I have been saving up for ages (on $10 a week:rolleyes: )
and finally i have $100 to start my Soft Plastics collection.
But I dont know what to get so Im asking you what you would spend $100 on if you were starting a soft plastics collection (including jig heads).

thanks in advance for any info.

i haven't caught a bream on sp's yet but the follows and bream hitgs i have, have only come on muscy sliders and 2" amber fat grubs. I think most will say that as a starter use natural colours. Pumpkin seed, watermelon, motor oil and red seem to be the faves of most people here. as for jig heads most will agree when i say gama's are the best. they are so sharp that the first thing i caught on an sp was a blue swimmer crab that i hooked in the shell!(probably luck cause i hooked him in the back)

Mate, dont buy Gama's.
You will get a couple of packs and then you are out of both money and Jigs....:eek: And then you will be hooked on Gamma's and the withdrawals aint pretty!

For a beginner I would recommend Squidgy heads, you'll get more bang for your buck and they will catch the same fish.

Warren will supply you with the rest, he has the best site on the web for Bream gear.
As said above, stay with the natural colours and you will be alright
;) red fleck in any plastic is the go;)

True Bassifier, I forgot about the jigs/learning thing.
We've got squidgy heads in the new online store that's going live tonight.

I'd probably go one step further and suggest you even look at some of the cheaper heads for around $5-$6 a pack.

BS, I like Warrens selection, but I think I'd sub out the white sliders and get some Bassmaster motor oils instead. And maybe size 4 hooks not #2.
