1 Fishing with soft lures (Ripperz or Guzzlerz) requires a completely different approach and way of thinking to the way you fished in the past. In fact so different are the techniques and methods used that you can pretty well forget everything you ever learnt about fishing with other styles of lures as little of it applies to fishing soft plastic baits. Not only will you learn to fish differently, you will start to think differently about your own fishing. You will become more of a hunter of fish rather than a passive catcher of fish. Through the process of fishing with soft plastics you will become a much better fisherman, and find your fishing a lot more exciting, challenging, and rewarding, and as a bonus you will catch a lot more fish than you ever did before. This year sees Atomic expanding into Hard Bodied lures (Hardz). The lure that helped me into the ABT Grand Final the first time I used them. Tim The Bream Morgan Frogleys Offshore Pro Staff
