Troll Soft Plastics?
Submitted by Lavs on Mon, 2012-10-15 14:23
Just wondering if anyone has ever trolled with soft plastics and had any success? I cant see why you couldnt but looking around it doesnt seem to be common practice?

Trolling
Hey mate I've tried before and got one good hookup I didn't land the fish but that proves that it works I guess

Well i know it isn't
Well i know it isn't trolling, but when up north we'd rip the softies back as fats as we could to stir up some pelagics, so if you trolled (stickbaits)
and just gave the rod some wobble as you went along you'd be bound to get a few.
Give it a go I'd be sure it'd work, just remember you'll need some really heavy jigheads to keep the plastic down

When I was living in dawin it
When I was living in dawin it was fairly common practice. We landed a few Barra on them. We found trolling as slow as possible and working the hell out of the plastic with the rod was the way to go.
I live with fear every day... sometimes she lets me go fishing.

I've trolled soft plastics
I've trolled soft plastics out the back of my mates tinny at rotto around the natural jettyu get Huge Tailor,and trolling you get herring around the mourings at rotto, and a 15-20kg+ sambo chased it. Mind you the soft plastic was only 5cm long!
Fishing and catching are two different things. But i want to learn how to catch.
