Whiting on non surface lures

[faker]

Does anyone know any lures apart from zx 40 that can reliably catch whiting that are not surface lures? 

I lost my knock off recently of the zx but need other options

One thing that is a bit left of centre: try something with flash.

I’ve just learned the story behind a fly called the whiting mesmeriser. Google it. Basically it’s a little flashy fly which is meant to be very effective on whiting.

Apparently the fly’s designer, Shannon Kitchener, was fishing the flats when he came across a lady cleaning up on the whiting with a wonder wobbler.

Apart from that I’m not consistent on the whiting myself, so don’t have much to add.

Zman slim swim 2.5inch bloodworm colour (i have tried other colours but bloodworm is the most consistent), especially when they're prawn feeding

The retrieve is a bit tricky but essentially you need to flick/twitch it along the bottom rather than hop it off the bottom like for flatties and bream

keeping your rod tip low give it 3 or 4 fast flicks then pause, the idea is to mimic a prawn shooting across the bottom, the hits are generally not subtle

Scent is also a must for this technique 

It can be a bit hit and miss, whiting can be unbelievably fickle when it comes to lures

I'm hoping this summer I'll get a chance to film this technique
