Re: preferred rigs for all round?
clean ground close = 3 hook flapper
clean ground distance= 2/3 hook loop
rough, broken ground mainly pulley rigs or a long and low
rocky weedy ground pulley rig with rotten bottom

Re: preferred rigs for all round?
i think it depends on where you are fishing and for what spiecies.for instance in a deep water berth or clear,rock/weed free beach i would use a sheppey,which is a type of 3 hook flapper all running pulley style,with a kind of a short,long and low bottom snood,which is also excellent for fishing new marks,testing the water like...or a long and low pulley,which is essentially an upside down pulley,great for flatties...for rocks a pulley trace,or pennel pulley each with (or without,depending on the sea bed/how many weights you've lost)ste c wrote:whats your preferred rigs for all round shore fishing just seen what peoples opinions are

Re: preferred rigs for all round?
If i had to pick just one rig it would be a 7ft 3 hook(size 1/0) clipped down land most fish on that from the small to the big ones

Re: preferred rigs for all round?
2 or 3 hook flappers
but i do have a tendence to use smaller hooks than most people.
i find with smaller hooks i still catch the biggies but also get the odd smaller species aswell.....but no matter what size i use i very nearly always relase them again.....
i do use bigger hooks aswell on them the odd time but that is when i am going for size and weight not for species count....

Re: preferred rigs for all round?
Distance: Pennel Pulley rig (up and over for rays)
Close in: Two hook flapper (usually on wire booms to keep snoods apart)
I rarely vary from this apart from an unfortunate daliance with the wishbone craze of last year. It goes down in my book as just a tangle waiting to happen

Re: preferred rigs for all round?
you only realy need 3 basic rigs
3 hook clipped
2 up 1 down
pulley
these will get you out of most situations
