Soft Plastics

[saltwater assassin]

Just thought I would share with you what types of soft plastics we use over here in the states.

First one is a Texas Tackle Factory Killer Flats Minnow,

the second is a Texas Tackle Factory Red Killer, third is a Norton Sand Eel, and the last one is a Norton Bull Minnow.

This is just a few of the choices we have. These are the ones I like to throw, there are so many to chose from.

I should be posting some pics of the hard baits I like to use pretty quick.

Ever seen these Mate?

Tassie Devils?

They hover above the bottom and from what i see of the Speckled trout, reds and flounder over there i reckon they would all love them!! [img size=198]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Tassie.jpg

I here you Brian, I'll stick with the hardbodies for a while, all I seem to catch on plastics is flathead

[Oztrav]

holy crap brian cut up your gulps to use as berley and the rest donate to charity pm me and ill give you my address and send you postage money:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Brian D]

Ha OZ - one day when you get run in my boat do me a favour and don't bring any SP's - I got it covered.

[Feral]

Still catch most of my fish on soft plastics or live bait. For me plastics are a bit more versatile than hard bodies, you can mix it up a bit more without changing lures (IE depth changes are as easy as changing the speed of your retrieve!)

No such thing as wasted money when it comes to fishing.

Hey brian if you can't catch a fish with any of those,,, you may aswell quit! You've got them all!

Well I too was about to give up on the whole sp thing until last weekend. Headed out on the Coomera for a late Friday session and took no bait as I was determined to get something on sp's. I managed a 55cm flattie on 4\" minnow pumpkinseed then I managed a jack of 28cm on the same sp. Nothing flash I know but there's something about flicking lures rather than just sitting there waiting for something to take the bait. I had something smash the sp and bust me off real quick, no idea what it was, and I was only using 4lb fireline. Any way don't give up.

BRIAN quick question , Where do you get the lure boxs from ???.I am starting to get a collection(not as big as yours)and need some boxs to put them in.Those boxs look to be adjustable for different sizes.

Thanks.

[Feral]

Non Adjustable - Crazy Clarks - $5 each

Adjustable - was in Kmart on weekend, they had Jarvis walker units 2 for $15 with a spool of crap line thrown in.

[Brian D]

Hey Lozzel - I have collected them from a few spots but I gotta tell you the best bargin is at Big W. I get realy cool \"No Limits\" bag with 8 adjustable boxes for $50.00.

The bag has shoulder strap, handles, section for all the tools (knife, plyers etc) and another section for all the trace lines.

The Shamino single boxes are $10-12 each so I justify my spending by saying bag is worth $40 and the boxes worth $80 + so I get $120 value for $50.

I have 2 - 1 bag I have had since Oct 06 and is still in perefct condition and I am not the most carfuly person with my things. Bargin

[Lozzel]

Thanks Feral, Will have alook at K Mart also Ill take a look at the Tinny & tackle show on friday.Might have some specials on lures too

[Lozzel]

Thanks Brian will look out next in BIG W. Talk to wiffee nicely and shee might buy me one.(Birthday coming up soon) :evil:

[Brian D]

Here mate - let me test out the new camera. The drop down part at the front fits about10 bags of plastics. Pretty cool for $50. Also the boxes can fit lying down, which is handy when you only want to take say 4 trays but you want somewhere for your lunch and stuff.

Whats wrong with Flathead?

[Lozzel]

Cool Brian ,If she buys me one of those I can buy more lures to fill all the boxs. :woohoo:

[Rex_Hunt]

I tend to use soft plastics if nothings happening on bait. i also find that when the fish r on u can go throw a lot without landing to many. i still love to use them especially for flathead bu i havnt really used them for othr fish but when i have ive had no luck.

If you are having trouble finding space in your lure boxes just leave the gulps out of their packages for a couple of days and tadaaar...all of a sudden you have miniture gulp that, when you need them, all you have to do is add water...the spacebag of the fishing world
