Bad Shad & GoldRush MinnowZ & Deisel for me.... However, 2.5 Crusteaz (WITH the nippers seperated once out of the pack) in Motor oil / gudgeon / pumpkin have literally caught all of my estuary species in the past few months- Whiting (normal XSsmall jig) flathead , Tailor, bream, Trev, Sole/flounder (all on #1 or #4 gamagatzu home made weedless jigs) For Reference - This is how I make my weedless hooks (exept now I have a more powerful soldering iron & can reuse the lead from rusty old jigheads!!) same principal applies. http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=75160&hl= <$10 weedless jigheads in any size you like! For making certain specialty jigheads like the 'stand up' ones Savage Gear makes I create a mould out of self setting craft clay.
