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. (more…)

If you’re like me, you like to carry around a few versatile lures that can be used for different types of fishing situations that may come up.

Macks Lure has introduced a new ‘hybrid spinner’ call hummbait. The unique lure is designed to attract fish with noise, vibration & appearance. This lure can be used for several different fishing techniques from casting, to buzzbait or even trolling.

HummBaits comes in three different sizes: 1/4 oz. (Minnow), 3/8 oz. (Smelts), and 1/2 oz. (Shad). Prices range from $3.29 to $3.99. You can pick them up at MacksLure.com or perhaps even find a deal at ebay

This is one of the hottest jigs on the market.

The Stanley Platinum Hot Flash has the same great design and quality of the Rattlin Flat Eye Jig with the addition of bright red weed guards and eight new BloodSpot skirt colors. It virtually eliminates snags and reduces abrasion near the knot.

This lure has a very realistic head, large eyes, and ultra-loud rattle, giving it the sense of a live bait. The dumb fish won’t know the difference. Tucked inside is a mustad black nickel, turned-eye, needle-point hook.

This jig is marked at a great price right now of only $2.58.
