Full product rundown

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

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

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.

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

Thaw slightly before use for easier handling. One log per session is usually sufficient — the sardine content creates a rich, persistent trail.

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

Anchored boat sessions over reef, gravel and channel edges across WA — Perth metro offshore, South West grounds and Mid West marks.

Pink Snapper, Herring, Tailor, Skippy

Place whole log in a burley cage for slow release, or break into chunks for faster dispersal. Fish bait rigs in the scent trail.

Year-round; strongest demand for reef sessions in autumn–winter snapper season.
