Hi guys. I’ve been trying soft plastics down the Logan River. It was like my lure always being moved with the current after casting out. I felt my lure wasn’t able to sink at all as it may be too light. Should I use a sinker or a heavier jighead?

Heavier Jighead would be my choice if you wanted it to sink to the bottom, putting a sinker in front of the lure would not work well.

And throw up current and let it drift past you with the current. The bream usually nab it on the way through.

Hi all. I’m learning to fish using soft plastics. Anybody can help with a quick question please?
Should I always retrieve the lure after casting out? Or can I leave it stay in the water and wait just like normal live bait?

2 or 3 ball sinker (depending on current) to a swivel to a 40 - 50 cm trace. Size 2/0 baitholder hook or a 1/0 longshank. Best bait = Live yabbies.
As light a line as you're game.
 
 
 

Hi Quan Vu, welcome to the forum, letting the lure sit on the bottom will not achieve anything, after all it is just a piece of plastic, you have to make that lure imitate a live fish by flicking the rod and winding it in as well. They are designed to flip around and the tail to wriggle/flap in the water to imitate a bait fish which will hopefully entice a fish to strike at it.
