Good to see the new soft plastics are up & running on the site here.http://www.ausfish.com.au/softplastics/images/bb1gstTomatoeCorea1.jpg
Can tell you that they are great for many species.
The range should be expanding very soon so stay tuned for more piscatorial prophilactics.

I had a great day on tailor with them a few months back. Chomp chomp, the tailor make a mess of them, but they are pretty cheap and it was a ton of fun on ultralight gear.

I have been useing this range for a while, the number of species i have caught has ben astounding!!
over 20 without a doubt!1 ;D
from Sole to Barramundi!!!
just a fantactic product,the Big Bite rang is clour fast and can be all chucked in the same tackle box,any box as these do not react with anything !!
and uv resisiant!!
i hase a mile of shots of fish caught ,all on slid and will be getting a slid scanner very soon, then i can annoy everyone with all these pic's of fish with BB's hanging out their mouths!!!

The big bites do work pretty damn good, Ive been using them for a couple of months and theyve certainly increased the amount of fish i've been catching. The lumo ones have worked very well at night.

Weirdest thing Ive caught so far has been a flutemouth which grabbed a blue lagoon trippletail.

Broncos were never going to win. Just imagine if they had and Warriors had won aswell. The cockies would have been dirty about that. Hate to do this as an aussie but go the Warriors!! Used the big bites and caught bream and flathead so far. Good stuff.

I too have been useing the BB softies for a while now.They are an excellent product and the only one i will use, swim better than any other plastic in the country strait from the packet and the range is simply huge.

I cannot say enough good things about this product, listening to me yap on will not catch you anything so get out there and get some give them a flick.

i've had a look at the ad.

QUESTION...
Do they come in a plain white pattern?

REASON FOR QUESTION...
I saw 2 blokes on 13/09/02 in a CruiseCraft off Kalinga bank with small spin sticks absolutely braining the flathead with similar softies but they seemed white from about 20m away. It really got me interested. I was into the whiting & they were pulling lizards at a similar rate!! They used an obviously well practiced anchoring technique in the running water & covered a lot of ground effectively & QUIETLY. They let em all go. It left me wondering "Who were those masked men & what were those soft plastics?"

Good to see these Big Bite plastics are now available from Ausfish. I have used them in the past, but could not allways get the colour I wanted. (locally).
The size and colour range available here is extensive.

Hi

The Glow In the Dark (Lumo) is pretty close to white so you could use it if you are looking for white.

Or have a look at the White Scarlet

http://www.ausfish.com.au/softplastics/images/bb1gttWhiteScarlet.jpg

The shads will be up on the site hopefully today, just need to get the pics done. The shads are available in 3 inch and 4 inch

Weirdest thing I saw take one of these was a school mackeral!! Was catching yakkas on them in the thousands for a bit of fun out at currimundi reef when wham! My mate actually landed the thing which was even more amazing..

Maybe someone should cast a soft plastic at pretty boy Bill cause he's definately on the take and NO we weren't beaten by a better side just by NSW rugby leaque and their CHEAT of a referee.

Well....seems as though these frangers have created some interest!!!
As some of you may be aware, Bomber and I have a website that is full of info on how to fish em, photos, and other tid-bits for the passionate franger fisho and the just starting out franger fisho.

We do not sell direct anymore, we have opted to wholesale only. Ausfish sell em at the right pricing and if you are quick, the introductory pricing is a bargain!!!

Check out our site at:

Enjoy!!

Having not used the shads before - wondering if there is a preferred way of rigging??
expose hook through the dorsal area?
expose through the belly??
Does it matter?
Is there a better method to minimise weed collection?
Any hints would be great - looking forward to playing with the little buggers on the weekend!
Thanks guys

Captain Ausfish - picture looks like what i attempted to do - however getting the barb to come out at the right distance so that the rubber lays nice and straight is the challenge!
Rule 1 - do not attempt on small grubs after the tide has gone out of a few brown ales
Rule 2 - try not to explain to your wife what you are attempting to do
- i.e. grab your 3 inch grub slide a hook through it and hope that it still lays well.
For some reason she didn't want anything to do with me if i could'nt get it straight and well laid!!!
Thanks for the pics anyway!
