Daiichi Sabiki Rig Rainbow Size 6
The Daiichi Sabiki Rig Rainbow Size 6 is a rigged baitfish catcher built on six sharp Daiichi hooks dressed with rainbow-colored fish skin. If you're after live bait for saltwater or inshore fishing, this rig lets you target multiple small fish in a single drop—a genuinely efficient way to stock your livewell or catch box without making multiple casts. The gill-flash pattern mimics the flash of feeding baitfish, triggering strikes from mackerel, jacks, snappers, and other species that hunt in schools.
Sabiki rigs have been a staple in saltwater fishing for decades, and for good reason. You work them vertically or at an angle, letting them flutter and flash as they drop through the water column. When baitfish are feeding, they'll hit multiple hooks at once—sometimes you'll pull up three, four, or more on a single jig. The Size 6 hook is sized right for catching small to medium baitfish and panfish-sized forage that bigger saltwater gamefish will actually eat.
This is the kind of simple, effective gear that doesn't need a long explanation—it works because it mimics what's already in the water. Keep a couple of these rigged and ready in your tackle box. If a baitfish bite is available, a Sabiki rig with good flash and sharp hooks will find it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish can I catch with a Sabiki rig?
Sabiki rigs are primarily used to catch baitfish and small forage species like mackerel, jacks, silversides, and anchovies. They're a tool for loading live bait rather than targeting larger gamefish directly, though panfish will sometimes strike them too.
How do I fish a Sabiki rig?
Drop the rig vertically or at an angle through the water column where baitfish are schooling. Work it with short jerks or let it flutter as it sinks. When you feel strikes or weight on the line, retrieve steadily. You'll often hook multiple fish at once.
What does Size 6 mean?
Size 6 refers to the hook size—a standard reference that indicates the rig is sized for small to medium baitfish, typically in the 2–4 inch range depending on species.
