A simple technique
The sabiki assembly works well when presented at the exact level of the bench, with light animation rather than large, sharp strokes.
On schools of mackerel, horse mackerel, sardines or sand eels, a controlled descent and a few small lifts are often enough to bring the fish up.
When the current is present, it is especially important to adapt the lead to keep the fixture vertical and visible to the fish.

Some useful settings
Choose fine shanks, generally between 10 and 30/100 for small fish, with hooks adapted to the size of the fish you're after.
If you're looking to make a maximum number of fish in a short time, stick to small to medium sizes, as the sabiki rig is particularly formidable on various forage fish.
A slow animation is often enough, but on a nervous bench you can sometimes accelerate a little without making sudden movements.
How to save time?
The real time-saver comes from scouting: as soon as you see hunting, seagulls or echoes on the depth sounder, place the sabiki mount immediately at the right depth.
If, for example, you're fishing for denti, the most useful species will be red mullet, mackerel, sars or oblades, so you should give priority to these species.
In practice, it's possible to make a supply of nice live ones in a few minutes when the shoal is well located.

Editing and rhythm
Using a ready-made sabiki leader saves you a lot of time, as you can cast again immediately after each catch.
If touches become scarce, quickly reassemble and change zones, rather than insisting on the same spot for too long.
It's often more profitable to multiply short trials than to stay on an empty spot.
A very effective method is to spot a shoal, lower the sabiki to the right height, make small animations, and immediately bring up the fish caught to start again.
