How it works

Mobile method using plugs, metals or soft plastics; match lure weight to wind, depth and current.

Where to use it

Rock, harbour, surf, estuary. The useful version of any rig depends on ground, tide run, bait size and casting requirement.

Typical target species

Bass, pollack, mackerel, coalfish. 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.
