Greetings all!
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to rig up cutbaits for green back tailor. There's a few being caught around Ballina at the moment and I would like to give them a shot.
What size baits do I use eg for bonito or mullet?
Do I use 4/0 or 6/0 and do I attach them to heavy mono or wire? (One guy I talked to recommended using about 8cm of wire so that it could be hidden inside the cutbait.
When passing hook and mono/wire through bait how many times do I do this and how do I stop the bait clumping around the hook?
Any chance of attaching a photo of a rig before and after baiting?
Does anyone use salmon for cutbait? There are plenty around at the moment and are too much like cardboard to eat.
Will tailor or jewies take salmon? (Caught my first ever jewie last week at 7kg.)
Any info would be a great help.
Best regards, Rob.
