Im landbased and after
Im landbased and after anything that'll bite lol, im thinking tailor and flathead will jump onto them. What else do you think would bite? Im pretty new at this whole fishing/soft plastics thing

the pink baits should work
the pink baits should work well with snapper and dhufish after the ban if you can find them land based
Fish! HARD!

Slams
Mate they will work for tailor only problem is they dont last long...Its hard to tell but I normally run with the nitro heads or TT's size #2 and 3 hooks 1/6 and 1/8 weights. I fish light and good flourocarbon leader and you would be suprised what would smash a plastic.
You might get away with the middle jig heads- It all depends on the wind, current but the 5" would still be ok for tailor maybe just a tad too big.
Match the hatch little buddy.

Cool
The middle set of 2 x hooks in the photos not the red ones to the right. I should have said to that I run powerbaits in the 3" and Macartheys same size for the size #2 hooks- want to get size right for the gulps and slams in the 4-6".
