Thanks cobia, appreciate the advice::slr::
Here's a quick sketch of the Trolling trace I discussed earlier for anything between a Mackerel and a Mullet. I keep it plain simple and effective. It works.
If you are going to use a lets say drift around, swim on its own livie then use the same trace without a sinker, for when the boat is stationary and perhaps relying on current or wind drift.

Thanks((goodp_
1 x 10/0 tsunami circle hook through both lips of the fish when casting the bait
For sliding the same rig but only through the top lip
When using J-hooks:
· 6/0 kendal through the top lip alone and pull it right through. then insert the hook again and "ryg" the hook like a needle and pull it out again. The last time you must place the hook next to the fin on the mallet's back. - for cobs (think PASTA has got a tut on it in the trace section)
· for leeries you just hook the j-hook through the top lip and pull it out but then insert the hook again and place it close the the mallet's head.
· Elf is also the same as the cob but they attack more to the tail section and jou should place your hook in such a manner that it is located close to the tail
We think the leeries eat from the front while the cobs attack you bait from the back. (Again our opinion)
Give the circles a go - the tsunami works like a bomb and your mallet stays alive much longer as it is only hooked once.

nice advise there cobia.
yip the old days we used them castmasters.
just lobbed the live bait out.
now days we slide everything out to the back line, past all the feeding fish.
so is essence we are in many cases fishing past our target specie.
old men will tell you Garrick were caught just past the first breaker, so why are we sliding to England for that matter?

here is one for the medium size mullets....
Make your trace already, sinker mainline everything except the hook. Make the hook trace a little shorter than the sinker trace.
take a bait needle, and thread your trace (.80 for me), under the skin of the mullet next to the spine from just before the tail to just behind the head. Pull almost the whole trace through, and leave the sinker mullet and all the rest in your baitbucket, rockpool, whatever u using for livies so it can chill while you tie on the treble hook.
Now i think it's vmc, but there is a treble called a "scorpion", with 2 trebles 1 size, and the 3rd one 2 sizes bigger. This works the best but a larger treble will work as well. Pull the trace back so the 2 legs of the treble is on either side of the livey, and the larger treble is standing upright on it's head.
Now you have a livey that you can "clip" onto your grapnel and cast like you would any other bait you need to get out further.
With thanks to my uncle RupertN.

korrek... beslis een van die negatiewes... Maar ek toets gewoonlik my aas, livey of gooi aas nadat ek dit geclip het....
ek worry baie minder oor dit as n stukkie Macassar Krismis decoration oor my lyn in die donker en n slide wat nie tot onder gaan nie.
Sonder dat hy geclip is, kan overwind en afstand vir jou n probleem wees, en n dag wat jy net 2 hardertjies het wil jy hulle nie mors deur hom af te gooi of overwind uitkatrol gooi weer nie.
Net n opsie.
