I reckon it should be similar to what I use, I use two hooks and some others use only one, with a pencil float.smokin_reels wrote:Do gars hit a sabiki jig?

Hi mate, that might be the one reason too, another guy told me the same thing yesterday. I just wondering where to get these maggots. where can I buy it? I would rather not leave a piece of meat out there to flies, which may be a bit disgustingpoodoo wrote:Could be your bait as well some days they only take maggots.

just use silverfish, and cast out and slowly wind it back in they will usually hit a moving bait when they not interetsed in anything else normally.
