How to rig bait for gas ballooning?
Submitted by tomtom on Tue, 2015-05-19 19:52
Hey all, heading to Quobba in a couple of weeks. Have never fished anything like it before and struggling to find any tutorials on rigging bait for skip baiting specifically for gas ballooning. I can find lots for trawling but not sure if this is the go for gas ballooning? Guessing for the lower speeds something different and maybe quicker will be suitable.
Any tips or links to how to's would be awesome!

Just spoke to a guy in the
Just spoke to a guy in the local tackle shop. He suggested 1 hook coming out of the anal passage, single strand wire through the body up to the head with a loop in the end. Another hook through the gill plate and out through bottom of fish so eye of hook is lined up with loop in single strand sitiing inside mouth of bait fish. Then thread multi strand wire through head picking up loop in single strand and eye of hook. Crimp this together to form a loop going through head.
Anyone ever used this method? Pro's and cons of both?
