I use scum frogs, you can over cast them to the far margin, drag them back into the water,and away you go. Got a box set from America years ago.
Good selection on agm : http://www.agmdiscountfishing.co.uk/lures-soft-plastic-surface-lures-c-39_86.html

Nice link Nixon. What style jig head are you using?
Re: recomendations for a descent weedles surface lure ??
The type of frogs I use don't need a jig head, for their size,they're surprisingly weighty,got great casting ability. A gently flick sees them reaching the far bank. Then with the rod tip held up,give small upward taps to give the frog a slight hopping action. Seeing the wake coming right up behind the lure is fantastic.

Just shop around, I've seen people selling the ones I use for almost a tenner each. Amg= around 4quid a pop.
One thing I'll add, the ones I do use,they also make a popper version,I don't rate these too highly,as where the eye of the hook comes out the front of the lure,it lets a lot of water in,turning your lovely surface lure into a sub surface,which totally kills the action.

i've looked at them many times but my lack of debit card or paypal account makes internet shopping a real b*tch! (although its probably a good thing )

Been there Cabelas was on my list of bankruptcy reasons
I know it's been done on other forums,but should anyone want to make an order from America or overseas,then we could all chip in and order some bits we want. I'm well aware of the shipping costs,and other ways they try to get money out of you on postage.

Me neither! looking forward to getting one though, I know it's not easy but sure it's massively rewarding if you get a take - not to mention scary as hell

Try a slopee pig - had many decent fish on these and the hook up rate is very good.

AGM just got a few quid off me...
BassRat
Green Pumpkin
Watermelon
3 for £10 +£2 p&p
I think that's rather good (if I can find a pike who likes the look of it!)
