Soft Plastics

What weight would you recommend for fishing with soft plastics in 40+ with 7" macarthy's?

Is 3 oz too heavy or not? Cheers

depends on the conditions, in 40 try use a 2oz, cast ahead of your drift and let it sink, but if its still too quick then you would have to use the 3oz, which is still not too bad, i just go to bait when conditions dont let me use plastics :D

Depends on drift & over 60m I usually leave the plastics for the jigs anyway. Cast up ahead of your drift a bit & if it gets down no prob, if it's racing away then go heavier
