So a quick look at some soft palstics that have just come into stock the new Hazedong and the old trust worthy Xlayer. Both palstics are rigged on the bachi head which is the ultimate head for finesse plastic fishing. Really to appreciate just how good these baits are you hae to see them in the water, whilst in jersey myself Cian and Paul where messing about on the dock with a Haze dong on an off set weighted texposer head some small pollock decided they wanted to make friendly with it, unbelievable, they have a fluid subtle motion in the water that is incredibly life like. The French lads swear by these when the bass refuse the Xlayer, if the last couple of weeks have reaffirmed anything for me it is that bass are not always switched on, we saw numbers and i mean numbers of fish over the last big tide but they would not hit our lures whilst on a certain mark. It is at times like this that an ultra realistic bait like the Hazeong would come into it's own.
Having done a lot of fly fishing over the years this new finesse plastic fishing is as close as it gets to fly fishing, the lure presentation is so similar. Indeed it seems that in France there is a huge crossover between fly guys who have gotten into and been completely turned on by finesse plastic fishing. There is a whole range of specialist kit for this type of fishing, I am waiting for the new Injection rods to arrive, not so patiently I might add. I am ridiculously over excited about them at this stage and not sure how much more I can stand. Can you imagine hooking a 6lb bass in shallow water on a 7 2" rod with 15lb braid and 2500 twin power, now that's fishing!
This type of fishing however is available to all lure anglers whilst the above kit might add to the experience and lend itself to better presentation it is not essential, in fact I watched Mr G Hill fish plastics all last winter on a Red Dragon and Hammer some stonking big bass I might add.
