Went in at Hillarys on Sunday chasing a feed of whiting with paternoster rig and squid bait. Boated herring & skippy & threw back heaps of under size pink snapper. We could see the schools of whiting and they were sucking the squid clean off the hooks and did not hook up one. On the way back in I was wondering about targeting with soft plastics and this vid came up on my feed, so good timing, thanks for the detailed vid.

This video has been such an inspiration and demonstration to try things outside of the norm and step away from what we are traditionally comfortable with. Can't wait to give it a go and highly recommend people get in touch with Jason with the understanding he is a one-man operation so give him a some time with orders as everything is hand made. Just like yourself, his passion and knowledge for everything fishing is infectious and he is a ripper bloke at the same time. Keep up the great content mate!

Hi Alan Stinger hooks! Great idea but I had a problem buying the swimlockz. Only available in monster sizes and no good for small jigheads. My fix was to feed one end of a leader through the small eye on the jig head and then feed it back through the same hole. This gave you a loop on one side and two free ends on the other. I used fluro but your choice. Take the loop and form a simple Palomar knot over the jig head. Result is a solid knot which won't move. Take one of the free ends and tie a stinger to it and to the other end tie a loop knot or a swivel. You can have this end as long as you want. Most informative vids you have here Alan. Cheers Alan H
@fishingmad Жыл бұрын
Hi Al, yeah i also found the swimlockz jigheads to be way to big. That's why i had the guys at Southern edge lures custom make them for me and im also making and expiramenting with some of my own now. You can certainly experiments with the length of the stinger and positioning of the hooks and knots. I always found most consistent for catch rates was 6 to 8 cm down from the top of the jig head which also didnt seem to impact the plastics swimming action to much.

@fishingmad 2 жыл бұрын
Its a great question. Its much more challenging in parts of West Port this technique because of the very strong currents. You either need to do this during slack tide 30 minutes each side of tide change or pick an area that's sheltered and shallow where your jig head has a chance of hitting the bottom. Get those things right and you can catch plenty with this techniques.

I think the technique should work if you’re just using a normal jig head and tie the assist hook line into the main eyelet. At least this is how I am going to try it and see if it works

Think this would work in surf gutters?
@fishingmad 6 ай бұрын
Yep 100%, may just need to use a heavier jig head if its not getting down to the bottom

Does this work from the beach surf fishing??
@fishingmad 3 ай бұрын
Yes 100% it does work from the beach, just need to increase the jig head weight if you need more casting distance

Is it not a swimlockz jighead ? Size 1/0
@fishingmad 2 жыл бұрын
Yes same concept, these ones were headlocks modified but the swimlocks are very similar and would work just aswell
