    21 to 28 gram, so that's roughly 3/4 ounce to full ounce. Those weights will work all year round in Northland. Two things differ though to the standard lure presentation that a lot of us use up here. 1: Hook presentation. All my lures the hook is presented at the bottom, not the top. Not saying it won't work though.
    2: Leader tie off point. For drift casting all my lures tie off on the nose of the jighead. I note that all lures presented in the first picture tie off on the top centre of the jighead. Not sure how well they will present. Only one way to find out.
    The second picture, all lures look like light weight surface cast and retrieve. Will work on Kahawai for sure, possibly Trevally too. Snapper, not so much. Be fun trying though.
