New improvised Swan River SP rig
Submitted by Joodles on Mon, 2013-01-14 09:15
Check out this bunky I pulled off a snag whilst wading the Swan...
looks like 30lb braid straight through, a few swivels and clips, a lump of a lead and Gulp grub on the end
I can just picture old mate down at his local tackle store going "nah mate, plastics just aren't working for me'!

Yep, woulda thawt the blowies
Yep, woulda thawt the blowies woulda eatn the placcy off if it was gulp....that setup would work, just wiukdnt use lead head hook tho, gulp is as good as bait, I leave gulp armed rods in the rod holder at night and they get fish
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

That works
With a current that plastic would have been dancing. I have caught heaps of fish in thf boat and land based this way. Usually I sit some bait below it aswell and I don't use a jig head just a hook

I think its more about giving
I think its more about giving yourself the best chance possible of getting results. That was the first rule of fishing I was taught.
No problem with the concept of the rig, moreso with the hardware and line used.

no but... my dad (when i was a kid) always used to clip a squid jig on his swivel (at the end of his main line) when he was using a paternoster rig fishing for whiting, skippy etc in geographe bay, he always caught a fare few squid as 'by catch'... might have to try that out next time I'm down there
