what fish have you caught on a good old Tassie devil?
As much as I acknowledge that I am a bait fisho, I still occasionally reach for a lure and the lure I most often reach for is the good old Tassie devil.
Thus far I have managed, over the years, a couple of trout and a couple of redfin on Tassie devils.
However doing some research recently it seems far more species - both fresh and salt water - have been caught on them.
So I thought, out of interest - I would put the question out there - what fish have you caught on a good old Tassie devil?

Trout and redfin. I've heard of cod and yellow belly taking them too. I reckon un-fussy predators like pike, salmon and flathead etc would go for them too if they were the right colour.

Besides Trout and Redfin I have caught some salmon on a No#29 20 gram Silver Bullet they are a pretty good casting lure especially in the larger sizes I think the biggest they make is 26 gram not sure if Tassie's are widely used in the salt but I can't see why they wouldn't work.
