TWEED BAIT SPECIES SPANISH MACKEREL

Spanish mackerel, also known as Narrow-barred mackerel, are a highly sought after table fish and prized sport fish on light tackle. They are large-growing speedsters with razor sharp teeth and long narrow bodies adapted to a predatory life in the open ocean. Overall they are silver in colour and iridescent blue-grey above the lateral line. They have a series of narrow, wavy vertical bars the body that become more like elongate blotches rear of the anal fin. When hooked they display blistering high-speed runs and jaw-dropping aerobatics, particularly when attacking a skipped bait or surface lure or when pursued by sharks.
