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

Hook and jig sizes

8/0+ for shark; pot bait — no hook required.

Bait prep and handling

Quarter heads for pots if needed; use gloves — oily and messy.

How to fish this bait

Secure in crab pots or fish on heavy gear for shark sessions.
