Pinkies on plastic
Submitted by Salmo on Mon, 2005-11-14 12:47
Been reading up on this pinkies on soft plastic trick the east coast guys have been bragging about.
Found a few fish in the burley trail over the weekend, so cut off the snelled floater and tied on a rubber shad. White one didnt get a touch but a few minutes of bounching a red/pink one we came up tight. Big grin

Shads
Can't believe the amount of fish that are being caught on those shads at the moment..
From the dhuies on FWA, to your pinky, to the mutant sambo honsu caught.. All different sorts of environments and different fish species.. crazy stuff, might have to pick myself up a few of those..
Never been a big artificial fan, but certainly starting to reconsider my existing views..

Pinks
Were you catching them on bait as well? Or did they only fire up once you started jigging around and stirring things up a little?

Yep I was a bit sus, but
Yep I was a bit sus, but after reading so much about crew doing it...well had to mix it up a bit. Dont recommend using a rod lighter than 4kg though...they sink quiet quickly so you have to keep the action going. other wise you end up with a sore wrist from a light whippy rod. I end up using my 7kg baitcaster with 9kg gelspun

Sweet
Interesting.. Might have to buy a few to keep in the tackle box incase we get some schooling fish around next time we go out..
Do you think using soft pastics (bream size) would have a better catch rate? rather than the bigger shads? for the snapper?

Rubbers
Had landed a couple more fish with these rubbers.....colour is more important IMO than size....I got some 5" Pink Eyeballs sent over from Vic.....snapper lollies.
Then again we have got one on a pearl snapback..
My mate has landed pinkies with me on Atomic tails ....in jelly prawn I think they were called...only slightly weight so you can flick them.
Havent landed anything over 4kg yet ....baby dhuies like them as well especially those R2S shads in pinky purple....
PINK ON PINK and that aint no porno title shizz...
