Full product rundown

Practical guidance for storage, rigging and fishing this bait around Perth and wider WA waters.

Freezing and storage

Keep at -18°C or below until use. Thaw only the quantity needed for one trip; do not refreeze after thawing.

Rigs and jigs

Match rig weight to depth and current — lighter for estuaries, heavier for surf or offshore. Present bait naturally near structure or bait trails.

Hook and jig sizes

4/0–7/0 for snapper and dhufish; #2–1/0 for KG whiting strips.

Bait prep and handling

Cut bait to a size the target fish can easily take. Secure firmly with half-hitches or thread so it survives casting and current.

Best conditions

Fish dawn, dusk and tide changes. Reduce lead and leader size when water is clear and fish are cautious.

Where to use in Perth

Reef and gravel marks across WA — Perth metro offshore, Mid West reef structure, South West grounds and south coast marks. KG whiting on deeper sand.

Best target species

Pink Snapper, Dhufish, King George Whiting

How to fish this bait

Strips on paternoster for demersals; smaller strips for KG whiting. Check current demersal closures before offshore trips.

Seasonality and local conditions

Autumn–winter often strongest for snapper — subject to current closures and statewide demersal limits.
