New to stickbaiting, but with Shimano Ocea at 2 for $50 I thought  would get some for the wife's Christmas pressie Big smile. 

Any suggestions on best choice of colours etc?  Mostly I will be fishing around Auckland, the buoys, inner Gulf etc. I'm sure everything has its day, but also some more consistent than others

Yep,
 we used them up north and east cape last year.
Purple was the best colour by a long way at both locations,
