- One of our most frequent requests from novice anglers is how to make a basic Kob trace that they can use anywhere along the coast. Rudolph runs through a Circle hook version as well as a Jhook setup.

Very nice look at what works and gets the fish in. Thanks!
So glad you raised and highlighted about water reading. So many times I think we over cast over the fish.
2 weeks ago I got a beautiful 80cm kob in Stilbaai on a 2/0 J hook, limited slide, with a short cast (was hunting belman / steenbrass), with moonshine !!?
Thanks for this video and the awesome content.
Hi Rudolph, I want to thank you very much for the informative videos!
I used to live on the coast and love fishing. Due to work commitments and lockdown I have been stuck in Gauteng for some time and spent my spare time watching videos on this channel.
I went down to the coast a while back and had very limited time to fish. Just 1 day. Conditions were not ideal at all and I specifically wanted to target Kob.
I spent a considerable amount of time reading the water and walked for 4km until I found a nice gutter during dead low tide.(followed your water reading tips video)
I felt somewhat confident and used the trace you had demonstrated on this video with a 7o circle hook and dangle. I used a chokka bait as presented on one of the other videos with a bit of sard within and tentacles for vibration because the water was not that clean.
I threw just in front of the back bank in the gutter and went tight within minutes with a 63cm Kob. I kept the 1st one for the pot and managed to catch 4 others during the day between the 50cm and 74cm mark which I all released.
Thank you very much. My day was made! I just had to come back to this clip and thank you.
Sorry for getting back to you so late Joe , this is one of the best messages we could receive from our viewers , the whole reason the channel was started was to share information in order for everyone to experience the true sense of having a successful days fishing. You certainly put in the time and effort to put yourself in the best position to catch a kob by watching and learning, well done on the fish hope the one you kept was lekker on the braai
Ur tips always work. Wish I cud fish with u. Thank u
Simple is good I landed a nice kob with 30cm trace and just a prawn without cotton.
After weeks of tying high tech traces I was humbled with that catch.
Thnx Bru it really helps to keep track
Thanks Rudolph, -

Or hook snood !
Catch a big cob!
!🙂 🎣 _ 🐟 _ 🎣 🙂!
Any time!
Rudolph only the best😍👍
Great lesson. Thank you 🙏
nice cycads to. thanx
Thank you. Can one use a sliding trace ( hook trace fixed to main line and sinker trace sliding) instead of the fixed trace?
Thank you so much
Thanks for the informative video. What is your thought on 3 way power swivels? Quite pricey but the old school swivels have been good enough through the years, so I am glad to see that you are using them. Your opinion?
Thank you for the help will definitely try this trace
Is there any particular time of year to target kob in kzn??
👍✌️
thank you for the video.. Been making my traces All wrong.. I go out on a boat in Langebaan. I have caught a kob on the trace someone else showed me (Round sinker with a long trace 1m roughly) but im sure it was more luck. Would your tackle work for me in the lagoon from the boat ?
not so good for the boat unfortunately
@@SaltwaterFishingSouthAfrica okay.. thank you.
Awesome vid but what size circle was that? 8/O?
Wer n wen cn I target kob n hw do do dy feed????
Is a sliding sinker not better for Kob?
Not necessarily , sliding sinkers help when the conditions are too strong for regular sinkers to hold. but in saying that everybody has there personal preference this is just rudolphs opinion
