Most of our bait is fresh KY/ mullet/ trev cought, filleted/ pre cut, salted and frozen or just frozen. Havent brought pillies or squid etc for many yrs now. No not our hooks or SB...we caught it on a strayline re curve bottom hook |

When they can get anywhere near the durability, movement and not dry out in 15min on a hot day, then I may consider trying a packet. Until then I eagerly look forward to schooly season and trying to break my own pb of 29 solid snaps on one electric chicken 4"streakz. Went thru 3 jig heads that day(crushed or opened gapes) and when I finally lost it, it was like losing a member of the family. And 20 odd fish on one is not uncommon. Show me a bio that can do half that on a regular basis and I may reconsider. And yes I do still miss my "single use plastic bags"!! |

On line, braid getting bust offs snagging ,kontiki's getting stuck and breaking off, hard to avoid, but on a whole most of us respect our Oceans and bring our rubbish home from a day out fishing in NZ. We only have to look at our nearest neighbours in the Islands how bad the polution is. A recent trip to Fiji i went out from Sikatoa on a charter. Had to drive a few K's on a road next to Mangroves to get to boat. This was there dump where the manly plastics a metre thick went up and down with tide. Couldn't believe it yet so close to us. |
