20g to 60gLures for Australian Salmon
Australian salmon are a classic spinning target from southern beaches and rocks, and they respond to the same fast metal as tailor.
The short answer
For Australian salmon, cast a rear-weighted metal lure like the Dart, which the store recommends as its best lure for tailor and salmon, or a Lazer or Lazer Slug when you need a smaller profile. When salmon are busting bait on the surface, the Teeny Poppa is built for high speed spinning.

Questions anglers ask
Is a salmon lure different from a tailor lure?
Not much. The same lures, spun fast from beaches and rocks, catch both, which is why the Dart is sold as the pick for tailor and salmon.
