When asked, the master responded, when you are going to eat and read the paper, eat and read the paper.

I fish.

Very informative thread. Very cool.

Chris, that pic of bait ball was the best one ever taken.

Credit goes to Holy Mack.

I use the leftover rod handle to stash used sabiki, that sponge. It's got a hole in the middle to push the 2 oz sinker, perfect. 50c at Squidco, lasts for years.

I must say - I only have 12 or 15# test on my sabiki rig.

Fishing for bait setup. Spinning reel, light rod. I like.

I considered something heavier, but then somehow never did switch. I use that rig to cast rubber for checkers in the kelp... when I see them boiling, I like.

its like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get. If your going for bait, use an iron or a spoon for a weight. you never know when a quality fish might be under you. you have nothing to loose. Its fishing!
