Whole fish bait
Available variants
Wogs 1KG — 1kg
Whole frozen bonito (wogs) — a high-oil baitfish with excellent scent trail. Used whole or cut for crab pots, shark rigs and heavy surf setups.
Earlybird Bait is wholesale only. Find a nearby retailer or apply to stock our range at your store.
Practical guidance for storage, rigging and fishing this bait around Perth and wider WA waters.
Keep at -18°C or below until use. Thaw only the quantity needed for one trip; do not refreeze after thawing.
Match rig weight to depth and current — lighter for estuaries, heavier for surf or offshore. Present bait naturally near structure or bait trails.
6/0–10/0 for shark; 4/0–6/0 for mulloway; pot bait — no hook required.
Very oily — use gloves when cutting. Quarter for pots; steak-cut for heavy surf rigs. High scent output draws fish from distance.
Fish dawn, dusk and tide changes. Reduce lead and leader size when water is clear and fish are cautious.
Offshore marks, crab grounds and heavy surf beaches across WA — Perth metro deep marks, South West reef and north coast.
Shark, Crab, Mulloway, Tailor
