How To Start Soft Plastics Fishing (Beginners Guide) 

Finally a tutorial that actually is a tutorial and not just a video of a dude fishing

This is what RU-vid needs! A how to video for people who want to learn, from a talented angler 👍🏻

I’ve been fishing for 70 years,and this youngster hit all the bases and nailed it.This is what I do,all the way down to the knot’s.I wish I could get those exact baits here in the US tho.Great advice Nev.

this guide channel is full of so many hidden gems, you should upload to it more nev! id love to a fishing knot how to

I've been a lifelong live bait fisho. I've been trying and persisting with soft plastics for a few weeks now, I've caught one big tommy ruff for now but I'm still working on the technique. This video helps, thanks Nev!

i went to bcf asking on how to use these type of lures and no one knew a thing. but you covered everything i needed to no. your a legend thanks mate

The best guide to soft plastics for beginners. Well done mate.

finally found a good video with clear instructions like this. Thank you sir. Greetings from Holland

This makes me feel so much better about my first proper attempt today, a lot of ground covered over 3 and half hours and only 1 real nibble from something far to small to take my lil 2.5 curly tail. Changed up to a paddle tale on the way back down river but still no joy. I'll try the other bank next time, or maybe further up river

Mate thanks, I haven’t fished in years and now I have a couple of kids I want to teach them some things I did as a kid and fishing is top of my list. Never used soft plastics and you made it easy to understand cheers

awesome video mate, every plastic newbie needs to take your techniques into consider

Very helpful and very well done! Thanks😀

Excellent video bro! 2 months fishing and learning more and more from your channel! Keep it up

Very, very detailed explanation. Thanks so mucho for sharing your knowledge.

Hi mate New to fishing and watching this video has been a huge help to me starting off. Great job mate. Hope to see more from you

Been watching different tutorials. Your tutorial is SO good. Thank you! It’s nice to find a comment section that’s positive too. I’m new to fishing and I’m realizing how judgmental the community can be. Thanks, lad!

I’m late to the party, but this is such good content mate. I’m super keen on getting into Kayak fishing after watching your videos, would love a similar video on that!

Excellent video for a first timer like me. Well done!

Great tips, thanks for your time. Spinning is fun!

Brilliant what a great explanation well done!

awesome vid nev

Good presentation. Thanks for sharing 👍

Thnx Nev, well done.

This was awesome, thanks mate

Where I fish, 4kg braid would get busted up real bad. I fish with soft plastics using the same set up as I use for squid. Slightly heavier outfit but a bit more versatile.

great vid, im now comfortable on what to buy and how to use it!. well explained. might take me a while to master the knots tho🤔

Great video mate.

Great video, thanks mate 👍

Thanks for the good tips ❤

Thanks mate, bumped into you under the bridge yesterday, hope you were able to get onto the Perch. Appreciate all your videos.

Well done mate wating to see your next one 👍

Great video mate use some Burley to bring the fish out from hiding and cast around where you have put the Burley

I'll never forgive Australia for giving us the wiggles.

Neds Declassified Bait Survival Guide

THANKH YOU SO MUCH!!

Can you PLEASE do a beginner's guide to beach fishing! We LOVE your videos and am going beach fishing for the first time at Moreton @ the end of the year. HELP PLS

Snook and a salmon after watching this and learning about the soft plastics, thanks you

This unhure labuor in toishal placement on is grounds is on the captain open funxtion min or mincrob plole . Toon happy🎉

Great tips! Can u dip the lure in tuna oil also if I don’t have scent?

Thanks Mate

Nice tips

heey mate, thanks for the tips! is this your main channel or Nev's Fishing?

Great video. What happens if it’s weedy. Will you snag by doing this?

G’day Nev great video. Love your work just wondering would a 2500 reel work with the zodias rod that you’re using?

how do you avoid getting snagged on rocks and weed when you lure hits the bottom?

Cheers mate

what the name of the rod and reel on your light weight combo?

Hey Nev, been loving your videos, this one is the best I could find on beginners soft plastics. A question for you (or anyone else who knows), do you back your braid with something like mono, or use a tag like electric tape to prevent slippage instead? I can't find info on whether backing it with mono is a detriment when using soft plastics and if you should just go straight braid?

Hey I have just started to get in to fishing and was wondering what everyone would recommend for a beginner

Cool vid again mate . I join lines with a little barrel swivel ( just lazy or out of habit I guess! Think it’s us older fellas that never had braid back in the day learned to just use swivels and blood knots interested what your opinion Why a line to line with a uni is a better option ?

Hi nev love your videos mate you might have made my fishing life easier can you please tell me something every body tells me I have to use a loop knot using soft plastics but I noticed you used a uni so is it ok to just use a uni knot ? Cheers jeff

Thanx for the vid mate, very informative to a newbie in soft plastics. May I ask a silly question.. Cud you attach a clip as you wud use on a sinker or hard lure to give quick change rather than tying knots again ?? My hands ain't nimble as they used too be lol. Many thanks..

Hi kindly advise for exact rod and reel used as i cant check the balance of combo physically. Thanks

I’m going fishing tomorrow

Whats the rod and reel brands you're using here?

Try a lefty's loop to attach your jighead

Wanna get into fishing. Now I'm one step closer to getting started. Cheers bro!

great video Nev. I am a newbie, do these set ups not need a swivel? cheers

this dude knows his shit, legit as m8

Great video, one question, wouldn't tying the SP on with a uni knot restrict its natural movement? Would a loop knot be a better option? (Not arguing with Nev's logic here, he would out-fish me 100 to 1 lol)

i fish from a canoe, i put it just off the reeds on the edge of little islands in the lake and i am getting a bit frustrated with yhe behavior of the perch. Il be fishing my plastic like this and feel little tugs all the way. Then when i bring the lure to the surface il have massive perch follow it to the surface and break off pursuit. I tried pausing on my retrieval, they still break off pursuit. Why wont they take the bait but just tug the tail and follow it

When are you getting a fly rod? Every other channel seems to be getting on the fly train haha

Is that powlett river?

Two questions if I may? Your rel is very under-spooled as I see it, which will hamper casting distance. 1/8 inch from lip is what I have always adhered to. The other thing, which is more concerning is that you recommend a leader BS as more than the main braid??? Surely, if you get snagged, the braid will go before the leader?

You were at San remo why isn't that your video

Would a 6ft 2-4kg rod get the job done? Everyone I look people recommend 7ft

🐐

Hello i am from malaysia🎉❤

Just started using soft plastics and caught 2 flounder

❤❤❤❤

can i just 8lb flouro sa main line? got 2500 reel.

Whats the rod called?

❤❤❤❤❤.

Surly your leeder should be less breaking strain than your main that way you’ll only ever loose your leeder in snags not half your main

T curve rod?

Step 1. Learn to tie a knot. Step 2. Learn to cast. Step 3. Pick a bait you like to look at and fish with it. Cast and reel until you feel a thud. Youll know when a fish is on.

Is this a hair chest or microphone?

Personally, I would take 15lb braid as a beginner.

Can ask why no weights

I'm having trouble setting the hook when using soft plastics - any advice on what to do on a bite and when to strike\ how hard to strike etc? I've bought a few fish in and then lost them within a metre or so from the shore ocks.

You must have much, much softer lures than mine...

i wouldnt use double uni knot to tie braid to leader there are much better knots to learn that work much better fg knot is much better for casting
