It's very difficult to catch a barramundi by land based because the productive fishing windows were very short.
My good friend, Chonga took me to the Channel Island to fish by his car this morning.
First I caught a queenfish on a suspending Lucky Craft Babyshad with a fine adjustment.
Second I caught a flathead on a suspending Lucky Craft Beefreeze with a fine adjustment. Finally I caught a 54cm urban saltwater barramundi on Sebile Swingtail.

The factory made suspending lures will rise slowly or sink slowly.
I need a true suspending lure for our cold waterfishing.
What's a true suspending lure?
When you stop reeling, the lure stops at the depth that the lure was at that point.
The lure just hovers in place.
The buoyancy of sea water is different from the buoyancy of fresh water.
Using a saltwater having a salt concentration of sea water, after several experiments, I finally succeeded in making an effective suspending lure for our cold water fishing.
This lure was originally a suspending lure for fresh water.
I added or reduced the sprit rings.
I changed the sizes of the treble hooks.
