Squigie drop bear paddle tails.

I think they will take anything that swims past, but my preference is Z-Man curly tail in the opening night (white) colour. Or any 3 or 4 inch grubs.  Lots of pauses in the retrieve.

If I am fishing the shallows it always a curl tail of some sort in 3-4inch. Have had great success on Gulp in green prawn in 4inch (Jewwies love em too). Lately I have been throwing about some Madz Lures (Can be found via facebook page). They are very much like the squidgy wriggler except a bit fatter. I like natural colours as opposed to all that lairy nuclear poltergeist type of stuff.

 

Deeper water I like paddle tails as you can get the vibrating tail action in the water column.

 

As mentioned above, when the flatties are on the bite they will take anything. The reason I like curl tails is that you can leav them sit on the bottom on the tail will waft in the current and still attract bites.
