Here is a super trace if you need distance in the cast when Shad are feeding far.

You can very the lenth to the depth of the water you fish in. If the fish is closer to the surface feeding on baitfish that jumps out the water you make the two lines 50-70cm. I usally make the lines a meter long. This wil get your bait down 2meter under the surface. What is nice about this rig is that you got direct contack with the fish when it grabs the bait and thus your strike wil not be handicaped by the flout. You can use a livebait with great sucsess with this rig to, for ither Garick or Spanich Macrell.

The common name for this in Natal is a "top bung" trace. the float varies in material, weight and size.

I have used the top trace in the past but with out a float...


Cast the sardine out and bring him in. You can vary the speed to check the depth they are feeding.


I was surprised you softly a shad can take a sardine without you feeling the bite.


Lots of fun on light tackle.
