What is a Pennel rig?

The pennel rig is a two hook snood used to present a large bait and has the advantage of having a hook at the top and bottom of the bait. The bottom hook of the pennel is normally larger than the top one but both should be strong hooks to cope with large fish.

How do you tie a cascade rig?

Cascade Rig Components

How does a bomber rig work?

The bomber rig is a two hook rig where both hooks are clipped down behind the same impact shield. This allows longer casting distances to be reached and the protection of an impact shield means that bait presentation is improved. Additionally, the two hooks mean that two different baits can be used.

How does a pulley rig work?

How a Pulley Rig Works

1. The pulley rig is cast out and settles on the seabed.
2. A fish takes the bait and is hooked.

Why is the Ned rig so effective?

One of the main reasons why the Ned Rig works so well is because of the buoyancy of our ElaZtech material. At rest, the baits stand up off the bottom and move ever so slightly, even when deadsticked. On the fall, the buoyancy allows for a slower, more horizontal, sometimes spiraling descent.

What is a shaky head?

A shaky head jig is a lightweight leadhead, with 1/16 to 1/4 ounce sizes being the most common. This ball-shaped jig is coupled with a light wire bass-style hook, making the use of finesse plastic baits a reality.
