Congrats on quality fish!

I was the guy who suggested a new sabiki to you this AM.

Thank you Jimbo, what great advice, although I still don't know why it worked. I had caught so many baits on that rig before, and all of a sudden nada. Whatever, catching that one bait really helped

Very nice last minute fish!! Very nice fish in general, looks like it weighs more than 27!! NICE!

I think that the elasticity of the line on the rigs gets funky after several uses and the rig no longer attracts bait like it used to. Plus some of the paper around the hooks gets torn or removed as time goes on.
I've found that pulling the rig out the rod and hanging it to dry (vs leaving inside the sabiki rod) adds to longevity of rigs.
