Best bass rigs

looking to find the best 1hook bass rig for slightly rough ground using crab as bait, been using my mainline for donkeys years, time 2 progress

A Pulley should work for you..

thing is how do you make a pulley rig

This site has a couple of different rigs and how to use them. Funny thing is if you buy a pre-made trace some of them have on the back the sizes and lengths of line to use.



Ok I'm a cheat

That doesnt look like any pulley rig I've ever made

- the one in the website you linked to is more like what i would use

still doesnt make catching any easier.....

a pulley pennell rig is your only man

cheers lads im laughing at myself here as i look at my first ever roll of snood, evolution

actually that picture is a scan of the back of Grey's made-up rig packet - save yourself 3 quid and make one up yerself!

i heard that runnin legers do well with a pennal rig

I would agree that a running leger is ideal for close in work and maybe the pulley rig for longer distance perhaps

ok anyone got a diagram of a running ledger rig, is that where the weight sits above the hook but there is a bit of play between both, throwing away my chicken bone hooks

I was only showing an example of the diagrams on the back of the packs of rigs you can buy that have the dimensions to copy. Ok ok I could have shown a pulley but I'm stuck in that place you go between fishing and under a bit of pressure.

I just use the diagrams to copy the lengths of snood and where to tie on the hook lengths. I love sitting down and making up some traces and having my own selection with me.

Kraken was right about not making catching any easier but it feels great when you start catching on your own traces and you can pick and choose to suit the venue.

ok anyone got a diagram of a running ledger rig

i havnt but i can discribe it a si use it quite regulary for wrasse pollack and cod.
i use a 4oz lead
20Ibs mainline
bead to protct the knot
swivel tyed on
20Ibs clear leader about 3-5 feet long
size 1 - 4/0 hook.

maybe the best thing is to buy the ready made rigs and copy them, would definatly prefer to tye my own knots then trust some machine, cant kick a machine up the ass when they break
