Instead of hanging a single bait on a hook, you pack a ball of dough, bread, prawn paste or ground pellet around the coiled spring, cast the whole thing out, and let it sit. On the bottom the bait softens and breaks apart around the lead, releasing a slow cloud of scent and particles in one tight spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoiled spring bonded to a 30 g lead sinker in one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody length 4.3 cm — compact enough to cast a loaded bait ball cleanly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring coils grip dough, paste and pellet bait so it survives the cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoubles as sinker and berley feeder — one item does both jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for the matabom bottom rig used across Malaysia and the region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild the matabom rig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tie the spring sinker to the end of the main line or below a swivel. Attach two or three short hook snoods of 8–15 cm just above or beside the spring so the hooks sit against the bait ball.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack the bait\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mix dough, bread, prawn paste or pellet to a firm, sticky consistency. Press it around the spring until the coils are buried, then tuck the hooks into the outside of the ball. Too wet and it flies off on the cast; too dry and it never breaks down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCast and wait\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lob it, do not whip it. Let it settle, take up the slack and leave the rod on a rest with a slight bend. The bait breaks down over 10–20 minutes; recast and repack once the tip stops showing small taps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlace it accurately\u003c\/strong\u003e — Repeat casts to the same spot.
