How to Catch fish with SABIKI.

To catch fish such as mackerel, herring, smelt and Spanish mackerel, use a 6 to 9-hoot light action rod with a spinning reel. Tie the SABIKI rig to the line and attach a chum cage to the end.

The best chum is frozen krill, but when it is unavailable, try minced squid or possibly pet food. Remember to use plenty of chum at all times. Quickly drop the rig into the water to the depth of the school of fish. Slowly lift up the rod tip, allowing the chum to scatter downward; then rapidly lower the rig into the now dispersed chum and into the mouths of the frenzied fish below. Repeat this motion several times. If you still do not get hit, reel in your line, refill the chum cage and try again. Once you have a fish on, remember to wind up the line slowly in order to prevent tearing the hook from the fish's mouth, as well as to retrieve more fish. This slow reeling in of the line is the key to successful SABIKI fishing.

Hayabusa also offers SABIKI lures for larger game fish, such as yellowtail, halibut, barracuda, bonito, sea bass, grouper and rockfish. To catch yellowtail, barracuda, bonito and sea bass, attach our modified chum cage filled with whole shrimps or small squid on top of the SABIKI rig. Let the rig drift in the current until you experience a hook up. For bottom fish rigs, specifically dressed hooks can be enhanced with various cut bait.

Whatever type of fish you chose, Hayabusa offers the most complete selection of SABIKI lures!
