Fishing Tips for Psednos spirohira

  • Use an ultralight 4‑5 ft spinning rod with 2‑4 lb test line
  • Tether tiny live baits such as copepods or shrimp larvae on a size 6‑8 hook
  • Employ a gentle bottom‑jig or drift a light rig just above the substrate
  • Keep the drag very light; the fish offers a minimal fight and can be easily lost if the line is too heavy
