GUIDE TO SOFT PLASTICS FOR BARRA AND JACKS

WITH plenty of rain and flooded rivers and estuaries, soft plastics and prawn imitations have been by far the most productive lures on barra and jacks.

There are a great variety of options available. Obviously anglers have their favoured lure and soft plastics are no different. Here’s a guide to the most popular and consistently purchased fish-producing styles.

Zman Swimmerz and DieZel MinnowZ: Paddle tail plastics that are made from super tough material to catch multiple fish.

Berkley Hollow Belly: As the name suggests a hollow bellied paddle tail that gives off heaps of vibration and catches fish. Works well in creeks, estuaries and dams.

Gulp Jerk Shads: These soft plastic almost fish-like bait with a strong scent are deadly on all species including barramundi. Ideal in all fishing environments.

Keitech Easy Shiners: A large soft plastic which produces great results in the saltwater and impoundments on big barra.

Squidgy Slick Rigs: Prerigged user friendly product that catches fish.

Zerek or Ecooda Live Shrimp: Both are excellent on all species including barramundi that love them. Available in various sizes to suit all conditions.

Gulp Shrimp: Prawn style soft plastic that catches everything with all the gulp features.
