Flathead are iconic ambush predators that dominate Australia’s estuaries and coastal waters. To consistently catch them, choosing the right soft plastics is key.
🎣 Best Soft Plastics for Flathead:
• Curl Tail
• Paddle Tail
🌊 Why These Lures Work:
Flathead lie hidden along sandy bottoms, waiting to strike unsuspecting prey. Paddle tails and curl tail grubs create irresistible vibrations that trigger their predatory instincts.
💡 Pro Tip:
• In clear water, go for natural colours like motor oil or pumpkinseed.
• In murky water, switch to bright, UV-reactive colours to stand out.
Rigging Tip:
Match your jig head weight to the current. A 1/8 to 1/4 oz head usually works best in most estuary conditions.
