my right ear enjoyed this.
Awesome video as always, good info for the beginner or the seasoned fisho.
Cheers Westy, nice to hear that people are enjoying them. Good motivation for us to punch out a few more. Cheers, Justin
I'm planning to catch my first Jewfish on soft plastics by the end of the year, any chance you can do a Jewie kit, would appreciate the help.
As always great advice thanks
Thanks Tony, much appreciated. Hope you're getting stuck into a couple. Cheers, Justin
Can you do a barra tackle kit
Cheers for the info
No worries Brad, all the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin

Sir i always watchingu r video's then u r explain very good & I following that method
id love to see a bass one of these
Hey Jackson, good call. We may have to do a couple of bass ones... one for the creeks and skinny water, and another for the deep water impoundment bass. Cheers, Justin
@@tackletacticstv7687 sounds like a great idea Justin, my top 3 plastics are the 3in minnowz, 4in turbo crawz and the 3.5in trick swimz.
@@jacksonfreeman7356 some deadly plastics those 3 and pretty versatile across a range of species and environments. Fish on!
Cheers for the video any chance of a whiting 1 coming up
Hey Damien, that is setting us a challenge right there! Definitely not the most commonly targeted or easily caught species on soft plastics. I have had some success at times when they are in an angry mood, fishing 2.5" Slim SwimZ in Pink Glow and 2" GrubZ and 2.5" GrubZ in natural colours on light jigheads, however it has been more by-catch than targeted. Cheers, Justin
Awesome vid mate. Do you reckon if you could do a video about what gear to use for mangrove jack.
Hey Richard, in terms of rods, reels, lines and leaders, it varies a bit based on the environment you are fishing and the other species that may be encountered. Braided lines commonly run from 20-30lb on baitcast gear, sometimes lighter on spin gear, with a leader of around 20lb-40lb, with the guys in barra country often stepping up again to avoid barra rubbing them off. Our team have been catching plenty of jacks on the Okuma Cerros baitcast reel and 6' or 6'6" MH 3-6kg and H 5-8kg baitcast rods. When it comes to spin gear it's commonly a 7' M 3-6kg rod or a step up in nasty structure and when there's a chance of encountering a big barra. The Cerros rods have again been getting plenty of use, with a 30 Epixor XT, Inspira or Helios SX reel. Hope this is a bit of a starting point for you. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
@@tackletacticstv7687 Thanks heaps Justin that's helps a lot I'm going to go get set up for some jack fishing.
@@richardrein5215 that is awesome. Sending good jack vibes your way. Fish on! Cheers, Justin
Good advice but is a red and black colour is good choice
Hey Marcus, good call on the red / black colour. The ZMan Red Shad and also Calico Candy colours are both popular options for anglers chasing jacks. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Which is best color for muddy water z man 3 inch soft bite for mangrove jack
