Submitted by tommo77 on Sat, 2008-07-12 22:01
i think it is well worth a few casts at the ocean reef rock walls, i went down tonight and in an hour or so i had about 2-3 very solid hits on a weighted mulie as did the guys next to me aswel ..

what rigs
do they normally use there?
i was using a weighted mulie, but the swell is very wild there and the mulie lasted about 2 minutes on my hook before being swept off ... i guess an unweighted would last longer but yeah just wondering ...

Baitmait (the thread stuff)
Baitmait (the thread stuff) might help, but it would depend on how the mulie is being pulled off I would think?

Perhaps, but the
Perhaps, but the baitmate/ghost cocoon/hoisery elastic is quite stretchy from its unstretched lengths (due to how the fibres are arranged), while cotton isnt. So I suspect that cotton might cut into the bait a bit more, but I havent used cotton, and only baitmate once or twice (dont do a lot of bait fishing land based).
Its only about $3 or so
