Note the use of a wire trace so that the flathead can't saw through the line when caught. Pic 2 show white bait rigged for flathead, some with single hook and some employing a small set of ganged hooks. Pic 3 show a nice juicy mouthful of flesh bait by cutting two baits and then putting them back to back, skin to skin, so that the fish feels just soft flesh when it bites and will just gulp the offering down. Pic 4 shows a squid look-alike with a strip of mullet. Note the half hitch on the line securing the head and also giving it a bulbous appearance to look like the head of a squid.
Prawns When rigging prawns to use as bait try to think how they swim when alive.
Don't make the mistake of feeding the prawn on the hook and letting the prawn turn into the shape of a C. Pic 5 and 6 show how I use a bait needle to insert the hook out of the rear of the prawn so still keep its natural shape when fished. You can also apply some super glue to the underbelly of the prawn and then adhere the hook to the blob of glue. This way the prawn lasts longer as its delicate internals are not damaged. The latter method is used by fresh water fishos when using live crickets. Squid Squid are an easy bait to rig.
