Rig - Queenfish swimbait for Spanish Mackerel Print E-mail
Written by Scott Gray

Trolling dead swimbaits is an ideal method for catching Spanish mackerel and other pelagic fish.  The trick is too ensure that the baits swims in a lifelike manner.  To rig the bait we use a 2 hook rig which is made up using 100lb single strand wire.  Connect about 40cm of single strand wire to a Black Magic 5/0 KS offset or KL circle hook.  Rig up the second hook by using a separate length of single strand wire about 20cm long with a 5/0 hook  (the same way as for the first part of the rig but shorter).  Connect this to the eye of the first hook so both hooks are joined.  To connect the bait get a bait needle and thread a ball sinker looped onto a piece of dacron through the bottom jaw of the queenfish and pull through so the sinker sits below the bottom jaw of the bait.  Remove the bait needle and loop the darcon over the shank of the first hook.  Do not connect either hook directly to the bait at all.  Simply use a rubber band to hold the second hook in place.  To add the rubber band simply stretch it over the back of the bait to the desired position.
