do you just use the heads for snapper bait, or do you use the whole frame with the backbone attached?

cheers

got a heap there today, very patchy though.
and only average in size.
1000's of boats there aswell

be nice if the boats didn't motor through the schools, and went around to start there drift again.


i use them whole for reef baits, trueblue.

frames are also used for burley.

some quality in the crab out there aswell

Went there today Sunday and yeah there were more boats there than I have ever seen in one area. Whiting were scattered but found some good quality eventually away from the fleet. Only got 3 sandies. Only stayed a few hours in the morning to avoid the problems at the boat ramp. Still a good day

Hi Guys

what rig, hook size etc do you use for your diver whiting?
