About
The red-tailed scad of the Keys reefs, the kite bait that sailfish, kingfish and blackfin cannot leave alone, and hard to come by on the days it matters most.
How to fish it
Sabiki over the reef edge and the wrecks at first light; a round, dark well keeps them alive.
What it eats

Getting it, rigging it
Getting it
