    Could you tie a light Jighead on with a long tag end, feed that tag end through the tail with a needle or something (I.e. along the hook ) and then tie more leader onto that?

    that way when you retrieve, you’re jerking from underneath the tail backwards with the tow point right at the base. 

    Na, I want the tail free to flick under the lure like a prawn flicking not swimming.

    Have ordered some Hidden Weight System Jig heads in 5/0 1/8th   May be a better shape to rif Backward Prawns on seeing the tow point if halfway down the back.   

    In water test next.   I will keep you all informed !

    This is what happens when I dont go fishing , I think too much !   I will try it out soon. I had thought of it spinning.   Ah its worth a try. Must be a reason others aren't doing it. Could only be retrieved in short hops !

    I posted a video ages ago on how prawns swim forward, and how realistic the Holt swim prawn is at mimicking this.

    But a fleeing prawn Flicks backwards!  How do we mimic that ?

    I tried a hidden weight hook, Possible. but the hook I had was too small for the 3" prawn.  Z man prawn.

    I fish mainly for flathead. They are interesting, they have moods !   I often wonder if it depends on how full they are ? They often land on the lure, to slow it down ? then engulf it when it moves,   Sometimes getting hooked under the jaw. ( hardbody trebles). 78 cm on 3 lb line this way for me !   How many times do they spit it out ? Playing with it. Smaller lures help. I have never used a stinger. I find them fascinating!  Nothing better on the table ! My opinion.

    Using Dropshot minnow

    Its a very nice small baitfish imitation.  Forget the Drop Shot part and use it as a normal flick bait. It has no built in action. so you need to give it action by twitching it, flicking it !  Rig it on a jig head as normal. I was out with our local guide mid last year, we were using similar on a 1/8 TT finesse  jig head over weed beds and drop offs for Flathead Bream and Tailor.  W were using Berkley POWERBAIT® 3” POWER MINNOW.

    Hi everyone, haven't fished for months, Went out on the Hastings Thursday last of the run out looking for prawns along the edge being chased by Flathead. Not a sign of them. But there were a few Flathead around. Took home 1 mid 50's 3 mid 40's and released a 77 C/m . Im happy !
