I've just started fishing 2 months ago, got my self a Shimano Sedona XT 7' 4-8 kg / 5000 and some tackle.
Been out a quite a few time, have only caught a small bream with bait (undersize:() at princess pier a few weeks ago but wanted to get into soft plastics, ive been trying to use them and been researching the techniques but i cant seem to cast out any far than about 1 metre with a worm or curly tail on a 1/8 jig head, i usually just put on a 1 or 2 once weight on a running sinker rig but the plastic doesnt swim properly and ive never got any bites
