Southern Bait Whole Bonito Medium
Product Description
The Southern Bait Whole Bonito Medium is a powerhouse bait for anglers targeting large fish in New Zealand waters and globally. Bonito, also known locally as Skipjack Tuna or "Skippies", is renowned for its incredibly high blood and oil content. The moment this bait enters the water, it begins releasing a thick, potent scent trail down the current line, attracting large predators in the area.
Because it is supplied whole, the medium Southern Bait Whole Bonito is incredibly versatile. It is the perfect size to be rigged whole as a skip-bait or swim-bait for offshore pelagic species such as Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, and large Kingfish. Alternatively, when anchored over a deep reef, it can be easily slabbed into substantial, oily cut-baits or butterflied to tempt a 20lb trophy Snapper or a deep-water Hapuku.
Southern Bait ensures these bonito are blast-frozen as soon as possible after being caught. This rapid freezing process locks in the natural oils and maintains the flesh's firmness, preventing it from becoming soft when thawed on the bait board.
| Potent Scent Trail: | Packed with natural fish oils and dark red blood that disperses rapidly in the water column to attract fish from a wide area. |
| Exceptional Versatility: | Can be trolled whole for large game species, butterflied for heavy straylining, or cut into robust strip baits for deep-water ledger rigs. |
| Medium Profile: | The perfect, manageable size (typically around 1.5 to 2.0 kg) for rigging on standard game gear without being overly cumbersome to handle on a small boat. |
| Blast-Frozen Freshness: | Processed and frozen immediately to maintain scale integrity, vibrant colour, and flesh firmness. |
| Proven for Large Fish: | The number one choice for targeting large Kingfish, trophy Snapper, Sharks, and offshore pelagic species. |
