Hi Rudolph, I want to thank you very much for the informative videos! I used to live on the coast and love fishing. Due to work commitments and lockdown I have been stuck in Gauteng for some time and spent my spare time watching videos on this channel. I went down to the coast a while back and had very limited time to fish. Just 1 day. Conditions were not ideal at all and I specifically wanted to target Kob. I spent a considerable amount of time reading the water and walked for 4km until I found a nice gutter during dead low tide.(followed your water reading tips video) I felt somewhat confident and used the trace you had demonstrated on this video with a 7o circle hook and dangle. I used a chokka bait as presented on one of the other videos with a bit of sard within and tentacles for vibration because the water was not that clean. I threw just in front of the back bank in the gutter and went tight within minutes with a 63cm Kob. I kept the 1st one for the pot and managed to catch 4 others during the day between the 50cm and 74cm mark which I all released. Thank you very much. My day was made! I just had to come back to this clip and thank you.

So glad you raised and highlighted about water reading. So many times I think we over cast over the fish. 2 weeks ago I got a beautiful 80cm kob in Stilbaai on a 2/0 J hook, limited slide, with a short cast (was hunting belman / steenbrass), with moonshine !!? Thanks for this video and the awesome content.

Very nice look at what works and gets the fish in. Thanks!

Ur tips always work. Wish I cud fish with u. Thank u

Simple is good I landed a nice kob with 30cm trace and just a prawn without cotton. After weeks of tying high tech traces I was humbled with that catch.

Thanks Rudolph, - for showing us your hook trace build up! Or hook snood ! Catch a big cob! !🙂 🎣 _ 🐟 _ 🎣 🙂!

Thnx Bru it really helps to keep track

Rudolph only the best😍👍

Great lesson. Thank you 🙏

Thank you. Can one use a sliding trace ( hook trace fixed to main line and sinker trace sliding) instead of the fixed trace?

nice cycads to. thanx

Thank you so much

Thanks for the informative video. What is your thought on 3 way power swivels? Quite pricey but the old school swivels have been good enough through the years, so I am glad to see that you are using them. Your opinion?

thank you for the video.. Been making my traces All wrong.. I go out on a boat in Langebaan. I have caught a kob on the trace someone else showed me (Round sinker with a long trace 1m roughly) but im sure it was more luck. Would your tackle work for me in the lagoon from the boat ?

Thank you for the help will definitely try this trace Is there any particular time of year to target kob in kzn??

Awesome vid but what size circle was that? 8/O?

👍✌️

Wer n wen cn I target kob n hw do do dy feed????

Is a sliding sinker not better for Kob?
