I'm sold. Any value in a stinger (which I find useful on the 6in jobs) or no need?

Generally no stinger is needed, however if you are fishing for whiting and they are following the lure in and bumping it, a stinger just at the base of the tail will pay dividends!

Used them for the first time last week (pumpkin seed) and caught my first ever whiting x4 at 2 different locations,so they have won me over.Flatties liked them too.

I have a pack in the tackle box now, they just might get a run on Saturday at Somers.
Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

Caught the largest grass whiting on the red & black one. I had actually just left the sp sitting on the bottom not moving it at all.

I fish them differently for different species. The squidgy ones have a nice action when used with the appropriate weight jig head, usually a 2-5gm head on a #4 hook for the whiting, just give it small but firm jigs off the bottom between long pauses. Flatties I use a 3-9gm head and use the burn and kill technique. Trevally I use a 1-3gm head and keep it just up off the bottom hopping it along.

Hope this helps

Cheers
