Tackle (the boat's instructions come first) Otoshikomi rod / electric or conventional reel / PE #3–4 / otoshikomi rig (main leader #10–14, droppers #8–12) / sinker 30–80号 (as the boat specifies)
1. The whole rig
Like a heavy sabiki. The live baitfish you catch become the bait.
2. Hook a baitfish
At the depth the captain calls, let the small fish take the hooks.
3. Wait
Leave the baitfish on and wait for a big fish to take it.
4. Bite and hook-set
Don't strike right away. Wait until the rod is fully loaded.
