Recommend this site to a friend | Back | Predator Cuttle-Fish
For the big conger, use them whole on a size 10/0 hook but slice the body up a little to release more scent. For smaller baits, open up the body cavity and remove the hard flat backbone. Remove the skin with the back of a knife to expose a tough, thick white flesh. Small strips can be used like squid for tipping other baits off or cut long and thin for drift fishing. Cuttle-fish can also be a killer bait for late autumn specimen sized bass if left to mature for a couple of days to increase the smell. |
This is THE bait for big wreck conger and
has produced a string of massive fish over the years, particular
from the upper English Channel wrecks. It’s also excellent
for larger than normal shore conger from the deep water rock marks
along the west coast.
