Rigging & bait tips
- Snell it for the cleanest presentation—especially on strip baits and pilchards.
- Use enough leader stiffness to stop the bait spinning; a half-hitch around the bait can help.
- For bigger baits, step up the size and keep your points exposed for instant penetration.
From beach gutters to boat bait rigs, this octopus pattern is a ‘do‑everything’ fishing hook that earns its spot in the tray.
