as skrewloose said, grab

Thu, 2010-07-15 17:23

as skrewloose said, grab yourself some tt switchblades in golden boy and copper head,

sx40 if 348 (red), baby vib, daiwa shiner, zipbait tiny in carmen red just to name a few.

The bream pros on the sight will have some better suggestions, brenz was up at the moore river last weekend so he should be able to tell you what did the damge

only problem with the baby

Thu, 2010-07-15 18:26

only problem with the baby vibe is the casting distance, unless ur on a boat you only get about 10m casting distance,unless its the rods/reels i use...

To get that extra distance

Thu, 2010-07-15 19:57

To get that extra distance on the really light lures, a light graphite rod with the right kind of action, especially in the tip, and a small reel with low casting resistance and a very fine smooth braid leader will help out. Once the lures get really light, you really need finesse gear to get that extra out of them (not that you cant cast on heavier gear, but if the rods too stiff or sloppy it'll make more of an effect than with larger lures).

i used to use 2-4lb line

Fri, 2010-07-16 12:44

i used to use 2-4lb line class using vibs and i used to get 15-20m casts minimum. you need really finnese gear, just as hlokk said. they only need to be cast small distances anyway. the right matchup of gear makes all the difference.

if there anything like

if there anything like sx40's, there actually lighter than vibs, i believe? hence, less casting distance. again, its not a problem on light finesse gear.

Around the mouth,

Thu, 2010-07-15 20:12

Around the mouth, especially, they do feed on worms and the killer for me are the Berkley Sandworms in new penny or camo. Stay light in the jig heads, 1/20th or even 1-40th is you have the rod to cast them.
