How it works
Clips a larger bait down for a more aerodynamic cast before it releases on impact.
Where to use it
Distance fishing. The useful version of any rig depends on ground, tide run, bait size and casting requirement.
Typical target species
Cod, rays. These are common associations rather than an exclusive list.
Choosing components
Match hooks, swivels, clips, trace material and lead arrangement to the intended casting load and target fish. Inspect knots and metal components before fishing.
Rig safety
Use purpose-made sea-fishing components rated for the casting weight, include an appropriate shock leader when power casting, and keep hooks controlled while casting and moving around the mark.
