Full product rundown

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

Freezing and storage

Keep at -18°C or below until use. Thaw only the quantity needed for one trip; do not refreeze after thawing.

Rigs and jigs

Match rig weight to depth and current — lighter for estuaries, heavier for surf or offshore. Present bait naturally near structure or bait trails.

Hook and jig sizes

3/0–5/0 gang hooks for tailor; 6/0–8/0 for mulloway and shark.

Bait prep and handling

Already filleted — trim to target species size as needed. Score skin side for extra oil release. Vac pack variant stays fresher in the esky.

Best conditions

Fish dawn, dusk and tide changes. Reduce lead and leader size when water is clear and fish are cautious.

Where to use in Perth

Surf beaches, deep gutters, river mouths and groynes across WA — Perth metro surf, South West beaches and south coast river mouths.

Best target species

Tailor, Mulloway, Shark, Crab

How to fish this bait

Rig fillet strips on gang hooks for tailor or chunk on circle hooks for mulloway. Pre-cut saves time on the beach.

Seasonality and local conditions

Strong in autumn–winter surf and river mouth night tides across WA — same appeal as whole mullet with less prep.
