How-to target Tailor on Lures | Fisho App

Tailor are a highly aggressive predatory fish that will happily feed on baitfish of all sizes. Due to their aggressive nature, lure anglers can also target tailor very successfully using metal spinners in the 30-80g range as well as stickbaits and poppers up to 170mm.
They are a highly popular beach fishing target when in season, often attracting large numbers of anglers to local hotspots when on the chew.
They’re a fisho-friendly species responding well to a number of technique. So here’s a rundown of what you’ll need to get out and chase them on lures.

Great Vid. Got a lot out of it, thankyou...

[@georges2721]

Great video my only feedback is that it would be nice to have each product description used in this video in a list form in the comments area below the video for ease.

[@tonytaru6536]

Hey bro , great vid & tips The only issue is the ratio of the reels required for lure fishing.I know some reels are faster than other reels on the market, it would be a great idea for you to give your wishful viewers/ followers an idea as to what a minimum or max ratio speed of there's reels when using lure. Thkx for your great tips keep them coming cheers bro.

G’Day Fisho, Great video bro YEEEEWW!!🤙🤙🤙 Just wondering if you could share the lures details. Like the weight and size of the lures you use please. Cheers.

[@highcountryaddiction]

Great vid mate, i have been looking at the Penn Prevaill in the same rod. How do you feel the 12 foot rod goes off the rocks and bashing the water all day? Is there alot of arm fatigue?

[@DavidJones-ep6vo]

Great info, learnt a lot. Do you use a swivel with the egg clips? Cheers

[@thataustralian4078]

here in wa you can troll for tailor in the peel estuary

[@seanmilhuisen8174]

Hey mate I have a 13 foot sensor sandstorm with 10k gosa with 50p braid can I still use lures with that. is that a good or bad set up. And can I tie a lighter leader on or does it have to be more than my main line.. love your content thanks for any advise I do need it.

[@danielayris3623]

Hi mate , I’m in the marked for a medium beach / rock outfit. I’m looming at getting a 5000 sustain and a daiwa sea jigger 10’6 but I can’t decide on what one the 6-9kg or the 7-15kg ?

[@terrychong730]

hey mate, do you recommend changing out the treble hooks for single hooks? or do you think they don't make a difference? cheers

[@eoghanpurser587]

Makes a huge difference

[@adrianoramos5939]

Any tips for buget gear? Twim powers and Stellas are bloody pricey.

[@GettinHookd]

have u ever used a 1-3 kg rod for tailor i got an 8'3" 1-3 kg rod and it works great

[@sirconagato]

What is the name of the rod?

[@Max-tu9vx]

Did you keep all of those fish?

[@scottyg5865]

Sammy the heavier rod you used there 12 ft 8-12 kg prevail penn would the equivalent in the prevail 2 be the 6-12 kg 1202SPM.?,Scotty M

[@stefanobalduzzi982]

Hi mate, Which model is the daiwa you mentioned in your video? Thanks

[@murrayspeakman5781]

Mate, what,s the chances of you doing a video of how to read the water and what structure you prefer to target tailor? Thanks

[@murrayspeakman5781]

cheers

[@kaynefryday1251]

Cool

[@johnpenfold8267]

have u fished for tailor at jervis bay tried for 1year never got one yet

[@sureeponsawsse5895]

[@ninjamoves3642]

retrieve or two would have been handy lol

[@noahwieland60]

Would this also work on the rock walls

[@chopppacalamari]

Yes it does

[@musicmanthatlikesoldandnew7324]

Can I catch big trailer with ten pound line with no leader I don’t even know what a leader is

[@aussiebornandbred]

Yes, its possible, but be prepared to lose a few lures and fish,, they have very sharp teeth

[@lachlandavenport293]

I landed a 43 cm tailor in a river with 4 lb braid and no leader

[@lachlanoneil8938]

The smaller ones usually don't suck the bait, lure down too far.

[@johndenning9230]

Why left-handed, though? Most people are right-handed, but the left-handed reel set up seems to be promoted, for reasons I don't understand. I've been told it's due to left arm strength, but I still don't get it. JD

[@nicholaszanker-close1573]

I've heard it better for righties to use a lefty reel, as they usually cast predominately with their right arm. Thus having the reel handle left handed allows the angler to start the retrieve quicker which is better for reaction bite fishing in heavy structure where you want to get straight into the retrieve to limit snags and also to make sure you have the best chance of extracting that fish quickly from heavy structure

[@johndenning9230]

@@nicholaszanker-close1573 I guess so, but to me it just feels awkward trying to reel with my left hand. Plus, I suppose, I trained my left side to be as strong as my right side many years ago. Just changing the subject, with the third cast of my 2-4kg outfit yesterday flicking a soft plastic off a jetty, a 43cm trevally devoured it. What a great way to break in a new rod! JD

[@nicholaszanker-close1573]

@@johndenning9230 dam that trev seemed sick as! Yeah I don't use my left hand either, feels weird like you said. Have a good one ay 👍🏻

[@rodneyharper5940]

Those tailor at the end looked undersized. 35 cm is legal.

[@craigd123]

Ok inspector

[@lachlanoneil8938]

40 lb braid with 12 kg max rod isn't that just asking for trouble and bad casting.

[@zackemp7637]

Lachlan O'Neil that’s not how that works mate

[@lachlanoneil8938]

@@zackemp7637 well if you put the rod straight at the fish it won't snap but I don't think you know what your talking about because you will never need 40lb for tailor I caught an 80cm pink snapper on 20lb easily a week ago.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

@@lachlanoneil8938 Hey mate, like I say in the video that is my heavy tailor setup. The 40lb braid is a lot more durable when it comes to repetitively cast heavy lures all session. The heavier poundage results in a lot less braid breakage due to wear. It also allows you to successful lift heavy fish up the rocks from the higher platforms or put a lot more pressure on the fish during rough conditions. The other upside is that if you hook a mulloway, mackerel, trevally or tuna while your casting you stand a half decent chance of landing it.

[@lachlanoneil8938]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing I didn't watch the whole video again so that's why I was mistaken, thanks for the reply.
