Why 1/4 oz? You said you were only fishing in a couple meters... I thought 1/8 or 1/6 would have been more suited?

[@tackletacticstv7687]

Hey @davidraguse2106, You could definitely fish a 1/8oz or 1/6oz, especially if the fish were finicky and you wanted a slower fall. Sometimes we will up the jighead weight to handle varying conditions such as tidal flow or making a longer cast in windy conditions. Also if we have a short window of time to fish an area and the fish are active, a heavier jighead allows us to fish faster and cover more water. Adjusting jighead weight can be one element of 'cracking a pattern' and getting a consistent bite. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin

Who sells the finese Shad’s, thanks.

[@tackletacticstv7687]

Hey @peterclose1530, hope all's well and you're finding a fish. The Finesse ShadZ are a new addition and finding their way out to stores. I see that that stores that have a major online presence have stock, so a Google search will bring up a few online options, however you can also order them directly from your local ZMan stockist using the codes on our website. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin

Hey Justin the gloves where do you get them few skin cancers on hand from kayaking /fishing for many years black mamba love my set of rods itx reels 😊

[@tackletacticstv7687]

Hey @andrewlangton6570, Good to hear your ITX / Black Mamba combos are doing the job, love them! I have run a bunch of different gloves over the years and they definitely help when it comes to the sun. I have found that a snug fit is important, so that you don't even notice you're wearing them when fishing. The pair in this video is from Sun2Sea UV Protection. Cheers, Justin
