Soft Plastic jig head weights
Submitted by Wazzam on Wed, 2017-06-21 09:47
Hi, I am heading up to Exmouth and going to try my luck at softplastics. I am going to use the following Zman plastics
5" Streakz, 5" paddlerz, 5" Jerkshad, 7" Jerkshad, 6" Swimmerz, 8" streakz and 10" Heroz.
I have the range of hook size's I need from tackle tactics but just wondering what sort of jig head weights I should use. I will be mainly deep sea if the weather is good.
Should I get a whole heap of different weights and give them a go?

Hi mate.
All depends on depth, current, and wind. Current and wind will obviously affect drift rate. I fished plastics up there a year or so ago. I think I was fishing a 1 ounce in the 40-50m mark. Had to step up to 1.5 and 2 ounce in the 50m plus depths (depending on conditions). Didn't fish any deeper than 65m.
