Hey Grey

Sounds like a Whiptail to me. Caught my best ever coral trout on one and yep, a hook just behind the head.

Cheers

I saw a guy using one for Cod bait in Moreton Bay one day. He had about four realy nice cod in his bag so they must be good bait, I've never eaten one though.

I haven't eaten one either but the fishing is getting a bit tough when you resort to eating the bait.
