![]() ![]() One advantage of single lures is that they provide their own weight. It allows the fish to imitate the movement of light on the surface of the water when viewed from above, while from below appearing as the sky. It’s a nifty design produced by time and the deaths of many drably patterned mackerel. On the mackerels back are vivid black and blue stripes. The way to avoid it is to use a shock leader, or else use lighter weights in the 2-3oz range. The loud ‘crack’ of line snapping on the harbour is not an uncommon sound. Note that using Sabiki’s does mean you need to use lighter weights too, because the lines are much lighter. If you’ve ever felt the mackerel biting and not getting hooked this may be why. The reason I recommend Sabiki’s is because most mackerel feathers come with size 1/0 hooks, which is going to result in a lot of missed bites.
