Great wright up Mully, Thanks for taking the time to post. The bozzos look great but how do you rig a hook through them. I saw somewhere that you can cut the head off & use a jig head but I feel that those eyes on the bozzos look great & would work a treat. Can you show me what hook and waight you would use to have it swim correctly. bump -------------------- insanity takes it's toll, I make sure I have plenty of spare change

You can use the same style as my improved texas rig but not down the body of the bozo rather start from the head add your own weight or even used the heads with the weight on the shanks so as to be able to hide it within the shad itself like below
![]() using this you can push the weigh right up inside the shad making it look more lifelike.. This is the Texas rig but at the front... ![]() use the method down the very bottom to rig to do the same style as above.... Another jig head utilising the actual shads head sits very neatly also... ![]() # 1. Slide the "worm weight" onto the line, and attach the line to the hook. # 2. Insert a rigging or sewing needle with line attached up ther length of the worm until desired point of entry is achieved then exiting the worm and pulling through the line... #3. Attach the weedless worm hook to your line and push the hook eye and knot up into your pre made needle hole so it is invisible #4. With the hook end push the hook up into the body until it almost comes out the worms top side but not through.. This style is almost snag proof and having the hook further down the tail increases your chances of hook ups especially with bream trying to pull your pants down,give it a go and find some nasty structure to test it out.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() hope it helps if not just ask ill post up a video of the riggingfor you,,,ill make one up for you to follow... -------------------- YOU MUST SHOW RESPECT TO GET IT IN RETURN, NEVER PRESUME YOU DESERVE IT.....

depends on the rig up the texas styles are weedless run the m through the nastiest weed and you will be ok...
Most floater weed will catch up regardless of which rig you use as the weed will be pushed down onto the lowest point and stuff things up eventually. floting weed is a bugga plain and simple makes me cringe [lol] -------------------- YOU MUST SHOW RESPECT TO GET IT IN RETURN, NEVER PRESUME YOU DESERVE IT.....

Hi guys, let me start by saying that i only fish soft plastics, and have done so for a few years now.
For those starting out it's not too hard in chosing which lures to get. Try to keep it simple at the start and only get one or two packs that 'Match the hatch' in the places you want to fish. You can experiment with others later. Flatties & Bream will both bite on the same lure and Whiting will take a worm on a regular basis. Jig heads are simple, start out with size 2 hook on a 1/8th & 1/16 head & 1/24 head weight. Swap the weights depending on water current speed & depth etc, remembering that fish will travel up to catch the lure if it's presented in the right manner. For what it's worth we use TT's as they hold the lure well & don't split the plastic. Now you have a lure similar to the natural bait available to your area & a varity of weights to suit most conditions you can practise your casting & retrives (how you work the plastic). We don't use Gulp as it's not a true lure, and yes we have a definite favourite that always work well for us. Minnows & worms from Tackle Craft. You should be able to get three bags of lures & three packs of jigs for around $50 which is great value. From there you practise and ask lots of questions. Send me a PM if you want some help, happy to give out info gained from our Comp's. -------------------- C'mon honey, please, one more cast ???

Check out my post
http://www.fishing-oz-style.info/forum/ind...?showtopic=1468 flathead are easy once you find them. just make sure you get to the bottom properly. bream I have not had much luck on. got some snapper and flounder on a 4 inch green stick bait. stick baits seem to work best for me sofar, but I must admit I have not yet targetted bream specifically yet. Oh yeah setup: graphite spin stick 2-4 kg, size 2500 reel and 6 lb braid with 6-8 pound FC trace tied with a double uni and a clip for quick change at the end (thanks jg for that tip) contemplating getting a 1-3 kg spin stick and a 4 lb braid for going after bream.

Well guys Breamen gave me a bag of his Tackle Craft SP's to try out the other week I was using them in that spin day report that I did the other week.
I'm no expert on SP's but know how to use fishing gear we did allright in that report & considering the amount of chopper tailer hits that I got on those SP's I didn't have to change a single plastic they withstood the teeth marks velly well. Think I'll have to swap some of my YFT techniques for some of his Breamen techniques though ![]() ![]() Esp this year where I want to land a YFT on SP built the rod for it last year but the fish weren't there in any no's -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
