Q&A: Sight Casting to Cobia Along the Florida Panhandle
Posted by Booster Apps on
Question: I am a cobia fisherman from Panama City , FL. I’m interested in your recommendations for sight casting to cobia. Please advise. Thank you. - Bill Answer: Sight fishing Cobia may be the most exciting way to target these fish.

Unweighted is the most deadly in terms of action but can be difficult to cast. For that reason, many anglers switch to the weighted version of our swim-bait Hook.
