That is quite a task on a sabiki! You've got some skills to keep the hook from bending/breaking. good job!

I like to think that using a lead head for weight is added insurance for those pesky bycatch....

It took me breaking two promar sabiki rods to figure out that light tackle ain't the way to go when making bait.

All the big fish I've hooked by a sabiki are all very vivid in my mind for some reason. Maybe its because of the sinking feeling I got each time that told me I had no chance

Killer fish, bitchin story

Whats up with the 8 oz torpedo

trying to hit the bait in the head and stun them

Never landed any sabiki fish.........amazing catch!

I am sure that it does not compare to hooking a WSB on a Sabiki but it gets a little interesting when a school of bonito zeros in on your bait setup.

I had three on at one time once. Imagine a bunch of slimy two pound fish flopping around the yak while the sabiki hooks that did not have fish on them are flying all over the place trying to find a place on your body to sink into.

No fun.
