Hello all,

I'd better explain this colour thing before I'm branded with the wrong colour brush!! :oops:

It all started with an article about Red Amnesia being recommended for clear water in Ireland (Alan Yates I think) anyway on went the Red snoods, then I thought what if the rig body was also Red? :idea: ( Red Ice 70Lb! lighter shade buy you can make it work :) ) next to go were the black beads replaced by, you guessed it Red Beads( Hooker Red works best)! When it was done I'd of worn it to a club a masterpiece!! Then as it hung without a lead from my mirror, I mean garage door, the piece de resistance to finish it off... a 6oz Breakaway Impact lead, with the Red top!! Ohhh suits you sir! Tie a 3 hook clip down in all red and you'll see!!

If i can just find a red beach to fish now I'm sorted!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

here the lads on the boats use red line successfully(so they say) for there doggy fishing, red beads etc. worth a shot on some venues??

There's some Redline for ya.... :lol:

i take it you add mustad match aberdeens to keep with the red theme??!
i aint slaggin, many of my rigs for fishing at dark are tied this way too!

I have heard of some anglers using different colour beads in rigs to show wat size hook there using, ie clear- size 4 black 2s and so on. Suppose you could do the same for snoods lenghts too maybe.

The best rig of all used to be half a mackerel trace baited with 3 big strips of mackerel lobbed out into anywhere there was fish this worked a treat in the Shannon Estuary or off the rocks I can remember hauling trebles of doggies during the late 80s and 91 92 but with the decline of fish etc were gone more into super sonic rig making which takes up so much time lol

I was thinking about this whole colour thing, what about years ago when there was no coloured line and the fishing was great? Heavy Thick Mono and big hooks done the job. I'm sure the fish don't get a monthly Mag telling them about new Line to watch out for, is the line colour thing catching more anglers than fish I wonder? It is me anyway!

Maybe at a meet we could have rig zones, ie: 1-5 use only clear snoods etc... 6-11 Black snoods....12-17 red snoods, it would be a good experiment on a venue producing at the time?

it would want to be a very heterogenous stretch of beach - plenty of scope for other confounding factors otherwise

some lads rave about red snoods. personally i don't like em. yellow aswell. had days when i tried these traces in clear seas and the clear mono took everything!
