Sabiki Tricks

Not to hijack the thread, but ...
As a new Revo owner, former FnD owner, trying to deal with space-the final frontier of a Revo owner--I decided not to buy or carry a dedicated sabiki rod. Instead, I use the sabiki rig by clipping it to the hook (ideally the solid ring on a ringed hook) on either one of my 2 trolling rods, make sufficient bait, then unclip the rig and bait up the trolling rod.

Sabiki rig is kept in a zip lock (or velcro lure keeper) with the hooks embedded in a 2 inch piece of pipe insulation foam, so it can be placed anywhere on the deck or gunnel storage in case I want to make bait again.

Flatten the barbs with pliers to facilitate release.

I always cut a 6-hook sabiki rig into two 3-hook rigs, and then attach a snap or swivel to the cut end as needed.

I'm thinking of baiting them--wonder of small strip of Gulp would help? Hate to carry squid or fish parts.
