Its worth a look on AGM and Camotackle for SP's as well. One of the main things to consider is type of tail. I used little paddles, straight tails, fluke tails and curly tails etc. It would change on different nights as to which would work.
The actual SP sizes ranged from Keith's 'plankton' lures, which are called Yamash ita Worm Bakes I think, which were maybe 15mm long, up to maybe 3 inch lures, such as the Megabass Tiny Xlayer and 3inch one-ups.
You'd have thought that little Pollack and Pout would be suicidal when taking little lures, but it was shown on numerous occasions over the LRF sessions that there was marked preference for certain things. Rigging a 2inch curlytail on a Carolina rig with a swan shot as opposed to on a 1g jighead could mean the difference between plenty of action and blanking.
Don't be adverse to customising what you use also, I couldn't get bites on the Tiny Xlayer one night, so I chopped an inch and a half off the front, and started getting bites, but not that many. So then I cut the tail up the middle an inch or so to make it a fluke tail, which gave it a little more fluttery action, and got a few fish in the end, that I wouldn't have picked up otherwise.
Dont rule out the little metal blade baits either. Keith destroyed us a couple of times when testing them out against little SP's, deadly for the Pollack at night. I think they were designed for Oz Bream, Ecogear do some I believe.
Its good fun anyway, worth getting into. It takes your mind off Bass in the colder months. I would recommend also purchasing a good flask and a fuel burning handwarmer, essential pieces of kit on my trips last winter!
