Using a pulley rig

[ausea 4]

As requested i have put up the info for a pulley rig but others may see what these do and how easy they are to make your own.For me i still use 4 or 6oz star sinkers for goolwa or waitpinga.I have tried various clips for pulley rigs but these are the simplest to make and use.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUBIMcwsi2Q&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpRXdGhuRjc

Pulleys rigs are great, the only rig I use for surf and lb fishing for bigger species. I like using the IMP clips myself which are hard to source here and when you can get them they're expensive, so I get mine from overseas.

Pulley rigs certainly work well.One situation where they are useful is when distance is required, or casting into a headwind as the rig is streamlined behind the sinker.The other place where they shine is in rocky areas. If you keep the hook trace quite short in relation to the sinker trace, the hook is kept above the rocks/reef. When a fish hooks up, the fish pulls on the hook trace, which then "pulleys" the sinker up to the top swivel, and hard up against the casting leader. This means that there is no longer a sinker dangling below the fish to catch on rocks or reef as it is pulled in.I use a type of sinker that has a hook release built in, that cannot accidentally unclip before the bait hits the water, although I also use the Gemini rig clips particularly when fishing rougher ground.Here is a link to a similar Gemini product that uses the locking clip systemhttp://www.fishermansheadquarters.com/tt_gemini-bait-clips.htmAnd here is another link:http://www.shoreangler.co.uk/Reviews/RigsAndBits/Gemini/Gemini-Splashdown.phpPulley rigs work a treat for most larger species including land based snapper Regards,SB
