Justin Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Ive been getting into the beach fishing lately and learning a lot as i go Is it possible to replace a whole, ganged up pilchard on a "T" swivel rig with a large soft plastic on the same rig? Ive never seen anyone do this, but thought it might work as the current, and a short leader would hold it in suspension with the tail wagging like crazy making it appear as a live bait. You wouldnt even need to check if your half melted pilchard has been washed off your hooks! it would be handy to know for those occasions that you cant find a bait shop, or are semi-unprepared. Thanks Edited September 26, 2009 by Pinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyt Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 worth a try i got kingies by just dropping a plastic over the side and leaving it there theres a lot more movement in the surf to bring some action into the sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcwang Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 i think the problem is finding an SP thats big enough for you to gang like that also the hooks would make one side heavier than the over and do all types of things to its intended action not sure if it would look silly in the water or not. Maybe better to just hook through the SPs mouth? that way the lure is still balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have these 5 inch Squidgie Pro things that have a tail that should create alot of vibration in the water Edited September 26, 2009 by Pinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilborris Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I've heard of this being done before,and I think one of the major SP company's makes large SP's designed for "bait " fishing,with a real heavy scent or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
