Cut bait
Available variants
1KG — 1kg
Vac Pack 1KG — 1kg

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.
3/0–5/0 gang hooks for tailor; 6/0–8/0 for mulloway and shark.
Already filleted — trim to target species size as needed. Score skin side for extra oil release. Vac pack variant stays fresher in the esky.
Fish dawn, dusk and tide changes. Reduce lead and leader size when water is clear and fish are cautious.
Surf beaches, deep gutters, river mouths and groynes across WA — Perth metro surf, South West beaches and south coast river mouths.
Tailor, Mulloway, Shark, Crab
Rig fillet strips on gang hooks for tailor or chunk on circle hooks for mulloway. Pre-cut saves time on the beach.
Strong in autumn–winter surf and river mouth night tides across WA — same appeal as whole mullet with less prep.
