Don't think you can tie a multiple hook rig? Wrong, it is much easier than it appears. There are two options when it comes to sabiki rigs – you can purchase pre-tied rigs from your local tackle shop, OR you can make your own. With a little practice and a few valuable tips, you can be well on your way to never purchasing bait again. It is cheap, easy to master, and can be used from a boat, dock, fishing pier, or even the water's edge. Unfortunately, not everyone can throw a cast net with the skill needed. Some anglers think the only way to catch enough bait quickly is to use a cast net. The only valid means of ensuring that your bait is fresh and ready to catch big fish is to find it yourself where you will be fishing. Plus, the bait you get at the local shop may have been in stock for days or longer and sometimes have the tendency to die. But purchasing live bait can be expensive, primarily if you fish a lot. The gamefish you will be pursuing are already searching for- no need to match color patterns, shapes, or actions. The easiest way to do so is the sabiki rig.Įvery successful angler knows there are times when fresh, local caught bait will be the best option and allow for a great day of fishing. For the best bait, you need to catch your own from the very water you will be fishing. Of course, buying bait is both expensive and does not guarantee the bait you buy will be fresh or even local.
