Vibes and Bladed Lures Australian Buyers Guide

What is the difference between vibes and blade lures?

Vibes are lures that are typically created with a plastic or metal body, yet some recent vibes are nearly a mash-up of vibe lures and soft plastic lures due to the vibe lure body being composed of a rubbery material. Many fishing lure vibes also have internal rattles or other audible modifications to enhance the vibe lure's ability to attract fish.

Blades operate on similar principles but are designed differently. They are normally made from a sheet of metal that has been carved into a certain shape lure (typically a fish). Some modern blades have bodies constructed of tough polymers like polycarbonate. A contoured chin weight is located on the forwards underside of the lure. The movement of the blade is created by this weight.

What fish can I catch on a blade or vibe lure in Australia?

Blades and vibrations can be useful for fishing for bream, flathead, and whiting in estuaries, bass, yellowbelly and redfin in freshwater, and snapper and other reef species off the Australian coastline. Of course, there are other fishing applications, these are just the start! The list of species tricked by these incredible lures is ever-growing, demonstrating their versatility. Make sure you have a few on hand the next time you go out on the water?

How do I use a vibe or blade lure?

They can be cast, rolled, or jigged vertically. They truly are one of the most versatile all-round lures in Australia available at Davos Tackle.

Some blade lures require a lot of movement to provide the desired action, but bladed lures simply require a small amount of movement to produce the enticing vibrations that attract hungry fish. Some lure blades are best when cast, while other bladed lures work best when fished vertically offshore beneath the boat.
