Scrubbies are great for bream in the rivers and piers, zebra fish and luderick also think they are tops. Meanwhile they are a top bait off the rocks and over reefs for rock species, especially sweep.

Mullet and grass whiting also hammer em.

Sadly true scrubworms are so expensive.

Flat tails, night crawlers, reds, blues, tigers can still take the same species, but they get sucked off the hook too quickly, and they lose colouring if the bite drops off, but still a top bait.

Scrubworms are great bait for fresh water, but I had no luck with them in salt water. They turned white & hard. have not caught any fish in salt water with scrubbies.
