How do i fish with Cuttlefish why is it so good
If the cuttlefish is small you can fish with it whole with very little preparation,if you have a larger way the best way is to pull the head off then push the bone up and turn the cuttlefish inside out,simply remove the white flesh and cut into strips the size suitable for the Hooks/fish you are going for ,the guts can be thrown into the sea as a attractor too,watch out for the black ink sack in the cuttlefish as it can stain your hands black,after a bit of practice its simple and worth the effort
Why is Cuttlefish so good as a bait ?
Cuttlefish is good for bait as its a natural very juicy scenty bait which,Cod and Bass etc find irresistable
Fresh or Frozen a great allround bait
What Rig is Best for Cuttlefish
Cuttlefish, the best rig is a Pennel Rig set up 2 hooks close to each other allowing great bait presentation , Kamasan hooks or,Sakuma hooks and Mustad offer a great range of hooks .Either from the shore or boat if using a larger bait with 3/0 to 8/0 hooks being used depending on bait size etc ,Smaller strips of cuttlefish can be used for whiting wrasse and a multitude of other species. on smaller hooks even down to a size 6 if the bait is presented right.
A Pulley Pennel rig from the shore using a 3/0 and 4/0 at the bottom is my favourite rig to use with Cuttlefish
