Re: soft plastics on bass
how are you jassfish,yes soft plastics work great on the bass,sqidgies have had some success lately at boondooma dont know exactly what ones ,the best brands are sliders in smoke yellow core and baby bass colors there are heaps of other colors in this range and they all work at different times.berkley gulps ,atomics ,storm,and there are hundreds of other brands that all work in different dams the hard part is working out which one .practice practice practice and be a sponge around other anglers that use these types of lures,at the moment these lures have been taking a lot of fish dew to the dry conditions and low levels in the dam .good luck cheers AL ps dont be scared to try different things at the moment you will be surprised at what works.

Re: soft plastics on bass
Yeah mate, bass love em. I've caught them on a few different types but the standouts are def 3" grubs in whiskey, pumpkin seed or similar colours. If you are using resin heads your prob better off with minnow styles as they don't have an inbuilt action. With grubs you need more weight than the resin heads to get the tail moving, so you might need some lead.

Re: soft plastics on bass
The squidgey bug with a resin head would be a good surface lure for bass at dawn dusk and night.
During the day you will want to fish deeper so you will need some lead
Bass feed in all depths so try them out and see what works on the day
Have fun

Yes mate the bass love plastics.My PB bass was taken on a plastic.
Unweighted atomic cast into snags while fishing landbased.It went 51cm.

Re: soft plastics on bass
3inch slider grubs on nitro jigheads would have to be one of the most successful combinations for bass. The other ingredient is confidence in the lure. Start using them and stick with them.
