floater rig, myora rig !

[noname]

i know a few people here use plastics a lot, and will prob say what tha, i use these type of rigs a lot offshore when i do go offshore, but mostly a floater, i havent heard of many people talking about different rigs to much so i thought i would put it out there

What is a Myora rig? Never heard of it before.

I ususally use a floater with the sinker running in between the hooks and the swivel with great success. Tend only to use paternoster when specifically targetting pearl perch in 60+ M water.

it's bit of a sneaky rig.you have your mainline, sinker, swivel, then leader and hook or hooks,i use in shallow as well as deep water over 120 mtrs. you simply hold on to the bait whilst you drop the sinker over the side, wait for it to hit the bottom, then over with your bait, and let it loft down, best to use these rigs while anchored, can almost guarantee your bait will not get to the hook or hooks, before you get a strike

my old man has used that rig on the inside of moreton on the coffee rocks and scored a 23lb snapper on a hairtail for bait...so it works:)

ah it works alright, a mighty snap!made his day i bet lol:cheer:

im very interested in this tecnique.. when flesh fishing or using a bait, i prefer to use no sinker at all. usually a hook on a leader tied to main line with albright knot. but there is lots of times that this rig wont work because of wind or current.. But this myora rig is the answer..

Hi Noname, long shot as this is a very old post, but if you are still on the forum, could you advise if you the myora while drifting, or anchoring - or both. I usually fish in 40 to 80 metres off Perth on and after direction bank - Thanks

Hi ericl1947, welcome to the site

noname is nomore, on this site anyway      to quote from above { ......you drop the sinker over the side, wait for it to hit the bottom, then over with your bait, and let it loft down, best to use these rigs while anchored }

if you used this method while drifting (depending on current/wind etc) your bait/hooks would be ripped down to the bottom thereby negating the floating effect
