Kev,

Looks like you will need some heads to suit the tails you have.

Its all a new learning experience and unfortunatly YES it will lead to more spending on tackle.

The kids also got me some yellow, orange and red heads of different sizes/hooks.......they have eyes on them. The Tsunami holographic and the squigy fish I've got, are already weighted and hooked. The thing is, many of the heads seem too light for where I fish in the Pin when the tide is running, even if use lighter line as do those already weighted......am I simply fishing in the wrong places with them......I seem to catch alright on my baited (heavier) tackle.

cheers

Kev, You need to make sure you have enough weight to get down to the bottom, just like when you fish with bait.....

Drevil, The pink squidgies, Killer Tomato, are a flatty special, they just love them.....one place I go at Sandgate, that and the 24 carat is all I use on them

Re the Pink Squidgies. Surprisingly I've used them up at Wivenhoe Dam and have caught nothing but Tilapia on the 2" pink Squidgies. When I told the Ranger that he couldn't believe that we actually caught Tilapia on SP's. But I can tell ya they work a treat, particularly late in the day.

Will be heading back to Wivenhoe in July and look forward to hooking more Tilapia's and helping reduce the noxious pests.

i think they are a trial and error thing
if one isnt working try another i used a bloodworm on the weekend and had some fun with some small lizards
but keep trying them
great fun

I also bought a 2 pack of jigs with eyes painted on them, meant to look like a little squid I guess. They are painted red & yellow, but I'm not sure how to use them. I'm thinking maybe verticle jigging rather than retrieving? I'll see if I can post a pic in the next few days.

Kev,

try the SPs with the weight they came with first. Too much weight will kill the action. You might need a bigger tail to take a heavier weight in some of the deeper or faster flowing spots. They do work really well though - just use a nice slow retrieve to bounce it along the bottom.

Now we know that Tarpon are suckers for Squidgy's and SP's in general and this one isn't bad at 53cm BUT

[SNELLY]

What type of Squidgy would you use on one of these ?

[cHiCo]

hook a tarpon to the end of a 80mm model and have a bit of fun with the big fella
