What wait for jig heads

[MarshallC]

I've been targeting flathead for a while now but only really used jig heads depending on the size not the weight. What weight jig heads should I use for flatties in 2-7 metres?

Thanks

It depends on the tide. No matter how deep it is, you want to be able to get to and stay on the bottom with as little weight as possible. You don't want your lure to drop like a brick. you want as much action as possible so the lure flutters down. It's trial and error .

Yeah thanks,

I usually fish on the last 2 hours of a run in

1/4oz works for me in tidal areas

I agree with tackleberry, that suits me most times.

1/8oz to 1/4oz will do fine unless the current is particularly strong, in a chosen location. Good luck.

Thanks raiders,

Will get some ranging from 1/8 to 1/4 oz

It really depends on what lures your using. Not only the profile of the lure but the plastic used to make it. Different lures will make a surprisingly big difference in sink rate regardless of their profile. Keitechs for example usually recquire me to go from a 1/4 oz up to a 1/2oz because the material is much more buoyant than the zmans material in the same profile.

What's your "go-to" lure?

I'm going to get Zman 4 inch swimmerz and minnowz also a few Zman grubs in 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch.

Thanks

I always cary a packet of 1/6 as well.

[Adsy91]

For the swimmerz I'd use a 1/4oz to 1/2oz, the grubs you should be fine with between 1/20oz to 1/16oz for the 2.5inch and between 1/16oz to 1/8oz for the 3.5inch

Squidgy 75mm fish with squidgy 1/0 6g jig head is the perfect match, try this and be ready for a lot of flatheads...
