Hi I've been fishing for a good while now and I've noticed many anglers use there mack bait in different ways. I try to cut it to suit hooks and species but it doesn't all ways go right,. What is the best way / must useful way you use your fillet.?

A use a 2inch triangle and tred it on so hook tip finishes on the big end and the meat side and then rap tightly so the skin side folds in on its self so u are left with a big meaty bait at your hook tip if ya know what I meen?

That's a good way Paul I know what you mean that way it keeps the hook tip wide open for a take.

fresh from the hook, remove heads tails etc, put filets directly skin side down on a preheated Barbeque, turn over when crisp for about 30 seconds, little sprinkle of seasalt, transfer onto a plate and eat the lot with your fingers. Mop up the juices with some crust bread. Best and most useful way ever!

Depends on target species. For most species I like using long thin strips with plenty of the shiny bright belly skin on it. Hook through one end, and I imagine it not only smells good, but also wriggles and wafts in the current to add a visual appeal.
