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

Now for the Hobie owners. Stevo once made a thread of his new IA and took off the mesh side pockets. Has any else had that problem with sabiki getting stuck on there. I know sabiki gets hook on everything but trying to make things easier for a bait run.

I caught(snagged

) a good size bat ray on a sabiki rig once!
I thought I caught a

or a

!!!!
It was fun reeling it in but I was pretty dissapointed at the end.

I also sqash the barbs down, that way when you get a hook in the finger it comes right out also out of yor clothing.

Some times I end up hooked more with the sabiki hooks that the baits. I've found most sabikis work about the same so now I use the cheapest ones I can find in the smallest size they have. I've wanted to use them cut in 1/2 but I use them at full length with all the hooks. As for handling multiple baits, just do the best you can. 3-5 macks going ape, some in the air, some on the deck, some in your lap, and the empty hooks stuck in your hand. Good times right there.

i removed one side . i copied this off someone else. i wont mention names. ya if hooks get stuck there , you are screwed. i also tried cutting down sibiki, the only bad thing is , if you loose a hook or two , you are now screwed . best thing is to just deal with the cluster hump of 5 macs going ape shet. also a heavy main is good , in the event of a yellow hookup.

. but i wouldnt know , hopefully i will find out before the year is up what it is like to catch a fish.
