Simple soft plastics by Dave Magner

With all the high-tech soft plastic articles doing the rounds at the moment, you could be forgiven for thinking that you need a science degree and a second mortgage to get into it.

The good news is, there is a simple way to fish soft plastics that anyone who has ever thrown a hard-bodied minnow can do with a good chance of success. Best of all, you don't need to spend your hard earned cash on new outfits as long as you have a half decent baitcasting or spinning combo.

I'm talking about tossing jighead rigged soft plastic shads. This approach is about as simple as fishing with soft plastics gets but don't be fooled, it's a great way to target everything from flathead to barra, bass and mangrove jack...
