What I want to make now is the trace that I use to catch COD. It's literally using glow-in-the-dog foam, identity-all, soft, six-in-dolph, there's another that I personally prefer the identity, it makes more noise when you're using the Rack-O. Now what I'm trying to achieve in our make this bait is first it's a very visual bait, second of all it works on the lateral line of the COD and the rattles that you use make a very loud noise, a very loud clacking noise which definitely over the years has been proven to attract COD. First of all these are the items that I'm going to use 19 to 20 kilo line and again a very soft supple line is very important it gives a bait a lot of movement in the water. Rattles these are little gloss rattles again you can hear it makes it is actually not very loud when you hear it here but listen to it when I actually put it into foam listen to how much louder this noise actually is. What I'm doing is basically forming the foam first before I do anything else I just want to form it to the shape that I wanted to be and the size that I wanted to be. That basically for a COD is the ideal size. Now I'm targeting COD in the 4 to 10 kilo range. If I'm targeting a bigger COD obviously I'll be using a bigger piece of foam, bigger retles, bigger hook. A prefers the 80 mustard, soy hook because it's offset and it's solid in color. Now it's very important that you try and mimic the bait that you are using and because we're using chocka, a solid hook definitely works better than a black hook. Make the trace, figure of eight. Take a piece of nylon and again it's only three times around. One, two, three times. There is my figure of eight. I'm going to slide it down now but I'm not going to pull it tight yet. What I'm going to do is a little trick that I've learnt over the post is make what they call a little wishbow at the end here. I'm just taking a piece of nylon, a thicker piece of nylon. I'm now going to stick it in there by the eye of the hook and pull it out. So basically that's what it looks like. I'm going to cut off the tag and cut it down a bit more. Basically what I've done is I've put a little bit of a, what we call a wishbow in it, piece of nylon. That's going to stop any movement on my bait. So if a cup does pull from the front, he doesn't pull the foam off or if you throw very hard, it doesn't slide down your actual hook. So that little thing there is a very big must-have when it comes to cob fishing. Now what I'm going to do is take round nose pliers, you can add a heated up or you can use a soldering iron it's up to you and all we do is we just insert it into the middle of the foam. You try not break it. So basically I've made a hole through the center. These rattles are very nice in that they've actually got a point on them. I'm now going to take it and stick it into the actual foam over there. Now listen to the difference as far as noise goes. Can you hear that? It's a lot louder than what it was before. The hard density foam amplifies the noise. Okay, you're happy with that, guys? Now to attach the foam to the hook, all I'm going to do is measure off where I want it to be. Teapone is over there. That's the middle of it. You can either take a little toothpick and stick it in there if you want. If you don't want to use the teapone part of it, I'm going to show you how to do this quickly. Double the cotton. It's just so much quick and easier to do. And then when I get to the teapone part of it, I criss-cross over it. Now you see that part is actually getting stuck, that mile on piece is actually getting stuck in the cotton. It might be difficult to see on camera, but play with it at home. Try it yourself. You'll see what a difference it actually makes. And don't be scared to use a lot of cotton now. When you get to the back part of the floatation or the foam, about that far away, what I like to do is wrap it around about six or seven times around. What it does is forms a little bit of a bubble on the cotton, and that actually still holds the foam in place even more. And we just carry on going. Because like I say, a lot of cotton, very important. The more you put on, the better it actually works. And then to finish it off, all we're going to do is a couple of half features. Basically one, two, pull tight, one, two, pull tight, one, two, and you pull tight. There we go. Now that is the trace basically finished off as far as the hook and the floatation in the chocolate gas. Now, unfortunately it's very difficult to see, but I'm going to use a UV light to show you how much this blow in the dog foam actually starts to glow. Like you can see how it's already starting to go green. Now when you're baking up at night time, your head lamp is automatically charging this foam up. With this trace set on makeup, I use a fixed trace, basically using a number four and five power swivel. These hooks are extremely sharp. So the minute the cob bites or shakes its head from side to side, when it's trying to kill the chocolate, if you want to call it that, he actually hooks himself. And nine times at a time you almost get floor-borted by the cob. It is such an easy trace to use guys. The fish literally hooks himself. And that's my favorite cop trace and that's the secret. Glowing the dog foam with that rattle makes a huge difference.
