mike farrants Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Got the next weymouth angling club boat comp coming up and you are allowed to fish max 3 hooks on one rod, given the variety of fish at the mark I was at on Friday id like to fashion a 2 up 1 down kind of rig - small hooks and squid baits for bream/gurnard with a long flowing trace on the bottom for big stuff (rays, hounds, etc) is it as simple as a 2 hook flapper down to a 3 way swivel with lead clip on bottom and the long trace coming off the 3 way?

Odyssey Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Running ledger with a short dropper off your main snood and one higher up… will sketch something up in a min… works great for flatties and bream. What are the rules? Most species? Biggest fish? How many rods you allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 different points per species (released on the day) - max 10 of each fish - catch and release - size not important unless specimen size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malc Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Would it not be better to use plastic booms to help with presentation? Or will they just be a weed and snag magnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 i've made a simple 2 hook flapper for the small stuff - which goes down to a short 30cm length of mono with a lead slider on it, locked in between swivels - off which comes the long trace for the big baits - the idea of the lead slider being to improve bite detection - otherwise the snood is 'below' the weight and we use big weights given the tide out here! ive also cut down some feathers and sabikis to 3 hook rigs which i intend to bait up for the small inshore stuff! i'll let you know how we get on!

We do that a lot with the snowbiki’s, they are 5’s so I cut off the 3rd up and the top, or slice off the bottom 2 and re- tie the lead. TBH I like strings of 3.
