Ghost Cotton

Our Ghost Fishing Cotton is an invaluable tool for anglers, especially when dealing with soft or delicate baits.

Here’s a comprehensive guide to using Ghost Cotton to ensure your bait stays secure:

  • Prepare the Bait: Start by positioning your bait firmly on the hook. For crumbly or soft baits, ghost cotton helps keep everything in place.
  • Begin Wrapping: Place one end of the cotton near the hook's eye. Wrap it tightly around the bait and hook shank, ensuring it’s taut to maintain tension.
  • Wrap Methodically: Continue wrapping multiple times, covering the entire bait and hook shank. This helps compact the bait and prevents it from disintegrating or being stolen by small fish.
  • Secure the End: Once satisfied with the coverage, wrap the cotton around the hook shank one final time. Pass the end through the hook’s eye to hold it securely.
  • Finish with a Knot: Tie a simple knot or use a whip finish to lock the cotton in place. For baits like crabs, you can also tie up the legs to keep them against the body.

Tips and Considerations when using Ghost Fishing Cotton:

  • For Hard Casting: Ghost cotton’s strength and elasticity make it perfect for hard casts, ensuring the bait remains intact.
  • For Delicate Baits: It’s ideal for keeping delicate baits, such as prawns or live bait, from falling apart during casting.
  • For Added Scent: Enhance your bait’s scent by tying extra pieces of chokka (squid) using ghost cotton.
  • For Removing: Be ready with scissors to cut away the cotton after fishing, as it can be difficult to remove and might build up on the hook.
