Im no expert but for demersals the gulp jerk shads work good at night (sent and glow) I use good ol nuke chicken, 3/0 jigheads for the 5" and 5/0 for the 7". Offshore I have nailed 2 dhus (5 & 10kg) in two outings on the second drift both times using the big zman shads (8" I think????) bubblegum(pink) and the white ones have done the damage on 7/0 2 & 3oz jigheads in 35ish meters. I did bang a bit of sfactor in between the flaps too Its bloody good not havin to f around with bait
Yep, thats why I use it, works good, dunno if a mulie would stay on a jighead for long when youre casting it around and covering ground with it........

I reckon that the larger Squidgy Flickbaits take some beating. The new Whipbaits look good but I havent used them as yet.
The Z-Man and McCarthy plastics in the larger "jerkshad" styles have also proven to be very good.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
