How To Tie A Paternoster Rig For Feeder Fishing

The Albright Albright special, and though usually called a knot, it's more precisely a bend. It's a strong fisherman's knot which binds two fishing lines together, both of different diameters. If you want to learn how to tie it, let Wade Bourne of MyOutdoorTV show you how it's done. It's one of the most dependable knots for tying together two lines of unequal dia. (tag.wonderhowto.com)

My Dad likes to have one of his outfits or two rigged with a snap-swivel. The snap makes it simple to connect on either a live bait rig the livie rig will either have a swivel or ring at the top, a wire leadered trolling tempt either skirted, a feather, or hardbody, or wire-leadered live mackerel bait. This rod is a long rod like a Live Fibre M10. The longer length of the rod lets the snap-swivel to sit at the rod tip and the leader length is crafted so that the hooks fit into the harness lug eyes over the reel frame. The rig is secured and does not swing dangerously around. At times this outfit’s snap may get fastened to a dropper rig. (fishingmonthly.com.au)

All rigs are intended to be re-used. But, after a single fishing session a rig can become damaged and can become unsafe to use when the line is damaged. The kind of fishing also plays a part on how re-usable a rig is, as fishing a rock/rough ground mark which will take more of a toll on rigs and terminal tackle than fishing on a clean, sandy beach. It’s so important to check each rig after a fishing session to ensure it’s still in a usable condition. Rinse the rig in cold water to take off salt which will clog up spins and corrode metal and dry off extra water with kitchen roll. Check all of the line to ensure there aren’t nicks or cuts which will clearly weaken it. (britishseafishing.co.uk)

Most sea fish won’t take a bait well off the sea bed, so you may be able to rectify this with a stubby paternoster with its snoods close to the lead weight and nearer the sea bed. With the stumpy snoods and shorter rig body, it’s more practical from a crowded pier and more suited to the overhead, offground or standing start cast. It’s also an ideal pier scratching rig for early in the New Year when the small species remain. (gofishing.co.uk)

The ledger aka the dropper or paternoster is a good simple general function rig that may be used in most situations where long distance casts aren’t needed. You may be able to have as many droppers as you like but majority of people will fish with between 1 and 3 with 2 being the common. By using spins and neoprene stop knots on this variant of the ledger rig we’re able to create a more adaptable rig as the individual trace droppers may be moved up and down the rig body to what ever position is suited to your specific fishing situation. You may be able to as an alternative use fixed crimps in place of the stop knots. (fishingrigz.com)

Still another paternoster variation this rig does offer some benefits over the rigs already mentioned above. A wishbone rig as it names suggests has two short snoods side by side which look for all the world like a wish bone you could find in a turkey or something. This is where it gets its name. The major advantage this rig offers is it presents two small baits close together. This gives a big scent trail akin to using a much bigger bait but presents two small baits which smaller fish will be able to take if they find it. If a big fish comes across this rig they’ll frequently engulf both baits now. (traleebayseaangling.ie)

Usually check your rig throughout your fishing session. Nicks and abrasions are the most important thing that you have to check your line for. If you find deep cuts in your leader or major line change your leader. But, if they re in your major line, you have to cut your rig off. Make sure to cut off above the damaged line, then re-tie your rig. This can be annoying but it s much better to be safe than sorry; because guaranteed, that one time you get lazy and don t change it, the fish of a lifetime will swim by and pick up your bait – then break off at the weak part of your line.

Just about the best rig for casting long distances happens to be the simplest clipped rig to make and that s the Pulley rig. The clip that holds the hook bait close to the lead may be a simple wire lead link with a fitted bait clip, a Bait Shield or you may be able to use an affect lead which is the variant I favor. Tie the lead link on the end of a 60lb rig body line, slide on a bead, then a Pulley bead, then another bead, then tie on a swivel The affect lead is clipped on the lead link and the hook length is tied to the swivel it needs to be somewhat shorter than the rig body. Clip your major line on the swivel that’s on the Pulley Bead, clip the hook to the affect lead and you’re prepared to go No complex stop knots, no tension springs, the Pulley rig is simplicity itself.
