Sabiki Q: - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PE.rider · 07-24-2012, 05:27 PM

Try to have at least a selection of sabiki types and sizes. You never know what you are going to run across and what they are feeding on. Fish can be finicky. I always have a selection of plain lucky luras, ebi-shrimp patterns, and squid-look-alikes. Always go with a heavier leader as the lighter fluorocarbons break very easily.

Furthermore, make sure you have a sinker on the end that is heavy enough to keep the rig vertical. Otherwise, you are asking for tangles if the baitfish decide to do a square dance up and down, resulting in a mean tangle.

Lastly, a sure-fire way to ensure bites is to tip the hooks with squid or shrimp. I also agree with the others who have said that having more hooks is better...
