Re: Best bait and rigs for flats?
It can depend where you are.
Bait - generally crab , rag or maddies are best, but lug will work as well
Rigs - again depends where you are, but also strength of tide. The strength/height would affect the length of snood you use.
A 3 hook flapper with size 1 hooks (or whatever your preference) will work as a general rule
