Mickyj 3,204 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I landed a small bream on Motor Oil today, but it was also my first in quite some time. Havent tried Water Melon yet but I am keen to pick some up next time I grab some new plastics. They are a darker green than a motor oil with red sparkles . I've spoken to people who say match your hatch motor oil matches bait fish I've landed bream STs on some sparkled zman grubs one never got a hit . Weeks ago I bought a blue shimmer one used it one session nothing but amongst the bait fish I reckon whatever was there was hitting it roughly 12 times . Sometimes you got to think out side the box And the sparkles worked really good fishing the Shadows or cast in a shadow move to the sun into the next shadow bam sometimes lol. And I've got more bream bottom bouncing the zman s rather than the twitch . Got so many donuts twitching One morning five Bream undersized and a small ST Four bream and the ST All landed cast watch the line when it goes slack one or two turns of the reel handle slowly repeat repeat so slow . The bream hit it fantastic as did the ST One twitch when I was leaving to catch the bus a small bream Strange what works I've explained that to plastic fishers I got a polite no you twitch the lure yeah ok !

HB tragic 743 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Time to give those hb's a go again . Regards, HBt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tgreen1 12 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I've found lately the motor oils haven't been working for me down the onka either. Think I might have to go through some of the colours and pick something different. Also find I struggle to get a good feel for the soft plastic alot of the time unless I run a real heavy jighead.
