Scaler bags, what species ?

 I know they work well on sand whiting. Anything else ?

We find them great for squid too.
Quick tow the turn them inside out and head them and tow again. They come out tender and pure white and clean ready to cook

Our issue was not too many as it loaded the bag up and snapped the rope.
By the time we got back we could just see it dissapear into the depths

 Don't put a flathead in there unless you want a ruined bag and chunked up  whiting

 Scaling bags are fairly

 Scaling bags are fairly handy but do find the inner mesh bag doesn’t last too long before getting quite holy . Not sure , whether there’s better quality ones out there other than getting them from you know where .
