HI 

Try a light line rig with a small ball float size (1) small sinker  (0)  and Mustard worm hook size 10 at 20 -30   cm under  the float and use soft white bread pressed onto the hook also bread burley .

But the mullet can be very fussy .

Hi Restyle

Check out Pangler on Y Tube . He does OK in the Cooks  on run up tide .

Bob

[Braid or Mono]

Check out Sunline Fine Float II mono -10/12 Lb . I have used this for some time with no problems .

[Is this weed any good?]

Looks good to me. If it is long enough to twist on a size 8 hook give it a go . I have used pond weed from golf courses -- It works . 

[Finally cracked the PB Flattie in reef bay]

Hi Max

For hooks look for Gamakatsu or Owner brands and swivels Mustard or Black Magic --these brands are OK.

Try some metal vibes like TT 1/4-3/8 in gold or pink colour on a slow small lift as they cast well and cover a fair distance .
