Hi

I am getting really interested in fishing soft plastic lures but I am also aware that the methods of using them is not simply chuck and retrieve. Can anyone tell me where I might find information on techniques of fishing with soft plastic lures either online or books ?

Thanks

Hi Jim

It was in fact the thread started by RJ in Nov 2007 'Soft Plastic..... Rigging, Application,& Presentation' that got my interest up. Was that the thread you are referring to ?

Can't remember how I came across it but it was a fascinating thread, but as a consequence I have loads of questions :roll:

One of my questions is perhaps something you could answer ? If I have understood correctly you are using very light weights when fishing soft plastics (?) If this is the case then is there not a consequence on casting distance i.e. are we now talking about limited casting distances of up to maybe 20 mtrs max ????

Thanks for that JFC. Unfortunately however if I click on that link I am simply told:

Last I heard was that Joe had gone back home to Malaysia but I think Ritchie might still be in contact with him, so he'd be the guy to ask.

That's a great thread by Joe though it has to be said and I must admit that it really opened my eyes to the world of soft plastics, lots of useful information in there and tbh I'm a little surprised that it isn't stickied.
