My favourite is the bait or lure that doesn't catch flathead. :tongue:

Caught this flattie tonight on the TT lure 1/2 ounce in Red Nightmare. Took it on the first cast at night, Kerford Pier. ONly this is the paint seems to chip after an outing.

About the only bait that those pestie flaties wont take is eel. Perhaps I should use it more often.

2-4kg rod with 2500/6lb braid/8lb fluro leader with a Berkley Gulp 3" 'Blue Pilchard' stick bait dragged slowly across the bottom as the boat drifts (1/4oz jig head).
Absolutely slaughters em.
They just cant resist it.

Bill.
