To rig live flying fish, you will need a hook, a leader, and a zip tie. Start by threading the hook through the eye sockets of the flying fish, making sure the hook is facing outwards and away from the body of the fish.

What bait attracts the most fish?
The type of bait that attracts the most fish will depend on the species of fish being targeted and the conditions of the water. Generally, live bait is the most effective type of bait as it closely mimics the prey that fish naturally eat. This includes worms, insects, minnows, and leeches. Other popular types of bait include fish eggs, cheese, hot dogs, and chicken liver. Artificial lures such as spinners, jigs, and spoons are also effective when used in the right conditions.
How do you rig a flying fish for a kite?
To rig a flying fish for kite fishing, you need to attach a 300-pound test Izorline leader to the main hook, then a 6- to 8-inch fluoro leader to the eye of the hook. Next, attach the flying fish to the leader using zip ties. Finally, attach a 5X treble stinger hook to the tail of the flying fish and secure it with a zip tie. The stinger hook should be able to swivel freely, allowing the lure to move more naturally in the water. Once finished, the fly fish should be ready for kite fishing.
