- Questions

What's the difference between leg-mount and clamp-on bait stations?

Leg-mount stations install into permanent deck sockets providing solid mounting for heavy use. Clamp-on systems attach to rails without drilling, ideal for hire boats or multiple vessels. Gold Coast tournament anglers prefer leg-mount for stability during processing, while recreational fishermen choose clamp-on for portability between boats.

What size bait board do I need for my boat?

Small boards suit boats under 5 metres with limited deck space. Medium boards work for 5-7 metre vessels with adequate cockpit room. Large stations fit boats over 7 metres with dedicated fishing areas. Brisbane anglers should ensure boards fold or remove for storage without interfering with normal boat operation.

Do stainless steel bait stations corrode in saltwater?

Quality 316 marine-grade stainless steel resists saltwater corrosion with proper maintenance including freshwater rinsing after use. Powder-coated frames provide additional protection. Tweed Coast fishermen should choose 316 stainless or anodised aluminium frames, avoiding mild steel that rusts rapidly in marine environments.

What weight downrigger bomb should I use?

Use 6-8lb bombs for shallow trolling under 30 metres in calm conditions. 10-12lb bombs suit 30-60 metre depths or moderate currents. 14lb bombs handle deep trolling over 60 metres or strong currents. Our Gold Coast team recommends matching bomb weight to target depth and local current conditions for optimal lure presentation.
