Yo-zuri crystal minnow a very good lure for barracuda's
http://www.yo-zuri.com/Products/ProdMinnow/CrystalMinnow.htm
particularly the red head,Blue/silver
Yo-zuri Pin minnow
http://www.yo-zuri.com/Products/ProdMinnow/PinsMinnow.htm
Red head,Silver black

Also the rapala magnum & x-rap  lures are good too
this one is great

also

You can catch 'cuda's pretty much all year round

ohh thnks martin,
once i bought Rapala Xrap glass ghost (could be seen on same site but press GGH).
http://www.rapala.com/products/luresdetail.cfm?modelName=x-rap&freshorsalt=Salt
is it still a good one for cudas?

stupid question but.... where could one find barracuda?  (deep waters probably!?)

bugibba/qawra is good for example? (from shore)

Quotestupid question but.... where could one find barracuda?  (deep waters probably!?)
No question is stupid my friend! if you don't ask you'll never know! To answer your question no not necessarily you can find them in deep water and also in fairly shallow harbours too..as granitu said they are all over the place this time of year,best time to go for them is early morning around sunrise onwards & at dusk onwardsin the evening.Agan as granitu said san pawl mal pont is very good also marfa can be good in the evening.

yes martin, i know...i'll try somewhere at qawra/bugibba area later, in beginning of next month ... because exams next week..
thnks

shall i try and use more than 1 lure? apart from having the rapala xray, it's better to have some kind of yo-zuri crystal minnow...!??

ohhh can't wait...
Title: Re: barracuda lures!??!?
Post by: MartinB on May 20, 2008, 21:33:43 CET
Id certainly reccomend a yo-zuri crystal minnow they are very good lures.First maybe try the rapala x-ray & basically experiment with different lures in different places..there isn't any real rules so to speak! go with what works!
Hope youu have good one mate

i found that the yozuri red head is very good for barracudas but if you do not have any lure will do in the range of 9 to 14cm

listen ppl.....yozuri lure, crystal minnow c5,
it has got a 'Redhead' why? to act as it is full of blood?
Title: Re: barracuda lures!??!?
Post by: skip on May 26, 2008, 15:52:27 CET
I believe red and white is supposed to simulate a fleeing bleeding fish that has been attacked. Either way, red head and white body seems to be very productive for Tuna. Not sure about cuda's
Title: Re: barracuda lures!??!?
Post by: placebo on June 15, 2008, 09:30:13 CET
yes red head is good for cudas. This year i got some good lures from ebay at a very good price which are giving an excellent result.

I got a nice range from DUEL at a very nice price (locally they are selling them for around 10EUR)

also got some replicas of YOZURI range from CHina...all they needed was a replacement of the treble hooks and they swim perfectly. I already caught lizzijiet on 5 of them!

fuq il haj biss tih il wire....fuq lure ma hemmx ghalfejn ghax mhux ser jaqta peress li jsib il lure go halqu.
dejjem importanti li meta tistad bi xlief irqieq ikollok qasba b action addattata.
tinsiex li jekk ghandek xlief irqieq u qasba b ferh ohxon xi haga ser iccedi u normalment jinqata ix xlief.

idejalment tarma qasba medium action spinning u xlief 0.25

hi  mates ,
can  anyone help me?
i need to know  what kind of lure i need for baracuda ?????????
Title: Re: barracuda lures!??!?
Post by: SPITEC on June 17, 2008, 12:16:43 CET
Hi sirena,it dipends on the places you would like to try for cudas especially for the size.The most used sizes are between 9cm-11cm.For the colour its very complicated because everyone has his favourites,its an opinion!I suggest you buy a few different ones and you choose the best one for you.I can assure you that all the lures some days work better than the others.
