Have found the Mackerel rig with the bib, to get the wolf herring down deeper, the other one tends to plane up to the surface if trolled to fast,

Will still run the Wolf herring, but the Xraps are unreel, and classics, definately top lures and a couple of our favourites,

Hi, Sounds good, …
Hi, Sounds good, Wolf herring are one of the best baits going for spanish mackerel, Make sure you freeze them individually wrapped in Glad wrap and lay them flat.

Awesome mackerel rigs, I get through our local tackle shop Northside Tackle, he will send on, and can be used with similar fish or Gar/Ballyhoo. Google Northside Tackle Mackay and should put you in the right direction, or email me through my website and can forward on his details,

What is the name of that keel thing with the two rods on it? I have never seen those in the States and I’d love to try them out here.

Hi Jt,
When …
Hi Jt,
When serious about trolling for Mackerel, run a gar and wolf herring and two lures, but the classic 18 bluewaters are a top lure, and have a few XRaps, but haven’t used them much yet. They do look excellant and can’t wait till June. My other two favourite lures are RMG Scorpions, and Laser Pro 190, at various depths.
Cheers Greg

Well i have just …
Well i have just learned some great value out of that. i have the same set ups with the chin rigs and have been going into the fish. That rubber band idea is a great idea………….. i haven’t been using baits for a while had imense success with the Classic 18 Bluewaters and Rappala Xraps 30′s. But your way is a very simple and smart idea. Thanks for sharing Greg

Relatively easy, …
Relatively easy, there’s more complicated rigs, You need the sinkers/keel so it swims straight and upright, and wolf herring are very soft, so putting hooks through can wreck the fish. Plus the hooks lie flat and are flexible allowing the fish to swim through the water in a sexy manner, big Spanish just can’t resist, Deadly guaranteed!! Cheers Greg

man this is so …
man this is so complicated y not just put the hooks through the fish no need for a sinker or the spikes though the head or tying the hooks to the fish

If you have wolf …
If you have wolf herring or a similar fish, would do, you can rig Gar, Ballyhoo, tailor, mullet etc as well. Most tackle shops have pre made rigs, but these rigs are definately awesome for Spanish Mackeral. Check out your local tackle shop and see what they have available for your local fish species. Easier and quicker the better,
Cheers Greg
