(Curiosity) "Go to rigs"

[Gordon28]

Was sitting pondering the other night whilst building rigs what everyone else uses most. Gave me the idea of seeing what everyone considers their main "Go to" when out.
what would you say is your most used rigs?

Personally my most used rigs are Pulley rigs or 2 hook flappers.

Beach=running ledger.

Yep, me too. I know some question the hook up rate on pulleys but I’ve still had plenty of decent fish on them and they’re just so quick and easy to tie, with minimal components.

 

[Had1]

rotten bottom paternoster for rough kelp etc .. running most situations though or a pulley if need clipped down distance

 

[Thameside]

2 hook clipped, which can always use as flappers. Single hook is up & over, easy to adjust hook length. Have made various types of rigs over the years, but have realised for where I fish this covers everything for me.

 

[Dutchman]

Not into many rigs myself.
Only use running ledger for fishing for bass, and mostly because of the main location used, but will do for others.
Just use what ever i have been given or picked up cheap or even baited feathers.

 

[jackjock]

A fixed pat with a circle hook on the penal top hook.

 

[Beach]

Running ledger off the beach, sometimes with 2 hooks.

Mack truck with 40ft trailer.

 

[flappy]

Dunno..two hooks on a twelve inch bit of line with a weight at the end.

Are you trying to knock the fish out, before foul hooking them?

 

[Mike hemming]

Running ledger suits most of my fishing ,and a clipped down pennle for big baits for distance dont really use anything else

 

[Valleyboy]

Semi fixed pat or loop rig for smaller baits

 

[Craig]

Up and over and 2 hook clipped for nearly everything apart from rough ground where I use a pulley rig.

 

[Waves]

Up and over
Fixed paternoster

 

[Shirleycodlin]

3 hook clip down
Or
Clip down pennell.

 

[Huss Hustler]

Semi fixed (moveable stop) pulley or pennell pulley.

Only thing I could think of from that hint/description on making it work is a sliding stop on weight side of the pulley bead to lock the snood unless a fish is on the other end then it would slip with pressure as normal? If so that’s pretty clever

 

[chesilpete]

interesting thread..... over 60% of my fish came to loops last year.... the extra range from clipping down allowed for beads etc. I guess an up n over clipped is a running ledger dont think i have had cause to use a pulley for a few years now.
Making a good clipped down rig gives you more options than a flapper rig imo.

Hiya Gordon,
Bang on there mate.
I use 8 or 10 turns of telephone wire for my stop.
