Sliding Bait Rig
Have been aware of sliding bait / flying fox rig setup's. Not 100% sure of full rig setup and using such a rig.
Firstly I know you need to cast a sinker (80 odd gram grapple) out and have it well secured on bottom.
Secondly a weighted bait is clipped onto this line.
Questions; What type of clip is used to secure weighted bait onto main line?
How is the best why to attach weight & what type of sinker/weight to use?
Should a barrel swivel be placed about 1.5 metres up from main sinker to stop bait from sitting on the bottom?
Is there any footage available to see a rig setup?
Have a 13 foot beach rod with a Alvey Elite surf 600BC 30 pd line mono
Plan on using a small float on dead baits & also trying to slide out live baits.
Hoping someone with some experience can give me some advice on the do's & don'ts.
Will ask at tackle shop next time I'm in one.

Thanks for the info. Found
Thanks for the info. Found some good sites and handy tips. Now just a case of shopping for the right gear hopefully at a reasonable price.
Is it worthwhile making own rigs or purchasing ready made.

Make your own
Make your own rig's but you can buy the slide clips. Try one of the site sponsors and explain how you want to use them.
Most guy's use the " Non Return Clips" but there are a few types .

Cheers to the guys at
Cheers to the guys at Oceanside Tackle had all the right gear I needed. Not like some of these large "WE HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED" stores.
shopping with a small retailer does pay off and ya get the right advice with no hassle.
