RIGS TO TRY
If you want to get into light rock fishing,
here are some great rigs to get you started
SPLIT SHOT RIG
Tie on your hook and rig it with
a soft lure, and then pinch on
one or more split shot.
The closer you have the shot to
the lure, the more control you
will have over it. The further
you have the shot from the lure,
the less control, but it adds a
weightless element to the rig.
Another method is to tie the
hook with a Palomar knot.
Leave a tag end of about an
inch and pinch on some shot
close to the hook. This should
make your chosen lure stand
up on the seabed.
DROPSHOT RIG
Dropshotting can reduce tackle losses because
you can fix your lure to hover above the weed.
The idea is to cast out and allow the weight
to hit the seabed. Tighten your line and start to
twitch the rod tip while reeling slowly. This is
deadly for flounders and other bottom-feeding
species. Use 5-6ft of 8lb fluorocarbon leader.
