Red Cob Cotton

Our Red Cob Cotton refers to elastic bait cotton. This iscommonly used in fishing to secure bait like chokka, sardine, or red bait onto your hook. This material is crucial for:

• keeping your bait compact during casting
• ensuring it remains on the hook
• allowing the bait’s scent to disperse in the water, attracting species like kob.

How is Red Cob Cotton Used?

• Elastic Bait Cotton: Use this elastic string to secure your bait to your hook.
• Securing Bait: You wrap the elastic cotton around the bait to bind it securely to the hook. This forms a compact shape.
• Purpose:
  • Prevents your bait from falling off during casting.
  • Protects your bait from being torn apart by smaller fish or currents.
  • Still allows the release of oils and scents into the water.

Examples of Bait Preparation:

• Chokka: Cut a cleaned, slit piece of chokka with a bait knife. Wrap with elastic cotton to secure to the hook. This ensures the flesh is outwards to release smell and oil.
• Kob Baits: For complex baits, use a chokka or sardine base and scure with Red Cob Cotton.

Using Red Cob Cotton effectively, ensures that your bait stays intact and effective, enhancing your fishing success.
