balooning with live bait for sharks
Submitted by hummeldoddy on Fri, 2012-11-02 11:37
does anyone have experience with live baiting on baloons for sharks?
does the live bait tangle up the rig?
can you advise what rig set up to use?
just new to balooning so any advice appreciated.
cheers

live baits
I would suggest any highly prized table fish as a live bait. They are usually eaten quick smart.

circle hook
I use a fairly big circle hook(9/0, 8/0), with about 6 foot of 150lb wire. usually just put the hook through the back of either a live tailor or herring, never had much trouble with the rig tangling.
