    If you guys that fish the upper Manawatu had to use just one spinny thing, what would it be? Rainbows and browns.

    I don't fish there but I'm gonna say Black and Gold Toby, if you can't catch trout anywhere in NZ on one of them you're doing something wrong.

    PS: I can't catch trout on a black and gold toby..

    Ta. I'm just getting back into it. Used to fish Oringi quite a bit. With the Hutt river close to me now I thought I might as well give it a crack.

    Black Magic Spinsect @bomber @Dundee. You guys ever try one of these? If you haven't I would suggest they are well worth a go. Good action and quite heavy so you can cast them a decent distance. Bought one for my girls to try and it has been every bit as sucessful as a Veltec or Mepps but more time in the water via greater casting distances has equalled more hook ups.

    @kiwijames I've got a couple spinsects in the lure box. Landed a couple with them, hence used a Mepps Thunderbug as river up and a lot wider casts a bit further to the clear edges on opposite banks.
    Some evenings change a few lures, most success here black fury then a red veltic.
    Must get up to Hunting/fishing Napier again they have an awesome lure selection🖒

    @Dundee, do you think those holes are from a spear or possibly a shag?
