Practical guidance for storage, rigging and fishing this bait around Perth and wider WA waters.
Keep at -18°C or below until use. Thaw only the quantity needed for one trip; do not refreeze after thawing.
Match rig weight to depth and current — lighter for estuaries, heavier for surf or offshore. Present bait naturally near structure or bait trails.
6/0–10/0 for shark and large mulloway; 3/0–5/0 for tailor.
Score fillets to release oil; use fresh leader after prolonged soaking.
Fish dawn, dusk and tide changes. Reduce lead and leader size when water is clear and fish are cautious.
