searigs Sea Fishing Rigs, 2 Hook Flapper, Bass, Cod, Whiting and Pollock x 5 Packs,Hand Crafted in the UK.

Description

This is an all round rig which is an ideal choice to use when a wide number of species can be caught and no particular species is being targeted. Since there is no rotten bottom or weak link release this rig is best used when fishing an area which is snag free as the weight or snood becoming lodged in a snag will see the whole rig being lost. However, this rig can be easily converted into one which is more appropriate for rough ground fishing by swapping the link for a Gemini Breaker or similar release link. The use of two hooks allows two different baits to be used which therefore increases the chances of attracting a fish. In the diagram above size 2/0 hooks are used as they are a size which can still hook sub-1lb fish such as whiting, coal-fish, pouting or three bearded rock-ling but can also handle bigger fish such as cod and bass. Target SPECIES cod, bass, whiting, flatfish, Coalfish,Pollock , Pouting and Rockling. Ideally used for situations when natural bait presentation is not of greatest importance although it is not a rig designed for achieving great distances. This is one of the most commonly used and versatile rigs that can be used from piers,rocks and sea walls. Important The body of the rig needs to be of a similar diameter to the Shock leader to account for any pressure placed on the rig during the cast e.g. 50lb rig body = up to 5 oz of lead. We use a choice of 18 to 25 lbs snood. versatile rigs in the UK. The rig is composed of a lead link which goes up to a crimp, bead, a small swivel then another bead and a crimp. We leave some play between the two beads to allow the swivel to move freely. We also remember to make sure the snood lengths are not longer than the distance between the two swivels as this may make them tangle. Moving up the line there is exactly the same set up again of crimp, bead, swivel, bead and then crimp; again making sure to allow some movement for the swivel, then a swivel at the top of the rig.
