Maaaaate super clip, that motor oil is so good, you might as well be using bait! No surprise with that being No.1 but the whole vid was so informative.
A very informative & well-presented video. I found the tips (hooks & jig heads) to be of special value. I have all but two of the lures you reviewed. I'll remedy that shortly. Thanks for sharing.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Colby Neil Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great vid as always Paul ... with the Monster Miki.. is there a special HWS type jig head you use? Seems like every one I use split them as they have very skinny bodies as you know.
Thanks G! For those reading this I thought I’d answer again. TT Tournament Series hidden weight jigheads. Other brands are too bulky and rip the plastic easily. Size 2 hook is ideal and a weight of 1/20th - 1/40th
Hey Al. Thanks for the watch, I think I’ll definitely do one for Snapper in the future. KGW on lures consistently is a bit tougher. As a guide, the 6” Gulp camo worm slightly cut down has been known to get them, as well as the 2.5-3.5”curl tail grub!
Fantastic & informative vid, thanks for sharing. What are your thoughts on the scents that are avail. I am thinking of having a flick in the fresh water section of the patio past the end of the racing area would you give your five a run in the fresh. Once thanks for the clear & concise advice
Matthew Fielden Thanks Matt. They are a Gamakatsu jig head 90 degree bend hook www.anglerswarehouse.com.au/product_detail.asp?productnospaces=gamakatsu_jig_head_90_degree_bend_hooks_50_box_-_size_2_12085
Hey Paul love all your vids mate, top filming and footage you put together. Just wanted to know when referring to zman grubz and slim swimz I see you always stick to motor oil. Is this because you only like these colours for success. I’m just doing a restock on plastics and i am sometimes a colour swap guy to conditions rather then always changing the profile and plastic and just wanted your opinion as buying plastics in all different colours is quite expensive and if you think it’s more successful to change styles rather then colours is more effective?
Hey Gavan, motor oil is a colour that i'm really confident with in most water clarity conditions, from super dirty, moderate, all the way up to relatively clear. Only time i won't throw it, is when it's basically 'crystal clear' - those times i'll use something more natural. I tend to keep it pretty simple, if i was going to go for 4 profiles and 3-4 colours, i'd look at a 2" & 2.5" grub, a 2.5" slim swim/paddle tail and a 2-2.5" creature bait (Damiki Monster Miki etc). Colour wise, Motor Oil, Pumpkinseed/Brown, Bloodworm and perhaps a light green/ayu kind of colour. The last question is a bit of a tricky one, it depends on where i'm fishing, time of year. If you have confidence if the lure colour and profile, it could be a location thing - ie. keep moving and casting. Some days you can't switch them on no matter what you do!
@@PaulMalovFishing your the man Paul thanks heaps for the reply and I have to say that the information is all part of my plan although in the past have spent to much money on colours lol. Hope the bump into you one day on the water and banks. Have you ever fished the Werribee river? That’s my local and have a hard time on lures there.
@@gavancassar1366 I'm over on the other side in Moorabbin so Patto is my 'local'. I've fished the Werribee a few times now and haven't had great success. A few here and there but keen to get a bit better on it for sure.
Hey Paul great vid again mate. I was wondering if you could please go over your light estuary rod and reel combos for bream, Ep’s and bass. Keep up the good work cheers
Hey Paul, would you mind providing a basic rundown in choosing Jighead hook size? im a bit unsure on how to judge what jighead size hook is suitable bream Cheers :)
Radish hey there! Thought I hit reply on this one earlier but just checked and it didn’t post. So let’s try again. As a guide, I generally follow this: for a 2” plastic I run a size 4 jig head. For a 2.5” grub or slim swim I use a size 2 jig head. For anything 3” and bigger I move up to a size 1 and a 1/0 for 3.75” and bigger. Hope that helps!
Thanks Paul .. what leaders do you use around rock walls to keep as much action on the plastic without compromising the ability to pull to pull them out? Cheers .. thanks for sharing
Steve Teale Hey Steve, if it’s just rock and no timber and the water is very clear, 4lb, If it’s rocks and timber and stained/tannin/dirty then I’ll run 6-8lb
@@PaulMalovFishing Cheers .. thanks Paul .. I hear you run double uni knots on Miller rods .. is there an issue with that .. the blurb I saw said Miller rod guides are tuned to FG knot? cheers
Steve Teale some of the custom rods I had made, I had Ian put in a slightly larger guide set (especially my heavy rods - Beast Buster). But even with the custom Grub Freaks and new production rods I’ve had no issues. I just keep the number of turns on the leader side down to a minimum (3 turns for 6-17lb and 4 turns for 3&4lb)
@@PaulMalovFishing thanks Paul .. I’ve tried other knots esp with so many micro guides these days but I come back to a tight uni knot .. I’ve eyed off miller rods but baulked at the ads that specify they are tuned to FG knots.. Another question.. What do you use to film your You Tube clips with? Cheers Steve
