This might be one of the best flathead soft plastics on the market. This strange design has been around for many years but is now refreshed with a super stretchy and durable TPE material that enhances the swimming action, buoyancy and catch rates.
The flatedge 80 in TPE material is a flathead slayer that catches so many flatties as shown in this video, Im sure it would also work great on other local species like pinky snapper, bream, australian salmon and trevally. This video also shares helpful tips and techniques on how to catch flathead with soft plastics

Great vid Al... we moved here from nsw bit over 12 months ago, next to no salt water experience so the fishing mad content has been awesome.. thanks!!

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Im so glad the content has been helpful for you, got some great stuff on the way i'm sure you'll enjoy

@rickmccluskey1366 Месяц назад

Another great vid, thanks Alan.

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Thank you, its greatly appreciated

@theaussienut6346 Месяц назад

These were out 25 years ago and were smashing the flatty back then, still got one in the tackle box,

@paulgenevincent5564 Месяц назад

Good video Alan, I went out last week and only kept 2 flathead. The caught so many around the 30cm size but threw them back. I think the water temps start to to rapidly start dropping, fishing will pick up again.

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Yeah the volume of flathead between 27cm and 35cm is crazy at the moment, i went back last week and found some bigger models holding shallower around 3 meters, so maybe try that next time

@paulgenevincent5564 Месяц назад

Ok Thankyou

@eurekagold Месяц назад

Love the video thanks . I would like to know where do get the small green fish grabber to hold the fish to get the hook out I can only find the larger ones

@fishingmad Месяц назад

I picked it up from the bargain box at my tackle store so many years ago, its been brilliant. I haven't seen them since only the bigger ones which can be awkward

@michael-fb7ps Месяц назад

Wow lots of flathead mate good stuff it seems to be a great plastic cheers mate

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Thanks !! Yeah its very surprising as it looks very gimmicky, but its catch rates are excellent

@BudgetBoat Месяц назад

Totally agree on Flathead size legal limit should be 35cm minimum. Same with pinkie's. Great video. Will be acquiring some of these plastics.

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Thank you and Yeah agreed completely with size limits, I said 32cm to start slowly heading in that direction but agree 35cm should be the ultimate goal

@fishingmad Месяц назад

This is the legal size and catch limits for Victoria vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fishing/recreational-fishing-guide/catch-limits-and-closed-seasons/types-of-fish/marine-and-estuarine-scale-fish/flathead-all-species-except-dusky-flathead ( these are not duskies )

@teeanahera8949 Месяц назад

Those lures look a lot like a gurnard too so lots of predatory fish would be interested.

@user-ve7rj3eo8q Месяц назад

Hey Allen, I have been trying to catch e.p and Redfin in the upper half of the barwon river past Buckley falls closer to the ring road. Do you have any tips or tricks to catch some because I’m lost for ideas. Absolutely love the videos, cheers

@fishingmad Месяц назад

I have fished that system but further up, watch these vids here which might help ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5sYC21mM4YE.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PPgp-EDBBHo.html i found small lightly weighted soft plastics on the edges and structure to be best and shallow diving hard body lures aswell

@Chook57 Месяц назад

Ordered some, thanks for the video..

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Awesome 👍

@officialWWM 3 дня назад

Where from?

@bobperrett728 Месяц назад

Our Dusky Flathead in Queensland have to be minimum 40cm but tend to keep 50-60 as a good feed 👍

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Yeah we have recently implemented new rules on dusky flathead in Vic too, we mainly only get them in regions like Gippsland, but they are an amazing species so great to see limits making a difference.

@johnkeynes8873 Месяц назад

G'day Alan I will be ordering the new flattie lure just a question what size jig head should I use for kgw of the beach with turtle back worms ,great videos thanks.

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Excellent, For KGW I usually use 1/12 jig heads in 1-0 with an assist hook, pretty sure I have some vids on the channel about this which may help

@JohnKovacs-eu5yv Месяц назад

Awesome clip Al ! Are these soft plastics available from BCF ?

@fishingmad Месяц назад

I don't think so, I got mine directly from "on the Edge Lures" website, just ping them directly to confirm.

@BunnyandIarefoodie Месяц назад

hi i am really obsessed with fishing nowadays and do you think that you can do a fishing video in Sorrento pier

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Yeah, i'm currently filming a heap of land based vids its been a big focus at the moment, next week will show one of my best vids yet which is land based and Sorrento certainly not out of the question as another spot

@Darryl.M Месяц назад

I've got a mould for something similar that I haven't used yet.

@markseers8587 Месяц назад

Alan, thanks for the video. What size jig head do you use?

@fishingmad Месяц назад

I did cover this in the vid, but I was using 1/8 2-0 and when it was calmer droped to 1/12 2-0 cheers

@markseers8587 Месяц назад

@@fishingmad Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the question, I wasn't in front of the computer a couple of times. I enjoy your videos. Very professional

Hey Alan I’m thinking to buy a Kayak for the first time, any thoughts on Bay sports 3.6 kayak ??

@fishingmad Месяц назад

A few of my mates have owned bay sports yaks and had issues with the drive system failing. From what I know they are good value but not very durable.

@officialWWM 3 дня назад

Those are a cool looking thing but I can’t find them anywhere!

@fishingmad 3 дня назад

On The Edge Lures website is where I got mine.

@Tobysfishingandtravelling Месяц назад

Gday Allen, I accidentally broke the rod tip of my light soft plastic rod, And suggestions? I need not to expensive but the 140-180 range would be fine. I want the rod to be suitable for stuff like reddie, trout, snapper, whiting and flattys but it really has to be able to cast soft plastics a bomb. Keep up the great work and tight lines brother 🎣🎣🎣

@alexkorneyko6792 Месяц назад

Daiwa 23 TD BLACK GRUB'N 722ULFS is a decent one.

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Thanks for the positive feedback. Shame about your rod. At that price point have a look at things like a NS Amped, Atomic Arrowz, or if you can sneak upto a Shimano Zodias, Shimano TCurve or Daiwa TD Black.

@Tobysfishingandtravelling Месяц назад

@@alexkorneyko6792 thanks mate, I’ll look into it

@teeanahera8949 Месяц назад

Don’t just ditch the rod, put a new tip on it and glue it on yourself. New ferrules are available from anywhere that sells fishing gear. Your rod will have a slightly heavier action but is still a working rod.

@1greghawk Месяц назад

where can u get the newer TPE ones ? on the edge lures website says theyre not TPE they are a class 1 pvc?

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Might be worth sending Jason at On the Edge Lures a message to get him to confirm. I'm honestly not 100% sure. Cheers

@michaelcross2199 Месяц назад

Just ordered some

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Awesome, hope they work well for you.

@noahbalster4019 Месяц назад

Where do I get them?

@leslyons2723 Месяц назад

Hi Alan were do I get these from im finding it hard to catch flatties

@fishingmad Месяц назад

On the Edge Lures sell them, that's where I got them from. Jump on their website or FB page. Hope that helps.

@kernas6982 Месяц назад

Any advice for lure fishing in lake wendouree?

@fishingmad Месяц назад

Shallow diving lures and spoons slow rolled along the edges some great fish in that system

@kernas6982 Месяц назад

Thanks mate, what do you mean by the edges?

@fishingmad Месяц назад

its very weedy so fish along the weed edges, trout will often reside in the weed beds

@moebz Месяц назад

Was the 80mm in Tan colour, Thanks

They need to make a larger size / rod, reel and line... Then papa will eat the size your catching...
