Fishing for Bronze Bream in South Africa just got easier! Use our Bronze Bream Fishing Trace With Small Floats in rocky gullies and ledges with ample whitewater. Our setup helps keep your bait suspended just above the seabed, minimising the risk of snags.

Rigging and Tips:

• Main Line Connection: Attach your main line to one ring our three-way swivel.
• Sinker Leader: We have used a strong monofilament line for the sinker, attached to the second ring on the swivel. 
• Hook Leader: We have connected a strong leader to the third ring, making it around 20-40 cm long.
• Float and Hook:  Our small floats slide onto the hook trace and are secured slightly above the hook.

Ideal Bait Choices:

• Effective Baits: Pink prawn and cracker shrimp are top choices. Mussels and squid are also great alternatives.
• Bait Presentation: Peel and thread the prawn onto the hook. The float aids in presenting the bait in the "wash," where bream forage. Use light cotton to secure softer baits or a mix of prawn and mussel.
