What line do you use for paddle tail swimbaits?

Line – Fluorocarbon is the most popular line choice for swimbaits. Use the heaviest you can get away with based on water clarity. Usually, 12- to 17-pound test will work for mid-sized swimbaits. For jumbo baits, some anglers use 20- to 25-pound-test fluorocarbon or monofilament.

The main purpose of paddle tail swimbaits is to mimic a baitfish swimming through the water, a very natural presentation. Matching the hatch or using a color of bait that matches the color of the natural baitfish, is key when using swimbaits.

What is the best bait for mangrove jack?

Live bait is best, and locally live whiting, silver biddies and poddy mullet work well. To gather these you will need a cast net, if you don't know how and where to use one we can show you on our mangrove jack charters. See the bottom of this article for more info.

How do you attract tarpon?

All Tarpon will take dead baits, such as a Mullet head or half Mullet, fished patiently on bottom. For trolling or surfcasting with heavier gear, large jigs, spoons and lipped plugs get the call. Generally, casters enjoy the most success with swimming plugs, jerk plugs and surface plugs.

How do you catch a weakfish in surf?

Some of the best artificial lures you can attach to your best fishing line when weak fishing include small bucktails, soft-plastic swim shads, epoxy jigs, Z-man swim baits, Berkley Gulp, and diamond jigs. The best artificial plastic you can use with your baitcasting rod is the jelly worm.
