I thought I'd share how I like to rig big soft plastic swimbaits for targeting giant dusky flathead in shallow water on Castaway Estuary Fishing Charters. In this video, I'm using an Irukandji Sicario 7"/175mm (incorrectly labelled 9"/225mm in video), but the same rigging technique can be used for a wide range of big soft plastics. We have caught several dusky flathead over 90cm using this rigging method, including a 105cm MONSTER.
Tackle used in video:
Irukandji Sicario 7" (175mm)
BKK Kajiki Light size 6/0
BKK Fangs 63UA size 2
Shimano OCEA Fluorocarbon 40lb
