yeah, that fella used the rig to cath the biggest flounder in the 'Taw' estuary 2 years running. he also wins most of the matches with it. i remember in sea angler magazine about 10 years ago there was a fellow that was reknowned for catching flounder in the Teigne on a rig with over a fivers worth of beads on it!

Beads
Donagh,
Most toystores sell bead sets. I got one in Derry last year for £10 and I wont need to buy another bead for the rest of my life even if I was using rigs like yer man. There was I think 5 or 6 thousand(said on packet anyway) in the set with a wide range of sizes and shapes. Well cheap in the long run.

i think Veal's do a 100 pack for 1 sterling. you will get 20 in the local tackle shop for that price. 5mm. and 8mm(which i don't like myself, better used for playing football). beauty is that you can choose what colour you want or get a mixed bag. also have a look at the oval black and luminous ones. these are great! craft shops do a few hundred small beads of different colours which cost about 2 euro. the 3mm ones are great for making neat rigs. the odd one can break if you have used a rig a few times though, but this is rare.

Id have to say tho', with a rig like that you could find that it only works in a particular area - i fished a competition in wexford recently (kaats strand) and flounders were caught on all types of rigs - baits seemed to be the predominant factor. I was fishing in woodstown yesterdaw and caught a plump little flounder on a mackerel bait...........its a strange old world!

Flounder on Fish baits
During the winter some of us fish the salt water creek near Shannon airport and catch most fish on mackerel strips and the bigger the strip the bigger the fish im sure there is some huge flounder in the Estuary.
We also catch smelt and whiting.
I fished one time on a beach in Waterford and my friend Tina was catching plenty of flounders on woodstown beach on mackerel baits
and the majority were big enough for the size limit for the competition.
Even when the crabs are molting in the estuary fish bait will outfish crab baits.
