All rounder lures

Post by MasterBaiter24 » Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:00 pm

Hey people!
I'm pretty new to fishing with soft plastics, and I have been having trouble catching anything but flathead. So, my question is can you guys recommend a good minnow style plastic (already have a lot of grubs) that can catch bream and pinkies as well as flathead?
Thanks!

will probs still catch flatties but increase ur chances of catching stuff like bream if u throw a smaller lure. + trying a different area of the same body of water may result in catching different fish.
z-man motor oil grubz have always worked best for me,

Cheers and good luck,
Blake

Gulp minnows in pumpkinseed colour have worked well for me for flatties and pinkies

Yeah, they will. I generally use Size 2, 1 or 1/0 and trim the plastic to fit the smaller hooks for a smaller profile when necesarry (not needed for flathead or pinkies imo)
