Fishing Rigs

 


Getting the Right Fishing Rig is Crucial to Your Catch

While we all dream of deep water fishing it can be much more complicated than it looks. From ensuring you have the right rod to the right rigging, knowing what you need can not only save your catch but also save your life. But what about those rigs that can be used in more than once instance? Or what about special rigging for game fishing?



Ledger rig

Whether you and your mates are going out reef fishing or hunting after a big bluenose, you will find that the ledger rig is one of the best and most versatile rigs out there today. For instance, if you are in shallower waters you can use this rig as a drop shot or dropline fishing rig to catch some snapper or even trumpeter, and then later in the day you can move onto something deeper like going after hapuku or bass.

You may also know this rig as a Dhan Line, and most often you will never use more than three hooks. However, if you are in deeper waters with high underwater cliffs you are trying to get around up to 20 hooks can by used. Just remember to keep your traces at a half distance between hooks so that you do not get tangles. This is often overlooked and a lot of time wasted trying to right it again.

So rather than bring a large assortment of fishing rigs you may only need one like the ledger rig for your day to be complete.

Tarpon Fishing Rigs

Here are fishing tackle rigs at their best. You will find that the Tarpon Fishing rig is the most popular one out there to date amongst all the game fishing enthusiasts. But this is not your typical rig as it is set up for a catch that can easily equal if not surpass your body weight depending on your size. Can you imagine not having the right rigging for this monster?

Rigging Your Tarpon Tackle

 20-30 lb conventional outfit or spinning rig + 15-20 lb monofilament test line that is connected to quite a few feet of 80 to 100 lb test monofilament shock leader
 7 foot rod with 4/0 to 7/0 hooks
 At the tail end you will want double up approximately six feet of line with what is called a bimini twist and then add onto that a black barrel swivel.
So whether you are going after the saltwater fishing or the freshwater fishing you will need to remember that getting the right rig set up is of the utmost importance. Not only will it allow you to truly enjoy the experience but it is also just safer to do so.
