I use that one quite a lot!! Just got to make sure you tie a proper figure-of-eight knot on the hook length then loop them together properly. A lot of people get it wrong!

i only use 2-3 rigs in the winter i use either an up and over rig if i am casting at distance if fishing snaggy rough ground i use a big rolling swivel 3ft 80lb rig body then a 2ft hook trace in 50lb easy and simple. i like to keep rigs simple.

match the hook to your bait if fishing up north in the winter on the rough ground i use anything upto 8/0 if fishing local 5/0 - 4/0

in the summer if fishing for plaice etc i like to use a flapper or a wishbone rig with smaller hooks such as varivas sal****er champions in 1/0 - 2/0

as mentioned all my rig bits are bought from veals cant speak highly enough of them.

everyone has there own rigs etc for me i hate the pulley rig and this is why i use an up and over as has the same benefits of the pully but fewer bites missed.

Have to love a sea fishing site that bans the word sal****er as it doesn't pass the nanny swear filter. Which makes it just as well that S****horpe is not a famous shore fishing mark

As for rigs I used to crimp but now almost exclusively use silicone stoppers - one above and four below a trapped swivel. Hold the snood in place unless you get a monster but easily adjustable for if you have to replace a hook.

Most of my fishing is with two rigs: a clip down paternoster pennel and a two hook paternoster / cascade rig. Will at times use a wishbone, Portsmouth loop rig or a bomber rig but my experience has shown more fish come to the paternoster than these other rigs if fished together.

Haven't seen these before, but soon will. Just ordered some off eBay. Thanks for sticking them on.

I've used them before they are ok, but what I don't like about them is when you crimp them like any other crimp they crimp across the line and I think if you crimp it to hard you can weaken the line. So I've been using this tool and the crimps and rubber inserts that are made for this crimping tool from breakaway, I like this idea, I know I can use silicon sliders but they can move a bit too much.
