Fishing Rigs

The Two hook paternoster.

This rig is useful for a wide variety of species, and in its clipped down version will allow baits to be cast a good distance. This rig is an excellent choice for Queenies, KBL and Whiting

The Cable-Car Rig

This rig is very popular for Jetty or Pier fishing where you are on high ground and it basically secures any live bait and allows them to swim freely at about 2-3 feet below surface. This rig targets pelagics (Fish that live in mid-water or close to the surface) like Queenie, Braacuda, Wolf Herring and Barrmundi (KBL).

As you can see, you would first do a cast of your sinker attached to your main line via a swivel. Once that is done all you need to do is to attach your "Cable-Car" .. a live bait rigged onto a hook and leader via a snap-swivel. Let the bait slide down the tightened mainline.

Do note that you need to be dilligently guarding your tackle because during hook-ups you need to strike at the right time to have the hook set in sufficiently. You might want to strike a few times during retrive and fight.

Do not let the line slaken as that will most likely result in a lost fish.
