 I've used the flick baits in white and about 3 inches long, the herring lovem, but they destroy them pretty quick. Got a heap of big johns jigs in 1/8 and going to try them next.

 A bit of green lumo tube (or a green rawl plug) on a long shank hook is as good as anything if you're looking at using an artifical bait

Waxwings

Sat, 2017-06-17 20:55

 Although not plastics, I find Shimano Waxwings 58 (mighty) in any colour/pattern work a treat.

If herring are about, they will get them.

check bargain bins in your local tackle shop - I picked up a stack at 3 for $10

Drinking straws

Sun, 2017-06-18 06:05

I use a small blob and about 2 inches of drinking straw over a small treble or 1/0 tarpon on a metre plus leader under the blob. Just cast out and fast wind in, if they go quiet then change the colour of the straw

is a Crazy Charlie fly behind a blob.
Cant resist the fly, and the blob gets it out there without needing a fly rod.

Most recently i caught them on Zman Streakz 3.75" in redbone.
