Baitbox Sardine x 3/4
A very effective deadbait on many venues. These oily sea fish have a strong scent and a lovely silver sheen. The only downside with sardines is that they are a very soft bait and so need to be used straight from frozen if possible.
Whatever they lack in toughness they more than make up for in pike-catching, so sardines are a permanent fixtures in or Cool Bags.
Our sardines are around 7 inches in length, so are best used on a size 6 Twin Treble Trace. To help hold the hooks in place use a couple of wraps of Bait Elastic around the hooks and bait, or use our innovative Deadbait Retainer, which we originally developed specifically for use with sardines.
