Gotcha! Fishing with Soft Plastic Bait in New Zealand
Author(s): John Eichelsheim
Recently there has been a huge surge of interest in soft plastic lures, spurred on by enthusiastic coverage in leading fishing magazines and television programmes. Soft plastics are not new. Artificial lures made from plastic, rubber or similar materials have been around for years. But there's a particularly good reason why soft plastics are becoming so popular: they are deadly on fish. The new generation lures are scented and flavoured; each manufacturer jealously guarding its own secret formulae. They work so well they can be more effective than natural bait - and a lot less messy! Contents: Intro; Why Soft Plastics; Potted History' Better than Bait; Gearing Up for Success; Plastics Fishing Boat; Stealth Fishing in the Shallows; In Deep Water; Alternative Soft Plastics; Fighting Fish; Where to From Here First published November 2007.
