Hi I am searching for 7" soft stickbaits. I can't seem to find any in SA. I could get them from the States but only want a couple of packets so the postage kills that one. I have tried the online shops but frankly they are mostly terrible- why advertise if you do not have any in stock. The technology exists to link the inventory levels to your website.

I will be using them for salt water so want a faster sink rate but 7" Senkos are not that durable and very pricey. Also, I am looking for more ocean prey colours. Some of the bass colours like pumpkin and cinnamon/copper are spot on for working over reefy areas.

Can anybody help?^^..^^..^^..

Any chance u can post a pic of what u are looking for? We have some well stocked tackle shops around here, but to be honest, I am not familiar with, or at least not sure what a soft stickbait is.

Hi Wortel I use the term soft stickbait ( or soft needlefish) for soft baits like Yamamota Senko's,  El Grande Matchsticks or Yum Dingers. See these articles for how to use them in salt water.

This is an unexplored world for SA rock 'n surf conditions. I think they have massive potential for steenbras and cob ( and other species) as they are slow, have a more natural action and can be rigged weedless for use over rocky grounds, especially when using a weighted swimbait hook. But lots of work still needs to be done though.
