Hi fishfighter,
you mean single wire as leader? I used silvercoloured multistrand 80lbs steel leader because I didn't quite know what to expect. I read a little about kings and it seems that this leader may spook them. I'll try single wire next time. I replaced the trebles on the Rapalas with double hooks and there are sharp like hell.
Capt. Fred,
the locals do livebaiting from bigger boats, I didn't have the chance to check this out. The small boats don't have livewells... Some use things like crab traps to keep bait outboards.
How do you rig the bait to jig from the drifting boat? Do you use a jighead? Is an ABU Ambassadeur C3 6500 sufficient for livebaiting or this kind of jigging?
Thanks for your replies!

Alex
