    With so many of you chasing snapper on soft plasitics - I was wondering what's your favourite lure and jig head

    Regards Scotto

    The 5" Snapbacks work well and last longer than some of the others around.

    actually I have tried the 5" snapbacks and haven't had a touch on them. Not a squire, tailor, or pike. For mine, the zoom superfluke and salt water assassins in 5" watermelon colour with a 3/0H 1/8 oz jighead is the go. This seems to work well in up to 10 m of water unless the current is really pushing.

    Of course, once you start having some success on a particular plastic, the others tend to get left behind, so that may explain some of my bias here.

    4" power baits ...watermelon or pearl blue depending on the light or 5" super flukes - baby bass works a treat .
    Jig heads , i usually stay around 1/16 in light current shallow water ...1/12 with a slight current , water to 8 metres....if moving in medium water bit more current - 1/6 , if deep water or lot of current - 1/4

    As for jig style , i like the darts
