Hi there that was me haha 👌 they work very well😀

[@benturner4966]

Great video my favourite lure is a paddle tail caught all my trout on them . What is the most common weight jig head you use down there?

[@Topshotbowfishing]

Thanks man! My go to is 1/8 of an ounce which is about 3.5 g I wouldn’t go much heavier than that I would go lighter especially when the water is flowing nice and slow for bouncing off the bottom

That was down by the Karapiro dam

Yes for sure I just don’t like the taste of fresh water fish that much 👌
