Soft plastics

I'm new to fishing soft plastics and interested to hear what you guys think of them. Like what are your favourite colours, sizes, jighead weights and what species do you target with them? Also what do you find is the max depth you can fish them?

I like the McArthy 7 inch bull heads. Any colour. They have a better action and last longer than gulps. Slightly more expensive than the 3 or $22 gulps but well worth it.

I usually match it up with a Nitro 2 ounce jig head with a size 7 hook. Fish between 20-40m.

Lately i have caught dhuies, sambo's, baldies, tuna, black ass and snapper all on this placcy. oh and sgt bakers. Most tackle store have them in stock.

Dont bother with bait anymore on my boat it just leaves shit everywhere and doesnt catch any more fish. Plus its more fun in a light soft plastics set up.

2" Snapback Grubs work well, they're tough too blowies wont tear them up strait away. Squidgy pro wirgglers are good to but blowies tear them up fast
