Hey guys I've just bought some new blades, one of them is all black and the other is silver with a brown and gold head. I'm just wondering how to use them around docklands, any tips will be appreciated :a_goodjob:

I caught the snapper on a pier near wattle road. I recommend using soft plastics :cheers:
