Soft Plastic Snapper Techniques

[@Bluewater-fever]

How long does it take for the plastic to hit the bottom because there are some deep reefs but it's hard to get the plastic to the bottom

[@MrGavo1978]

Takes a few minutes in 50-60m where we fish but if the snapper are feeding they're usually 20m off the bottom

Hi. Can you please specify your rod you use for the SP?

[@Camh1968]

Thoughts?

Some great tips. We fish westernport. We are looking to use soft plastic as bait is expensive when you are on a pension. In westernport could you advise if you should drift using a drift sock? or anchor up? With the strong tide flow in w/port can you still use plastics? Are plastics Ok for whiting? Thank you, Brian C

@brian I too fish westernport. Caught fatties in sand using soft plastics, yet to try for snapper. Have a mate who uses plastics and he just swimms them in the current behind the boat with a running ball sinker to leader. Another mate swims them on his paternoster rig, so going to try both

I fish in New Zealand we almost always drift, we use a sea anchor, and cast ahead of the drift
