Full product rundown

Practical guidance for storage, rigging and fishing this bait around Perth and wider WA waters.

Freezing and storage

Keep dry product sealed and cool. Premix can be frozen in blocks; thaw before use and mix to a damp (not wet) consistency.

Rigs and jigs

Not fished on a hook — use a burley cage, pot or steady handfuls from the boat. Pair with light bait rigs in the same zone.

Hook and jig sizes

N/A — use with your target species hook size on the bait rod.

Bait prep and handling

No preparation needed — use dry from the bag. Crush a few pellets by hand for a faster initial scent burst.

Best conditions

Anchored sessions over reef, gravel or channel edges with moderate current. Most effective when tide is moving.

Where to use in Perth

How to fish this bait

Load a burley cage or scatter small handfuls regularly. No mixing required — use straight from the packet.
