Ok, top ten smaller softies please. There been a fair bit of debate/discussion regarding the lighter stuff, be great to have a small list for suggested micro SP's and the ideal weight to accompany them.

Tiny xLayer, 2-6g

 

[Mike Hayes]

Thx paul any colour preferred by yourself?

 

[Mike Kennard]

Not caught anything on them this Winter yet but my best small plastics have been Atomic 2in grubs. Natural colours have been best like pumpkin seed, watermelon and salt and pepper. Leadhead between 1 and 3gm have worked best. Hoping to try them for pollack, pout, channels etc soon.....

To be honest I've only used the cleat ones (colour code 0066 Aurora shad)

Mike,

1'' - 2'' curlytail grubs in white or green. Try AGM

Try using the last 1'' to 1.5'' of Gulp White Rag.

Jigs for both 0.5g to 5g

 

[Mark Sleep]

Hi Chris. What heads are you using for the curlytails? I managed to get some 3.5g with size 4 hooks, but that was the only head I could find with hooks small enough for the little body of the grub thing. You out tonight? You can just show me then if you want..

 

[Keith White]

I suppose it depends alot on what we are going term 'micro sp's'

Under what size does a SP become 'micro' ?

Mark,

I am making them, as some small SPs need long shank hooks like Aberdeens and others may need short shank hooks like Carp hooks. Weight wise I am either crimping split shot on the hook shank or using a Rapala knot (Youtube) and crimping split shot up the line, remember never pinch split shot with pliers -- use your fingures, and if the split shot does not slid ounce pinched you have over-pinched it. This seems to be a more versital method than setting them on jigheads.

Ask to look in my tackle bag Mark.

Hi , have you thought about using tungsten putty thats used in carp fishing, its more versatile and will not damage your line, just a thought
