matt_nsw Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Thanks Chris. I know the ones, I have a few packs somewhere. They used to be my favourite 'goon lure for catching fish I never got to see. How do you rig them on a jighead? 46928[/snapback] yeah, i was using the tt revheads lastnight 3/8oz 5/0 then when the tide slowed i cut down the weight. last week hooks were the lunker grips dont ask chris, he will sure to throw in a betts spin in there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_lure Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I've always rigged them on a worm hook with a belly weight and used a steady slow retrieve just above the bottom. I'll give them a go tonight, as well as the similar Gulps and Powerbaits. 46952[/snapback] I got mine on/near the surface as the jews where smashing mullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_nsw Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Now that's interesting. All my jews have hit lures on the bottom.I'm not fishing bridge pylons tonight, but next time I do I'll try something closer to the surface along the light lines. 46955[/snapback] it definately was a very impressing take from a jew ay chris? but it was one of the only ones i've seen from surface. most of the ones i get out there are in the last 1/3 of the water column. what time you getting there swoff?

Captain Pugwash Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Matt, apart from well done on the Jews I have a question. Is that rod an Ian Miller RackRaider? It looks like one. That is my alltime favourite light rod. With braid on a nice little reel I have never held a better rod in all my fishing days. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_nsw Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Mate tell my how you would like em!!Can do anything in a kitchen! 47058[/snapback] i'll get back to you shortly Matt,apart from well done on the Jews I have a question. Is that rod an Ian Miller RackRaider? It looks like one. That is my alltime favourite light rod. With braid on a nice little reel I have never held a better rod in all my fishing days. Cheers Peter 47065[/snapback] yeah peter, its the 7'2" bream finesse. i love it. great all round rod. great for bream, bass, jews and salmon as below: i have a symetre 2500 on it loaded with 4lb and 12lb on the other spool. but im thinking of removing the 12lb for 8lb or 10lb. im with you, one of the best rods to play with without going over the $$$$ mark.
