On this series of exotic baits I'm going to show you how to rig a crab for brash and muscle cracking in the Eastern capers they call it. What we like to use down here is the muscle main crab or our standard crab that we get on the beach. What we need for it is pretty much sinker depending on the weight that your rod will throw. I'm using a five ounce full the purpose of this episode. The reason we use a tear drop is simply that when the brash it takes off it doesn't get stuck as easily as a cone sinker or a grapnel sinker for instance. We're using a hoodlum heavy duty as you can see there it's one of our strongest hooks that we've got. Brasher, muscle cracker, I've got immense jaw pressure and they do being most conventional hooks. I've seen them look like circles when they've finished with them. So heavy duty hook that suits the size of your bait that you're going to be utilizing. Power swivel, heavy duty as well. Triple fish because it's a very hard line and high abrasion line. It's nice that it lies the bait flat on the ground. If you use the soft supple line it would actually get tangled up because it'll re-targeting the fish is in that rough turbulent water. So a very hard line that stays on the bottom is what you're looking for. Okay let's start it off. That's eight oh triple fish that's what I prefer guys. There we go. Again just a simple figure of eight to join it. Remember to lubricate. Pull tight. Now before we actually tie the swivel on what we're going to do is take our bait needle like so. We're then going to take our crab. The best way to rig it is to go if you have a look at the bottom part over here. Just under that leg. You can either go in through that leg if you want and that's what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to take it and break that leg off like that. So you've actually got a hole in it. I'm then going to take my bait needle like so and thread it all the way through and come out between those two feet over there. So there we go. And what we do is we just pull the line all the way through like that. So that's basically what's happening. You just slide it in through the leg and it's such perfectly on top of the crab over there. Okay now what I'm going to do is tie the swivel and we use a single small swivel again. It's to prevent it from getting stuck in the rocks as it's going through the rock. And that's about 40 centimeters which is more than ample for what I'm looking for. Slide it all the way down. Cut that off. Now we generally take about a 16 kilo monofilament, match the net, then the line that we were using for our snoozing. And the reason being if the sinker does get stuck it breaks off. We don't like to use running traces. For the simple fact that if the sinker gets stuck it's going to run backwards and forwards and eventually lose the fish anyway. So fix trace. And we make it roughly half the length of the original one. So about there is where actually one a time a sinker. So let's tie him on. And what you can do is actually make grooves in these sinkers as well. See that? And lose them as easily as if you didn't. As the sinker goes through the water it hits the rocks, the fish pulls off and hits the rocks. You lose a lot of sinkers. So that's about the trace length. Okay now what we do is we take these four legs over here just for casting purposes and that's where we're going to tie. We just take our cotton, start at the bottom. We just rip the legs up quickly. Okay there we go. So that's going to allow on the bottom, the rocky bottom once you've thrown it in. And you can throw it as hot as you want. It does not come off. That basically will hold it on so you can throw quite hard, quite far if you have to. The brush is going to come along, the crushes down on the crab and swims off with it and hopefully that hooks him. And that's okay guys very simple, very easy. Guys if you're going to use exotic baits like sea lions or prawns or crabs you need a permit. Make sure you get it from your local post office.
