Hi Guys,
Does anyone have or knows where i can get an illustration of how to tie up a Sardine Belly please and what has the smallest size hook to use with this trace.
Thanks
Hi Kingfish,
Firstly, always tie your bait according to the fish you going to target. Majority of my baits for edibles are no bigger than 6-7cm. In this game, having a smaller more shapely bait is the diff of getting a pull or a few simple tugs and then maby a pull. Too many people are under the impression that big baits catch fish. While diff conditions and locations may differ from that statement, on our coast.... its been proven time and time again.
Weeds` diagram is perfect. As stated by Raggieman, that combo is any scratches delight. This combo esp when drenched in a sard heads blood, is deadly in discoloured water or at night for reef fish.
We up and about in the Durban area every so often, watch the kzn thread for details. Will be cool to meet up and go wet a line.
