I will give it a try then.

Thank you
Where were you thinking of giving it a go?
Had a lot of success with both colours. If I had to pick one though would be the red one.
Going to try Half Moon Bay Rocks
The big ones go hard. Hope you get onto some. Good luck mate.

I can remember a session on the big ones where I had double hook ups. A fish on the top hook and one on the bottom hook. Had trouble lifting them up onto the pier.

I am at Half Moon Bay, no bites yet.

I am a little confused, should I be using a sinker on the bottom loop and the paternoster with the surf popper with bait on the hook?

I can not place the white bait on the hook properly with the surf popper

I got onto some nice size salmons today mate.
I’ll put up a report if I have time later tonight but have to drive back from Geelong. See how I go lol.
Did you double the white bait over? Makes it easier to put on the hook then.

Nice work! Hmm I will try doubling it over, it just seems to fall apart easily

Sinker on the bottom then bait on lower hook then just the surf popper on the next hook with no bait.
Works as a lure
