Hi and welcome to the Ace of In YouTube channel. And today we're starting with some of the baits we'll be showing you guys on a weekly basis where runs through some different baits and the basic principles and fundamentals of making baits. Through that you'll be able to develop your own baits, design your own baits and be creative in what you're going to offer the fish. That really makes a difference in your results when you start putting really neat, presentable, the most natural possible baits out there to get the baits. Now today we're going to start off with obvious reasons with the sawdien run around the corner and sawdien probably being one of the most used baits in South Africa. I'll show you how to make some sawdien baits. Today we'll be looking at a hole sawdien bait on a drift trace and look under a rigs if you didn't see that. That's pretty much just a piece of piano wire with a power swivel, masted hook, for from a three or two or five depending what you like. And then I've got a sliding ball sink on the top here. This I fish slowly through the water like a spoon and this is really one of the best methods to catch shade where there's a whole bunch of anglers standing on a rock and you know you're going to get stuck in all those lines and having a proper trace then will just cause frustrations that morning. So you fish a drift trace, this will get you the best results by pulling this slowly through the water like a spoon you just move it, you make sure this tension you'll feel the shade that first bite it gives you you set the hook. If you miss it, you miss real fast again and strike again because what they do is they hit the tail, leave and then go immediately hit again. So if you strike you might miss that second bite if you missed the hook on the first time. So very simple how I'll be doing it. Always frozen bait, frozen sawdienes and that's why I always promote the safari chillers that keeps it nice and frozen for us. This particular bite on this trace I like to keep its stuff. I don't want you'll see as soon as the sawdien starts defrosting it moushes up on your on your trace and then you have to replace it. So to just give it a bit longer life I'll use this a sauté stick, piece of it just to give it that firmness in the body so it doesn't shift up all in one bundle. I cannot do that. I want my hook still fairly loose and free swinging so I'll just measure with the sawdien I'll measure the length. I'll measure the length I'll need for my hook. My hook will sit there so I need very little I need just to day. Okay and that's using the cotton you'll just secure it onto the trace. You can even use a bit of foam if you want. We'll make it easier to tie this and it's tight like this. And over the swivel you're going to use it to secure it. That's where you'll do most of your turns. Watch your hand that the hook doesn't catch it and I just make a knot with a cotton there and there you have it. Now with this particular bite in and in general I cut at least half the tail off because it causes your sautéing to spiral through the water once you pull it. So I cut that piece off and then keeping the sod nice and straight. You can open it in the bottom or the top. The bottom's got all the blood. I'm not going to open it from the bottom because that's the mushy pot once it defrosts. And here in the head it's quite a bit of oil there. You'll see those are the oil canisters right on the foil. That's still nice. Frozen solid. Using the knife I'll get it at least half way or two thirds done. The back here make sure it's a bit deeper for the hook. Now this first thing's first you want your hook in the back. The back is a referred to as tylen in Australia. Heads your bite from the back. A lot of blood in that head. I'll make this stick I measured it wrong. Make sure your measure it right doesn't have to be this long. You want that hook nice and proud like that. And then with frozen bait you use your hand to shape your bait. So with this you close it and you secure it with a cotton. Now that little society stick I've got in sight. Keeping it nice and well presented. Straight makes it lost for more than one cost at least. Should you not get a fish on the first one. As well as secures the bite on the steel that it doesn't move up and down. The flesh of the sodine will catch on to them. And do a couple. You do it like that to make the knot. I put it over my fingers. I grab the tag in through. I drop all the rest and it's underneath and it secures your cotton. That it doesn't go all over the shell. And that's it. Drift bait. You can leave half of that that one spin. But one make your bait spin in the water so you can leave that that of tail. Hook must be proud. Shad comes from behind it hits it. You can face your hook which ever makes you feel more comfortable. You can make it face downwards. You can make it face upwards. Or out the side like this that really doesn't matter. Most probably from a logic point of view. Logic helps a lot. It's facing it to the bottom. We'll keep the weight on the bottom. Also putting your society sticker but lower. We'll kind of keep it straight up. But with this floating through the water like this. Exactly like they do in the sodine right. You're going to get a lot of bites. And that's our sodine drip bait.
