Bigger soft placcies and the dreaded blowie

[Becker_11]

Hi

I'm thinking of heading down to point walter with a mate chasing flatties, he's using river prawns on a patternoster rig and I was going to try the larger 70-100mm squidgy fish on regular jig heads, but I was wondering about the blowie problem.

Is it a case of being bigger they will last longer or will they still get mauled and basiclly be no good ??

Would like to hear your opinions

I find in the east blowies are less inclined to have a go at larger plastics. When they do decide to however, they will go for the tail and don't have too much trouble biting them off. I expect your psycho Western blowies will be even more destructive.

i dont think big plastics will get effected much by blowies because their mouths are too small to eat them. the big squidgy fish won't be effected much from my experience

You'd be surprised on just how big a plastic a blowie will have a go at. Personally, I don't think it will make much of a difference.

yeah the blowies will have a go anything
ive had an 80 mm squidgy fish destroyed and bass minnows eaten completely off the hook by the little bastards.

Thanks for the replys guys, I'm going to give it a go for the experience if nothing else, will have to get a prawnstar or something to tie on if the blowies get too bad.
