Hey mate, awesome video! What pound leader and what length of it do u run to your wire trace and how do you connect the leader to the wire? Also, how do you connect the wire trace to the lure? Thanks mate🎣
Traditionally pro mackerel guys would run straight mono in about 30lb with the same connection I’ll mention in a second. What we were using is braid either 50-80lb with long mono leaders 3-5m long to give some shock absorption from their staggered lunging runs down to a snap clip for quick changes to the lures. The lures have pre rigged single strand wire in 69lb with haywire twisted ends, one connected to the lure the other either left as a loop or connected to a solid ring to connect to the snap clip. Problem’s that can arise from the clip and solid ring is if the fish breaks the surface the connections can pull a bubble trail underwater triggering another mackerel to bite the area the bubbles are coming from. Doesn’t always happen but is a possibility. That’s pretty much it mate, hope that helps.
Bottom bashing, how boring is that, trolling is where it is at, the scream of the reel and a bit of angling needed to wind them in! Lol! Good vid again!
Another awesome video mate!
Cheers mate.
Good one mate 👍👍👍👍
Cheers mate 👊🏻
Sad you have to go 70 NM offshore to get mackerel now. Used to get them just off the headland 30yrs ago.
Still plenty out there mate and I’m sure they’d still cruise past the coastline at times.
Hey mate, great vid! I was wondering how far back you troll those shallow divers?
Cheers 🎣🤘🏽
Oh it’s probably about 25-30m mate.

Cheers mate, wind em in them they bleed everywhere. Great sport fish 🤣
Nice vid, k-pop approved😉
That’s all I can ask for mate 😉
Looks like fun mate how big was the one you lost estimate?
Stuffs me but from what we got it would have been a bit bigger, maybe nudging 20kg mate.
how is your speed for hard bait lures?
Bibbed minnows will typically troll at about 7 knots mate.
@@LiamFitzpatrick thanks, definitely I'll give it a shot.
Your cute… ❤
Yeah but that’s life brother. Some of us got it a some of us don’t.
