I'm no expert but from what I know, grasses get their name because they're mainly vegetation eaters. Underwater plants and the like are their staple.

This in mind, maybe baits that are very much different in smell than the vegetation? Maybe tougher baits too as the plant food will naturally be softer.

They'll go for natural resident molluscs too, so maybe avoid anything that is similar in taste and smell there also.

Sadly, I've found that to be true. Our Big US grassers seem to especially like tigers.
I hate the things, fight like 40+lb bream until they go in the net!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
