    Default Jewfish - What lures/plastics are good?

    Hey all, as the title suggests I'm after some hints to help with what lures or plastics seem to work best for jew? As I'm looking to target them in the coming weeks!
    Cheers Ben

    I'm not sure if Danners is a member here but he makes a threadybuster vibe that seems to work wonders on Jew. I'm sure Someone would have contact info for him

    Having only caught a few jew myself but also talking to other people about this and each person has said a different plastic. Really if the Jew are there and hungry they"ll eat your plastic. Few plastics that have worked for me are, 100mm squidgy fish, 5-7" gulp flick bait and the gulp shrimps.
    To much water to fish and not enough time......
