Eddie's paternoster rig

[viperon1982]

Thought I'd like to share the rig I use for most if not all of my fishing \"expeditions\". The 3 inset photos are taken from Uncle Kerry, a hardcore surfcaster from Singapore. The rig I use is based on what I've learnt from Kiara as well as Kerry's own surf-fishing rig. Check out his rigs and catches at the following site:

http://www.shoreangler.8m.com/shopping_page.html

This rig is a simpler version that does not require elaborate sleeves, crimping, wires, 3 way swivels, complicated knots and the like. It is real quick to tie and has not failed me so far, proven by the threaddie and stingray that I caught recently.

Take note that the hook line may be tied higher up than what is shown, but because I'm targetting stingrays, I tend to have it real low.

This rig is perhaps best used with heavier leaders 20lbs and up as lighter lines tend to coil around each other much too easily.

Would certainly appreciate any feedback on how this rig may be improved or if it's flawed somehow!

Cheers,

Another tip I got from Kerry! This CD wallet is great to store ready-made rigs so the next time you're busted, you don't need to waste precious time tying new leaders! All u need to do is clip it on the main line, attach a sinker and off u go! [img size=375]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/CD_wallet.jpg

ehe. good on ya viper .

feral, the knot's never failed me yet . makes it easier to change sinkers if you need to,and if you're fishing over nasty snags, does minimise unnecessary tackle loss.

Yeap, like what Adrian said, the granny knot has yet to fail for the two of us. As long as you have at least 2 turns of the overhand knot instead of the usual 1, it holds great. Quite a few websites do recommend it as a simple but really good knot.

Heya bro, it's 830am here and time to go back to Anaconda for the sale! hahaha.. man.. sale's are evil!!!

i use the same knot to tie doubles when it's too rough or dark to tie a bimmini twist, but i take the line through the loop 6 times, never had any problems with them.

[Cowfish13]

I do the grany knot 3 times and it is still yet to fail me. Landed some of my best fish with that knot.

[viperon1982]

Great to know you guys never had problems with it! That's very reassuring!

Perhaps your ex's father is Kerry? haha!

I've been here for 3 years without going back to Singapore and I only started fishing last year-end! Perhaps its in our blood? :laugh:

[namyau]

hahahha nah dont think so heheeh - yeah its prob in ya blood heheheh... its pretty good but not suitable for my gear so i never use it

[viperon1982]

Yeap, it's meant strictly for bait. Doesnt apply to SPs or HBs.

[namyau]

i ment for my rods and reels ive only got light spin gear

[viperon1982]

U can actually use this rig for light spin gear. All u gotta do is half the leader length and as long as ur hook line is near the sinker, u prob wouldn't have that many tangles.

[namyau]

true but im tooo lazy so i just rig it up for sp all the time. at the most ill set up a running ball sinker and a #4 allrounder hook hehehhee - i dont think there is anyone more lazy then i am hehheh

[Cowfish13]

I use that rig all the time out in the bay for my light spin gear (10lb).
