... is fish SP's weedless and almost weightless in shallow water...
Do excuse the back of van photo but I had carried it up the beach to weigh for the club and the netters are very active locally at the moment... half a sniff of a mark and it's netted...
Anyway, this is what I enjoy, you can see a couple of the lures in the picture. A messy van is an Ok thing... Sort of...
Weedless rigged Roselet style lure in the soft compound on a Nogales Monster Class 3/0 with a single wrap of solder wire for weight, about 2g I think that is. Must weigh a hook rigged like that at some point and find out for reference.
Dead drifting though very gentle flow generated by the outgoing tide, I had a few tentative pecks on previous casts but a proper pull down to lift into the fish which went mental.
The water was thick brown form some monsoon rains and no light whatsoever.
Bass do not need to "see" a lure to take it!!
And the big girls are still here... A mate dropped a mid teen at the rocks at the weekend as he couldn't get it up onto the reef. Big Baits.
