Hi, I am using Glup soft bait from wharves, I keep losing the swimming tail of the soft bait.

I used to have the same problem, but have fixed it by changing to the zman range. Those things last for ages for me.

Try these, I got given one from one of my customers and its awesome ! Defs had a higher success rate of catching more fish.

I find gulp a big waste of money, used to use them but if there are small fish around you will find yourself using multiple packs in one trip. Also if you leave them on your hook out of the water for a few hours they dry up to a point where they are rigid and unsable. Z-mans have similar (if not identicle) action as gulps, and are 100x more durable, 1 pack (6 baits) has lasted me upto ten trips catching a limit of snapper, have even had the same bait on the same jighead for a few weeks over 3 trips and still catch fish. The curly tails and such do get torn apart a bit quicker than jerk shads and paddle tails but personally I lose more zmans to snags than I do to fish... my 2 cents, plus the fact you don't need to keep them in that stinkin juice alone is enough for me

Amen to that Potty. Bait or livebait the much better option off a wharf.

I would say feel free to try. 

Maybe even try a small ball sinker with a worm hook rig for snag free fishing. Some areas I fish for trevally are well within surfcasting range

Would be interesting to try a slow jig as well.
