I modified my rig slightly. For the past two years, I have not used a sabiki but instead used a double dropper loop set up with frozen anchovies. This set up will only catch you greenback mackerels and not other baitfish.

It work great for 2 years, but this summer it stopped working for a few weeks, probably because I never found the greenies. Others around me kept telling me that they were catching fish on spanish so I decided to change my bait rig.

I still use a double dropper loop set up with frozen anchovies, but I added half of a sabiki rig (three hooks) below the dropper loops. This modification now catches both types of mackerel but mainly greenbacks.
