swansea_fisho Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Gday Raiders, Just curious to see if anyone has used those Sabiki Rigs- the 3 hook paternoster rigs with a bean and a weird looking glow in the dark head. I tried them the other week and they seemed to be a good target for those bloody leatherjackets Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I use smaller sabiki rigs for bait collecting - they work well on most species ie. yellowtail, herring etc. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, yeh those smaller models work wonders on the livies. I saw the bigger suckers in the shop the other day, they're supposed to work well on all the reefies- snapper, mowies, Pearl Perch etc Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big-Banana Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Ive caught all my snapper and mowies on the bigger ones, black magic they are. Spiked with a bit of bait and jigged either with the swell giving action or the operator. Easiest way to get live bait is with the jig I find.

Guest IFishSick. Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I use the small Sabiki 6 and 8 hook rigs for getting little Slimies and Yakkas. They work pretty well I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Soprano Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Do you guys use a sinker on the small jigs when fishing for livies or fish them unweighted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsRule Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Recently ive been catching frogmouth pilchards, baby pilchards and small slimies on the smaller versions. They work dreams sometimes! I have used them unweighted with sucess - esp on garfish!, but tangles become a major issue with no weight. I prefer to use a jig head on the bottom insted of a conventional sinker. Edited October 18, 2007 by KingsRule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloosh Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 ^jst like Rob's sayin, they work a treat for livies. If theres yellowtail anywhere, or slimies, Sabiki Rigs work very well. Over the weekend we were pullin in frogmouths by the three's and fours . I've found that the smaller the hooks size on the sabiki, the more luck ull have pullin out froggies.

Steve07 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Do you guys use a sinker on the small jigs when fishing for livies or fish them unweighted? definately better to have a small split shot at the end of the jig to give it some weight.

jewgaffer Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I prefer to use a jig head on the bottom insted of a conventional sinker. That's a very good idea that one . It gives you a chance to get another hook up on the sinker of your bait jig !!! Jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylo Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) I make my own up by using long shank hooks on 2 or 3 dropper loops and a split shot at the bottom and fished off my rod (can't be bothered using hand reel). Works well enough and does not tangle up because i can add and remove the hooks as I please unlike the jigs where the hooks are (I think) snelled on into a one piece item. Only thing mine lacks is the lumo bead (you could use a knot protector bead) and fury bits that act as a fly to attract the liveys.

Davy Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 never ever tried the sabiki rigs, do these work on poddy mullet as well?? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Soprano Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Cut them in half mate! I've been using cut down one's with 3 hooks and they work great. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
