Will Wright Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hey guys kinda new to lure fishing and just want some advice on which lures and which weight jig heads for flathead. I've got the raider snapper 15 to 45g cast weight with a stradic 4000. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mii11x Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Nearly all soft plastics work for flathead mate, all you gotta do is keep bouncing them off the bottom. Jig head weight will depend on the water depth your fishing really. Where abouts you fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingie chaser Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Are you land based or on boat or kayak? Lots of things influence what weight jigheads to use. Wind, tide, drift rate, water depth, main line/leader weight. I always try to fish as light as possible but do tend to use a slightly heavier head if drifting in my tinnie with a moderate run but I also try to cast forward for the drift as well, especially with a lighter weight & in deeper water.

SaltyGreek Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hey mate Ive had success on 70mm and 80mm squidgies fish in silver fox and black gold colours. I usually pair them up with 1/8th-1/4 ounce jigheads. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Depends a lot on the bait that’s around at the time and where you’re fishing. Small mullet and whitebait i like a 3.75mm translucent lure on a 1/8 jig head worked all over the water column. Prawns a wriggler type plastic on a 1/16 or 1/24th suspended. Whiting a 5 to 7 inch shad on a 1/4 to 1/2 jig head along the bottom (depends on current). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayc99 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Your rod is probably too heavy for sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
