Re: what rig is working best for you ?
Well done lads. the money you will save is unreal. Eric the first month is the worst. I gave them up over 5 years ago and there are days when I could light one up but the urge passes within a couple of minutes. good luck
regards to favourite rig, I dont get the chance to fish for smoothies but generally its 3 hook flappers and pennel pulleys
