In this episode, we are in full experimental mode searching for good alternative replacements for the Berkley Gulp Turtleback Worm. That provides good swimming action, durability, catch rates and cost. We have been trying many different plastics in recent months with mixed results. In this episode, we put the Munroes 4 inch Curltail worm paired with Spin Wright jig heads with assist hooks through its paces fishing locally at Port Phillip Bay trying to catch King George Whiting, Grass Whiting, Flathead, Pinky Snapper, Snook, Australian Salmon and more.
It's a great episode with plenty of catches and honest feedback of past experiences and on water testing.

Hey Alan. Love your work as usual. Might give these munroes a shot. I recently ordered some curltail worms off temu, super cheap. Haven't had a chance to try them, but would love to see you give them a shot ... Could save a lot of money!

Howdy, I reckon grass whiting get a bum wrap as an eating fish. I've got a spot down the Otways I always get feed, catching them on half a scrubby. They love them. Filleted and crumbed they go really well as a feed. King George of course are superb but grassies or blue arsed whiting are good fanging
@fishingmad
@fishingmad 2 месяца назад
Yeah, my mate said exactly the same thing fishing 2 days ago. he couldn't believe I was releasing them as he said they are excellent to eat aswell
@achebwahs1111
@achebwahs1111 2 месяца назад
@@fishingmad I think their name contributes to the stigma. They don't eat grass but hide amongst it. They chow down on the same tucker as the king George. Haven't tried the half scrubbies on the King George yet. I use a double paternoster rig, light sinker, size 4 - 6 long shank or circle hooks with some glow beads and sleeves. Worth a try and cheaper than plastics when you know where to source them.

I use 1/12 in 1/0 with an assist running on them with a small hook. Watch this vid which shows the exact setup about half way through ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-flPqbfnnMsY.html

@carlg8933 2 месяца назад
Alan, just wondering about your hook up percentages. How many fish do you hook on the assistant hook as opposed to the main jig head? Ta.
@fishingmad
@fishingmad 2 месяца назад
I get 95% of the catches on the assist hook and I've caught hundreds of whiting on plastics. trust me it makes a massive difference. I don't bother using assist hooks for any other species.
@carlg8933
@carlg8933 2 месяца назад
Fiddly job, but made up half a dozen jig heads and assist hooks. Will see how they go! 🙏

I made a turtle black worm out of Moulding plaster, put it on a floor tile and put it in the oven to harden it. after it was hard i let it cool, then built a box around it, filled it with Moulding silicone, waited a day and demolded it leaving me with a perfect top pour turtle back worm Mould. now i can pour may own costing me around $5 for 50 worms, use on whiting just like this. also found the drift speed has to do with the grass whiting they seem to like a bit faster drift the grass whiting

Wow that's a great idea making your own mould, and yeah I agree about the faster drift theory too
