[Cowfish13]

Hard to say. Probably a Powerbait 3" minnow in pumkinseed. But the Gulp! 3" Shrimp (molting) and Pogy's (sardine) worked well last weekend:S

[Dan23]

Squidgy wrigglers and 3" powerbait minnows

[Feral]

Squidgee Slicks, great for barra and bass.

[pinkey]

My most succesful True plastic, is probly the smallest squidge flickbait.. If you called gulp a soft plastic, then it would be, the 2inch shrimp or 2inch minnow grub.

[fishyman]

Powerbait 3inch Power Minnow in Pink Lemonade

Gulp 3 inch Pogy's in Sardine

[pcsolutionman]

[pcsolutionman]

pinkey they caught me over 200 bream last year with 20 over 40cm, they really do work, next best was 2" gulp shrimp in mango riple

Lee

[pinkey]

Yeah lee thats amazing stuff. Did you try powerbaits and stuff around the pro boats? or did the gulps just totally overpower them?

[pcsolutionman]

nah mate got them on 3" powerbaits too, and on the squidgy flick baits, I thought the new squidgy pro worms would clean up there so got some but couldnt get a fish on them. Id love to fish HB there but they just dont seem to produce many fish, the fish seem to sit deeper and like a bait presented flowing with the current, I have got a few on the little R2S baby vibs

Lee

[Dan23]

I found last weekend that clear baits with a green tinge like the wasabi squidgy colour dramatically increase strikes over weed beds. Seems obvious I guess but thought I'd mention it.

[namyau]

gulp 2ich shrimp motling/natural/neuclear chicken/pearl white and new penny. 3inch minnow rainbow/pearl white and motling.

[kevinchen19870316]

gulp shrimp's my favorite lure for flattie jigging. for anything else, i love to use tiny powerbaits

[username_taken]

Gulp 3" swimming mullets in nuc chicken or mango ripple, plus 4" gulp alive mullets in pumpkinseed. Never had much luck with the gulp shrimps for some reason.

Also caught a few flatties on some of of the slider worms.

[Angus]

3 Inch Berkley Powerbaits. Pumpkin seed or the melon colour.

GULP Shrimps and Turtle back worms.

Angus

[Leighton]

4-5" Zoom Superflukes in Baby Bass, Nice natural colour with a little sparkle for added attraction. Caught fish on them at night and day. A Snapper and Flathead special

[Oceandonkey]

[maxi]

5 in gulp jerkshad sardine... bream flattys snapper tailor jew

[Schultzy]

Yes Kevin,

I've only been using the Bozos for about 18 months and have caught so many fish on them I use little else (when fising SP)now. They are biodegradable, scented and (best of all) Aussie owned.

[Cowfish13]

The Bozos really seem to be alot stronger than the other plastics that I've used. I should probably use them more often:dry:

[fishyman]

where can you get em?

[Angus]

Guys I have a great review of Neils that features the Bozo's. I was going to wait closer to the snapper/bream comp but in light of this thread i might get it up soon.

Cheers.

Angus

[flathead]

Well im trying to stop using gulp Bait\soft platics to much any more considering u could put it on as bait and the fish would take it ive got some packs of 3inch powerbaits and will also get some others look to bag out with no gulp sp's on the up coming camping trip next week:)

I've seen them in BCF, and I'm pretty sure the specialist tacle stores would also have them:)

[Schultzy]

Fishyman,

Fish n Bits in Toowoomba have a good range of them & I've seen them in BCF at Ipswich.

Most of the tackle shops on the Gold Coast carry them too.

Not too sure about in the city, I don't shop there.

MO Tackle has the Bozos Mullet if you like shopping on line. They don't have the smelts or the grubs though.

[pcsolutionman]

Tacklebusters at Beerwah also have a large range Shultzy, I havnet used them yet but will now after your rave report

Lee

[Schultzy]

Lee,

Check out the 75mm rigged Smelt/Galaxias. Very tasty little lures!

[pcsolutionman]

thanks mate will do

what species do u generally target on those?

Lee

[pinkey]

Today at charltons i spent $60 on lures. I got a R2S bubble pop 35 in pink, A Daiwa SC Schiner (40mm minnow not unlike the sx40), A Daiwa Gekka Lazy 5 ( 50mm Walk the dog lure ), and a Aqua Wave Shallow Magic ( 45mm sinking minnow twitchbait ) They look so sexy cant wait to use them at sandon, especialy the gekka and shallow magic.

[pinkey]

Oh yeah, has anyone here used the, SC Shiner, shallow magic, or Gekka lazy 5? or heard much about them?

[Cowfish13]

I've got 2 SC Shiner's. They're alright, not awesome, need way better hooks as well, but they are ok.

I would personally stick to SX40's though. Slightly more expensive, but worth it IMO.

But give them a go. You'll probably nail a Jack on it after what I've said:lol:

[pinkey]

Yeah, no sx40, but they should catch fish. Looks pretty good in the pool, got the baby bass colour. Well find out on thursday .

[flathead]

Tim also picked me up some lures after a phone call these included a bubble pop 35mm, a sx40 colour 307 i think, a pack a 3ich atomic prongs in pukinseed, a pack of 1 32th nitro jig heads and a 100m role of 3lb sunline flurocarbon leader for us to share:) but a little more mine sees i paid 10$ and he payed $9.95 lol all for the camping trip cant wait

[Schultzy]

Lee,

I used them on the squire last season.

Also have nailed the following species on them; bream, flathead, estuary perch, bass, estuary cod, flounder and a few horrible things not worth mentioning like grinners, etc.

This is the brown/gold colour. [img size=297]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/brown_gold.JPG

[Schultzy]

You might remember seeing this photo. It is a Bozos 6" rigged mullet in a colour called "sanger". [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/bozos_mullet_afo-8c5188a5fbcd9ecb4cf998aa4c996c54.jpg

Once you put owners on the 50mm Sshiner they're pretty good. Caught a bream and 40cm flattie on one the other day.
