Default RE: Cobia Rigs

Live Eels are hard to beat. I usually tie a 7/0 Owner J hook to about 2 ft. of 60# Flourocarbon.

Hook the eel and lay him a cooler with a mixture of Ice and Water. The cold water will make him calm down till you are ready to use him. Once you pitch him out in front of a Cobe he will come to life, the Cobe will eat him, You will come to life, and then you will eat the Cobe.

It's a wonderful circle, isn't it!!!!!

There are alot of things a Cobe will eat. Pin fish, crabs, catfish..... Jigs are always a mainstay on any boat as well. Just go to any tackle store from now till June and they will have dozens of them in an array of colors and styles.
