hook line and threader

I wonder if this will work for salt water bait fish?

I've never tried threading a live bait, but I could see it working for "durable" baits like shiner perch, sardines, macks, or smelt. Anchovies die if you look at them wrong...

I prefer a "trap rig" for live bait.

Or you can purchase an oversized sewing needle... Either way, great method for striper fishing the east delta or mackinaw fishing in the sierra's
