Full product rundown
Practical guidance for storage, rigging and fishing this bait around Perth and wider WA waters.
Freezing and storage
Keep frozen at -18°C or below. Thaw only what you need for one session in the fridge or cool esky — never refreeze thawed worms.
Rigs and jigs
Light running-sinker or paternoster rig on a long trace. Keep the bait moving naturally with tide rather than pinning it dead still in heavy current.
Hook and jig sizes
Long-shank hooks #6–#2 for whiting; slightly larger #2–1/0 for bream and flathead. Use fine leader 4–8 lb in clear water.
Bait prep and handling
Keep worms cool in esky. Thread gently — avoid crushing. Note: check current WA restrictions on worm harvesting and bait supply in your area.
Best conditions
Calm to light breeze, rising or falling tide on sand flats and estuary edges. Dawn and dusk are prime for metro whiting.
Where to use in Perth
Sandy beaches from Quinns to Rockingham, especially shallow gutters at first light.
Best target species
Whiting, Bream, Flathead
How to fish this bait
