I'm keen to give it a shot, wondering if you use cooked or raw crayfish? I know Moki love it, what other fish can I catch with it (and with what method?)
Thank you!

yeah I was curious if raw un cut diamonds or gold flake would work as bait also. Hahaha 

Yeah tail or legs snapped work good as any pipI or mussel Bait.

The oily baits work better as a attractant IMO

Hahaha - I'm a keen (but untalented) spearo, so I usually have significantly more crays in my freezer than snapper. Not so keen on moki, just wondering if snaps love it or if i should rather go with the classics

Yep found ideal in winter fishing on east coast when see the fish but they are just to lethargic to bite.
