Dave, not to add to your Hi-jack, :mrgreen: but I use #6, #8 sabikis, get mini macks, medium macks, and huge macks. I think it depends on what bait is around at that time. If you are getting salami macks, that is probably what is available at the spot you are dropping your sabiki. If I don't find a producing spot, where I can load up my tank, I usually troll my sabiki around to find them... btw I am a believer in big baits now!
