Hi Steve. It’s only 3m of water and with a 40g jig head it gets down the the bottom pretty quick. But agree re getting to bottom first.Posted 2026-09-22 · checked 2026-09-27 · Unverified personal experience
I notice you seem to fish the lure high up in the water, where I tend to hit the smaller fish. Not sure your depth of water there, but do you ever hit bottom first?Posted 2026-09-22 · checked 2026-09-27 · Unverified personal experience
Thanks dude. White all day long. What about the white lures with red jig heads? So many patterns seem to have that for some reason. But it’s weird. No fish resembles it but it still catches. Maybe another test for me to do.Posted 2026-09-21 · checked 2026-09-27 · Unverified personal experience
Hey man. Thanks for your observations. The lures were identical apart from colour. All same size. The 40g Ebbrox Titan Shad. Water clarity wasn’t perfect which might explain why white won?Posted 2026-09-20 · checked 2026-09-27 · Unverified personal experience
