As I discussed last month, reducing the size of my soft plastic baits and the power of my soft-plastic tackle continues to pay dividends and I believe it is the way of the future. By allowing more subtle presentations, it takes full advantage of the fishing on offer, even in hard-fished areas, and best of all, it is heaps of fun!
The right tackle is the secret though, since it must work together to present fish with a small but very enticing offering. So, briefly, for those who missed last month’s issue, anglers should use a long (7’6”-8’6”/2.3–2.6m) spinning rod rated for 3-5kg line, paired to a 2000-2500 size reel loaded with 3-5kg braid and
