Recommended bait: Mulies, whitebait and sardines.<br />
Recommended rigs: In sandy bottom c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, use a Paternoster<br />
rig – the sinker is tied to the end <strong>of</strong> the line and a separate line with a<br />
gang <strong>of</strong> hooks is attached above the sinker (see below). When casting<br />
over reef use a bait-casting rig – the gang (hooks) is simply attached to<br />
a 600 mm trace and swivel. Popper lures and metal spinners can also be<br />
used for tailor.<br />
