Only from about 9 to 11 o`clock, if that makes sense. You only want to move the lure 30 - 45cm per lift.

Yes that makes sense. Thanks!

It does the job but its hard to get that quick lift that jags the fish, plus it puts a fair bit more pressure on your reels gear train.

Oh ok I see. How high would you lift your rod?

My most successful retrieve is 1 short, fast lift, let it settle back on the bottom and leave it for 5-10 seconds before repeating. Note: I am fishing them along ribbon weed drop offs in around 2.5-4 metres.

A lot of fish are hooked on the outside of the mouth and I'm convinced the fish comes in and checks the lure out during the pause and the short lift jags it in the face. So many bream and whiting are hooked under the chin. That's why your hooks must be kept razor sharp.

Would a few quick winds on the reel do the same thing?

Hi all,

Just wondering whether you have a preference between these two lures, and which one works better?

Cheers

HI guys!

Have you guys ever tried the lure mention in the title? If so, what fish can they catch? 

Cheers

Hi guys!

I'm thinking of trying the zman 3.75inch streakz to have a go at something new. Have you ever used these and how are they?

 

Cheers

HI guys!

Im quite new to lures, and have started with blades and placcys. With the blades, I am:

a)wondering how to work them?

b)Should I change the trebles? If so, do I need to use any specialised hooks?

c)What blades should I get that are under 15$?

Thanks all!
