Thread: Kontiki bait advice

The issue with the range of the drones is more to do with the amount of line your reel can hold, and from what I can see they don't usually use kontiki mainline as it's probably too heavy to pull 2km out.
As for bait I either buy whole fresh mullet from Pak and Shat or use Kahawai. I have also used pillies and bonito but obviously you have to tie each bait on with bait elastic. I was told by someone that they use pillies and/or bonito and freeze it on the hooks and don't tie it on, then take it to the beach in a chilly bin so it stays frozen, then launch it. Haven't tried that yet since I would want to put the whole trace board in the freezer, and I don't have a chilly bin big enough to take the seahorse trace board.
