Full product rundown

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

Freezing and storage

Store frozen solid. For best presentation, thaw overnight in the fridge or in sealed bag in cold water just before fishing.

Rigs and jigs

Small ball sinker running freely to the hook, or a light paternoster for jetty work. Fish the bait slowly through the water column near bottom.

Hook and jig sizes

#6–#1 for whiting and bream; #2–1/0 for skippy and flathead.

Bait prep and handling

Smaller than river prawns — use whole for best presentation. Change bait when colour fades after soaking.

Best conditions

Light chop on metro jetties, river mouths and sheltered inshore marks. Works well on morning flood tides and overcast afternoons.

Where to use in Perth

Metro jetties, river edges, estuary flats and sheltered inshore marks.

Best target species

Whiting, Bream, King George Whiting, Flathead, Skippy

How to fish this bait

Use whole on light paternoster or running sinker rigs. Peel tail for extra scent if fish are finicky.

Seasonality and local conditions

Year-round effectiveness; strong results in winter–spring whiting runs on calm mornings.
