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

4/0–8/0 for snapper and dhufish; #2–2/0 for KG whiting strips.

Bait prep and handling

Firmer than standard squid — score lightly for extra scent. Cut strips to match target species mouth size.

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

Offshore reef across WA — Perth metro marks, Rottnest approaches, Mid West reef structure, Abrolhos grounds and South West offshore.

Best target species

Pink Snapper, Dhufish, King George Whiting, Baldchin Groper

How to fish this bait

Cut into strips for paternoster rigs on reef. Firm texture holds well on long drops and in current.

Seasonality and local conditions

Reef species year-round where permitted. Check current demersal closures — West Coast boat fishing subject to seasonal restrictions.
