Used a pink one with three squid last weekend nailed a nannygai, 80 cm grunter spotted mackeral. Worked a treat on the wrecks up here. Found that putting a little bit of bait on workede well. They nibble the bait then smash the jig. Definetly worth the 5 bucks. cant see why they wouldnt work in the bay as you here about plenty guys on ausfish catching fish on plastics.
