    Yes mate they do, all minnow profiles up to 5 inch's, do a twisted main leader with 10lb, thats heaps to have fun with. Be prepared for plenty chewed up and sliced plakkys though.

    Hope this helps

    get yourself some snapbacks if you wanta chase taylor with palstics! I have caught heaps on 3" minows flicking for Bream and flathead and they do chew them up quick > but if you get some 4" even 5" snapbacks and run them with a small amount of lead you will get some and not have to replace the plastic every time you get a bite!!

    Cheers

    Hooked 8 fish only landed 3, they were on the 5"gulp in the sardine and are exellent fighters on 4lb line.

    I dunno about sp-s but certainly like hard bodies and big poppers up to 65 gramms as long as they have some gold in them.I fund the latter is great fun as they jump out when they smash it ,anyway great way if ya bored with slugs and pillies
    cheers

    You risk losing heaps of jigheads if fishing with plastics for Tailor unless you tie a short peice of tiger wire onto the leader.
    You will catch some in the corner of the mouth but most fish just bite you off.
    Cast out and then jerk the plastic back fast and repeat till back at the boat or shore.

    i've found sp's to be highly attractive to tailor but the way i usually know they are about is by getting a strike and retrieving a neatly cut leader.....time to change to a hardbody or metal slug or move. having said that i have landed some nice choppers including a 70cm model in the burrum at easter. i guess sometimes you just get lucky

    Yes, but be prepared to go shopping at BCF again after you sesh. Or wherever you buy your tackle.

    Cheers.

    Twisted leader will solve the money problem with losing jigheads, I do it with 10lb, problem is, that I usually lose one jighead first then realise that I need to change. Never no when I'll hook into a Tailor, lately its been often though.

    Two weeks ago my deckie for the day was pretty chuffed with the two he is holding in the left hand. But he has huge farmers hands so they are actually bigger than they look.. Caught on Electric Chicken 4" snapbacks as a bye catch to snapper around Mud island.

    Hooked up to a few bigguns off Redcliffe with the Zoom Super Flukes (4 1/4") plastics. Just cast them into the school, and twitched them out at a pretty quick pace.

    I've wondered whether tailor would have a go at a gang and sinker with the foil from a chip packet hanging over it.

    I suppose there would be times when they'd chomp on a bare hook and other times when they wouldn't even take a livey.
