FISHING RIGS
Remember the chase is better than the catch. As much as you would show off having caught rare variety of fish, it is sport worth playing anyway. The classic tussle between man and nature is a process worth enjoying by itself. The designing of the proper type of rigs is important to suit your fishing needs. Here are some important explanations:
LONG CAST RIG
Going with the flow efficiently is whole objective of this designing. Long cast rigs are primarily aimed towards lowering their resistance to water flow and cutting in with speed and effect. The same as the purpose of the jet design in air.
The lead line must be adjusted to as low in diameter as would insurable for safety. Even the bait should be streamlined. Use of clips to tighten the baits in common as otherwise they would dangle in water freely.
SPINNING RIGS
If you tend to use rubber lures then you know that they don’t hold down very far because of their low weights. In this design there are two swivels attached with one addition of a link swivel. You may explore the design with adjusting the trace length of the lure. The weight is provided by a bullet which can be drilled through or you can slip up something on the lead line.
CONGER FISHING RIG
Conger eels are rare species but experts may tell you if they are worth a shot in some areas nearby. This uses traces of wire on which the hook is attached. You can find such readymade wires in any good place.
PATERNOSTERS
This is a very common rig used in most places. One suggestion in design is stick the swivel in the 2 beads. If the conventional swivel and another link swivel seem too much then you may just replace it with a link. Be careful about the use of too many snoods as it may cause them to jam in with each other, which is a troublesome affair to repair.
PENNEL RIG
This is a fairly simple way of attaching two hooks in vertical ascendance. Smaller hook is attached on the top and larger at the bottom. The proportion is based on the understanding that hook size should be based on the bait size which in turn is based on expected fish catching. But the hooks meant for cods cannot catch whiting and other fishes of different size.
Therefore the second hook is used to solve this problem. In case the larger fish fail to bite on the smaller hooks, the larger hooks prove useful.
RUNNING LEDGERS
Many of the fish varieties are rather shy and they will literally shy away from the bait if they feel any external resistance on the line. Running ledgers can handle this problem. These rigs are great at catching hold of the fish firmly once the bite on is made. If you intend to catch conger or tope varieties of fish then you may want to replace the snood with a wire for strength.
DROPPER RIGS
This particular type of rig is best used with kites and on clear beaches with lots of space and winds. It can be used to suit your personal needs and is very changeable for different conditions and fish varieties.

One Response for "Some Types of Fishing Rigs"
Some great info. I’ll add my perspective and a few lures I use when I’m not fly fishing. Agree, trout like smaller presentations. You can certainly catch them with bass gear but most largemouth lures will be a waste of time. For example, you can leave the spinnerbaits at home but they will take a small crankbait and it’s actually quite a good tactic. They like to feed on the surface at times, but don’t use anything you would for bass on the surface. Buzzbaits, poppers, etc will just spook trout. When using spinning tackle, it’s best to use below-water presentations unless you’re at some fish farm where they eat pellets. Anything texas-rigged is a bad idea. The large hook and being buried in the worm are not good trout tactics. A small finesse worm or curlytail grub on a 1/16 jighead is the closest thing they will take. Your best lure is probably going to be an inline spinner like a panther martin or rooster tail. Use 1/16 to 1/6 oz sizes with 1/8 oz about perfect for most situations. Hair jigs resembling minnows in silver/black/white or resembling crayfish or sculpins in brown/olive will work well in streams over 3′ deep. Lastly, I agree with the casting bubble – you can put a lot of nymphs or even some streamers like wooly buggers on them and just let them drift with the current. Use whatever fly selection the local fly fishermen are using and put a small split shot 18″ above the fly to get it down quickly. Use 4 or 6 lb test line and a very light spinning outfit.
