What lures for Swan River bream?
Small diving minnows (40-60mm) diving 1-2m: Zipbaits Khamsin Jr, OSP Dunk 48SP, Bassday Beat Eat. Work slowly around structure — jetty pylons, rock walls, weed edges.
Are expensive Japanese lures worth it?
In clear water with educated fish — yes. Premium lures from Zipbaits, OSP, and Smith have tighter actions and better hardware. In the Swan where bream see plenty of lures, that realism translates to more bites.
What retrieve for estuary lures?
Slow to medium with stop-start. Crank down to depth, pause 1-2 seconds, continue. Many bites come on the pause. Suspending (SP) lures that hover during pauses are most effective.
Floating vs sinking vs suspending?
Floating rises when stopped (good over shallow weed). Sinking drops (deeper water). Suspending hovers at depth (triggers cautious fish). Most experienced anglers prefer suspending.
