freedom elite 0 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 do you put your bottom hook below your sinker on paternoster style rig snapper15.4kg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snapper15.4kg 67 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yes, if there is only whiting about, However, by haveing all 3 hooks above, often I pick up mullet , tommies or salmon trout as well, if they are about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snapper15.4kg 67 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Bearing in mind, that when one is casting from the beach, your trace is at an angle in commparison to droping a line straight down from a boat or jetty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wishing2Bfishing 0 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 i normally put a hook above the sinker and a hook below. the one below i put on a reasonably short trace or i find it tends to tangle, especially if it is reasonably deep water. i make all my own rigs though, i dont buy them. the only rigs i have bought are those snapper flasher rigs. way cheaper to do it yourself and u can make them to suit you and the conditions plus you know what quality the hooks, line, swivels etc are.

4THALOVE 45 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 single patternoster, size 2/4 long shank hook above sinker, since the limit of kg's per person has dropped to 12 fish using 2 hooks means i can only drop it to tha bottom 6 times if i get double headers whiting whackers are crap and never use burley keep it simple cheers 4THA Double Trouble, Cleaver and Chief 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

statesquider 0 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 When the whiting are thick I find a simple paternoster rig with one dropper thmost efficient. Generally just use long shanks in size 6 or 4 depending on the size of the kg's.I have used circles with some success but I have not used them enough to be fully confident. I think there is a time and a place for both of these hooks. I alternate their usage depending on the tactics i'm using.Once I have used up all of my pre-tied ones I will exclusively tie my own. Nothing better than a hook you've tied yourself, full confidence fishing! Cleaver and 4THALOVE 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afishyfish 4 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Not sure why you wouldnt' have two droppers SS ?At least you cover fish feeding right on the sand and those a bit higher up ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One flapping fish at a time is easier to measure and re-bait 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When they are hard to come by then i use tactics to increase my chances. Double twisted paternoster rig is my go to, 20lb trilene clear at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wahoo 146 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Been using single dropper paternosters since I got a size 4 longshank firmly embedded in the ball of my thumb courtesy of a vigorous 40+cm KGW. So it's a twisted dropper single paternoster for me with size 4 circles. I tie all mine and the fair ones rigs. Apart from sabiki style flasher rigs I don't think I've ever purhased a pre tied rig for anything.When I'm having a quiet late afternoon I'll sit and tie traces and rigs while imbibing a few cold amber fluids!

lewie 8 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I bought one of the Black Magic Whiting Whackers more out of curiosity than anything. I've been fishing two rods the last few trips - one with a whiting whacker and the other with a standard paternoster rig with size 6 long shank hooks. I have caught quite a few on the whiting whacker but reckon I have lost more than I normally would have. I still prefer the long shank hook as opposed to circles for whiting.

ShimsMan 1 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Tying rigs at home with a couple brews is great fun! Been using running sinker rigs with a snelled, beaded no.4 long shanks myself.Are those Sabiki's any good? I've seen them cheap at Kmart lately.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 i fish from shore predominantly.. so a light running sinker hook above hook below.. and when real calm and glassy.. no sinker at all.. just the hooks swivels and bait.. guess all the paternoster rids are generally jetty/boat fishers?
