sabiki questions

[GregAndrew]

I leave all the hooks on my sabiki. For fast moving bait schools, I want to get as many as I can when I find them. I also use a tool like this to quickly remove them.


Hold the tool upside down from how it appears, then pull your line down through the slot until the bait/hook catches the loop then a quick pop with both hands releases the bait. Essentially it holds your hook upside down.

I swear I thought that was a tampon before I read that post.

Exactly, you want to get the maximum amount of bait when you can, especially when the bait is scarce. Hopefully you can deal with 5 or 6 sardines or macs at the same time otherwise you might be in trouble.... When unhooking I'll unhook from bottom to top.
