I have been using pulley rigs for 35 years pleasure fishing and all match fishing mate and I can't fault them I just adjust hook sizes to match what I am targeting and I do a lot better than most pal
Just my opinion George but I reckon you would catch more fish if you stopped using all them piggin' pulley rigs.

Just imagine wot yer could have won George :O) and I'll bet you didn't win them all using them damn pulley rigs. ;-)
It could have been a bite detection problem. When it is very windy, I turn the rod and rest so that they are parallel with the wind. It filters out most of the wind rattle but will still pick up bites nicely.
What are you doing wrong? Your using a pulley rig mate, that's what your doing wrong. I'll bet your hook was coming in clean? That's because a small fish can clean your hook and not register a bite. Unless a fish hooks itself and moves the lead you are unlikely to see any bites at all. In fact a 20 punder could clean the hook of a pulley rig and you would know nowt about it. What is more a pulley rig is more prone to tangle up as your lead rolls about on the bottom. So the answer is ..... Stop using pulley rigs! Don't use pulley rigs! Never use a piggin' pulley rig!
Hook size has a much bigger effect on what and how much I catch than anything else I've found. Fish with 2/0s or 3/0s at the minute and most of what I'm catching is sized. Very few smaller fish. I'm happy with that though.... On my scratching rod I tend to use size 1 Aberdeenshire and catch everything. Often both with pully rigs!! Never had any issue with them tangling either.

fished the steetly jetty [rip] one night with my,mate lads fishing both sides of the pier we picked the south side every one was pulling up whiting and cod not me and my mate, one and a half hours later not a single knock between us and every body around us kept landing fish after fish we were using clipped down pennel rigs 2 0 top hook 3 0 bottom, blacks,rag and squid was the bait yet no fish, changed our position to the north side fish a cast,you tell me what i was doing wrong on the south side and not wrong on the north side same bait, same rig, same ground
That's fishing sometimes. You can be 6 feet one side or the other to a pool holding fish and never get a knock. Me, my cousin and uncle fished side by side one day, me and my cousin got 47 fish between us. My uncle sat in the middle had 2.
Its the way it goes..
