when i used to fish land based alot
if i wanted the bait to sink after a while i would use a life saver they slowly dissolve
otherwise i would use a small lacky band! but make sure it is fine if the band is too thick it can snap your line( was using mono then)
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!

If a shark takes your bait, it will pull the balloon under water and the pressure qenerally pops the bloon. im goin out 2morrow as well to target sharks.

Tail
All I do is leave the tail from where you tie your main line to the wire trace about half a metre long and tie the balloons to this. Once a shark take the bait its going to pop the balloons and you can still use the same set up next time round.
The normal 10 inch party balloons are all that you need, is the wind is low put another balloon on.

Best and easiest way to put
Best and easiest way to put a balloon is, make a double in your mono wind on or leader and tie on the balloon, and cut off the tag from the balloon.
just make the double in he win on, at whatever length you want to suspend you bait

the easyest way is , where
the easyest way is , where you attach your main line to your wire trace use a snap swivel , and on the part of the baloon where you blow it up poke the snap swivel through were the rubber ring is , it makes it easy to pop off when you hook up.
