Guest Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Lime Tiger and nuclear chicken in the 3 inch minnow are great on jig heads from 1/32 to 1/12th. Cheers Stewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve07 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The Gulp 4inch Turtleback worm in Pumpkinseed colour is excellent on flathead,bream & whiting. They work very well for me in the summer months,especially in Botany Bay & Port Hacking. Also like Swordfisherman said,the 3inch minnow in lime tiger catches me good fish as well. cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray R Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hi Slayer , for your flatties try the 5" jerk shads, in the LIME TIGER, ANY OF THE CHICKENS AND THE WATER MELON NEONS, jig heads we use are a 2/0 or 3/0 hook size 1/8 ounce..

Hodgey Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The other fellas have pretty much nailed it for you mate. Interesting, there is a pinned thread regarding soft plastics here: http://fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=24134 For flathead, I like 4" Minnows in Lime Tiger or Pumkinseed, or 4" Swimming Mullet in Rootbeer Gold. Jig head size will depend on water depth, clarity and current. I fluctuate between 1/8 and 3/8, all with 2/0 hooks. For breambo I like Lime Tiger and Pumkinseed in 3" Minnows on 1/32 to 1/12, again depending on water conditions. Good luck mate Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 As a rough start I would get 3in minnows in pumpkinseed or mouldy cheese with 1/16th no1 hook jigheads 6in camo worms cut in half and on 1/16th no2 hook jigheads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM79 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I can't stand the smell of the gulp products, I'd rather have a bucket of rotten prawns hanging under my nose than have to ever smell a gulp again. Thank god that the attractant that comes with the pro series of squidgies doesn't stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemmm Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I hear the Gulp Alives are going to come out in a new leak proof tub and you will be able to get a variety of colours in each tub. Still don't think they will be worth the price tag though. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
