slinkymalinky Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 G'day Hamerz, Yep... you can 'bottom bash' no problems. In water up to about 25m you can drift, casting as far as possible 'down drift' with a head heavy enough to get you to the bottom gently. Then work them as you drift toward the lure. In deeper water you can rig them on a paternoster. Learn how to tie a palomar knot and use it to attach unweighted jig hook/s that suit the tails, above the sinker. Then fish straight up and down & work them as you drift. You can also get some good fish fishing plastics in a berley trail. As far as tails go it's personal preference again. I like Jerk Baits when drift fishing because they sink faster (less water resistance than a pogy) but when the drift is slow or on the odd occasion I've used paternosters with plastic, I'll usually use something like a pogy that will be working without my having to put so much action into it. Try a couple of different styles and see what works and what you like. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wttmrwolf Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Check out the Fishin' Trip on channel 31 Friday nights. Almost all soft plastics. Heap of episodes online too. http://www.wasabitv.com.au/index.php?s=fis...&mode=index I found these shows really improved my success with SP.
