hey jetlag
shrimp hunters work a treat for me in morton bay (brisbane) I shave the weight off and counter balance with a bit of solder wire (easy to bend) around the shaft on the barbs so the jig sinks very slowly.
Most of my fishing is sight fishing and they are fussy and easily spooked , so I always cast well beyond them and then sneek the jig into eye range , if they don't respond straight away I give the jig a little twitch or two and then that gets their attention.
I've found that jigging action would only spook them and the most effective way is lack of action . I've had to perfect a few different ways of catching these sods but once I got my sheet together the results are good.
