Good news. Used your info, and got onto a few flattie. Natural / Light colors in the 3"Minnowz with 3/8th jig head and 2.5" Slim swimz with 1/4 jig head did the damage on some great flatties, they wouldn't touch the Motor Oil color so I changed to a lighter color and bang. I think I was using too light a jig head to get down to the flatties previously.@@tackletacticstv7687
@@knjohd you have made our day! That is awesome news that you got stuck into a few fish and nice to hear that a couple of changes made the differences. Fish on! Cheers, Justin
Hi, i just recently started using soft plastics and I was wondering if you can use them at night time? Will fish see it still? Ive noticed some lure colours have uv glow, would they be good for night time? Any tips would be great thanks!
Hey K3nGi, hope all's well and the fish are biting. The UV reactive qualities will work during daylight, with the fish having UV receptors in their eyes that pick up on these UV plastics. For night fishing anglers often prefer dark colours because they create a better silhouette, especially when fishing the surface, or plastics that create plenty of disturbance in the water such as paddle tails with plenty of action. Other anglers will use plastics that glow when charged with a torch, such as ZMan colour - Glow, Redbone, Glow Chartreuse, Nuked Chicken Glow, Coconut Ice Glow and more. Fishing around lights can also be deadly at night as your plastic is more visible and the fish are hunting bait that is drawn to the lights. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin

I like useing soft plastics but I've never caught a fish useing them I've used nearly all of them and tried many techniques and can't even catch a tiny one 😂
Slim swinZ have been deadly in the Parramatta River. I've run into nice bream, flathead, whiting, EP's and what I believed was a small king but never landed it. I use weedless hooks when I fish the Parramatta River, it's so snaggy and who knows what's down there 😂. Love the Zmans
my right ear absolutely loved this vid, thanks for this advice.
Excellent video. Learnt heaps on catching flatties with 2.5" & 3" slim swimZ with jighead 1/4ou 1/0 & 2/0.
I will watch this video 18 times at least. Luv flathead.
Hey Paul, good to hear you're a fan of the flatty as well! Hope you get stuck into a few soon. Cheers, Justin

@@tackletacticstv7687 thanks heaps for the advice Justin! Will be sure and cant wait to try out these tactics :)
@@k3ngigaming955 no worries, fish on!
with the weedless presentation, can you just let the fish hook themselves or do you need to set the hook more than you would.
I have a 3inch plastic with a hidden weight jig head with a size one hook is that ok
Great advice, cheers
More flathead videos please
nice vid
Thanks Guys, fish on!
Where abouts do you get all your tackle from?

A bit more info on colour choice and favourites would've been amazing, but otherwise a great vid
Thanks for the feedback Tim and glad you enjoyed the vid. Cheers, Justin
