Rigs for people new to fishing and even experienced anglers.

#1 Post by seanbah »

I drew up some rigs when i was bored today that might help people new to shore fishing and might even help experienced anglers.
Hope it helps in some way took me a while to draw them. sorry if you cant understand my writing its very bad :( These rigs cover almost anything you will catch from shore.

Can I ask you 2 questions about the 2 up 1 down clipped? How come you have the srt spring on the seccond swivel and not the top as I think having it on top keeps the whole rig tight. And on the lowest snood how come there is such a gap between the hook and cascade swivel, I'd have the cascade swivel only a few inches above the hook as this keeps the trace much more streamlined.

I have the snood alot shorter to its just i kinda messed up drawing and was not drawing again, But you are right that the snood after the cascade has to be shorter than the one from the swivel or else it wont even clip. And for having the srt spring in the middle that's just personal preference i believe that you only need one balance out the bottom snood. And don't believe you need one on the top snood. As i said that's personal preference.

Fair enough :) Just one more observation, in your diagram of the 1 up 1 down the top snood is long enough to tangle the bottom one. I'm sure this was a mistake in the drawing but to a novice that doesn't know better it could be copied and lead to all sorts of tangles :((

fair play to you sean for going to great amount effort to put up your rig sketches up here and for putting your neck on the line to try and teach a few newcomers to our very secretive sport :roll: keep up the good work and dont let anyone put you off, tight lines lad :wink:

the Red thing is called a zip slider :wink:
