TWO RIGS FOR
ARTIFICIALS
Using lures is popular for catching many species
of fish when boat fishing – try these rig options
Lure design evolves, but how
we present them doesn’t. In
general, a soft lure is worked
off a tube boom, which not
only presents the lure so
it doesn’t tangle, but also
carries the lead weight.
Whether you use a plastic
or wire boom, the aim is to
minimise the risk of the long
trace getting wrapped around
the mainline. While a plastic
boom slides on the mainline,
a metal boom can be tied to
the end of your leader, with a
sinker added to the bottom
with a 6in length of mono. A
hooklength of 10-12ft is ideal.
HOOKLENGTH
Use a 10-12ft of
25lb mono line.
BOOM
Tubi boom
with weight.
METAL BOOM
French wire boom.
LURE CHOICE
Tie lure to end of
the hooklength.
OPTIONAL WEAK LINK
Sinker on a 6in length of weaker line.
