[quote name='flounderpirate' post='8150' date='Feb 13 2007, 08:25 AM']Whatever happened to the 'Garfish on softplastics' endeavor?[/quote]
I was lucky enough to catch 3 gars on SP during my last session in Melbourne before moving up here. I had caught a few on bait earlier in the day, and decided to try the plastic again - and they couldn't get enough of it. My hookup rate was very poor though, I reckon only about 1 in 4 gars that grabbed the SP actually hooked up, and not all of those stayed hooked. I was using a 1/42 oz #8 jighead (even though it was tiny, it was probably still too big!), and a cut down Berkley 1 inch Power nymph <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />
