Rigs

More about Rigs

• Deadbait Rigs: Deadbait rigs are a type of fishing rig that are designed to present dead bait to fish, particularly predatory fish like pike, musky, and catfish. They typically consist of a single or treble hook attached to a wire trace, which helps to prevent the fish from biting through the line. Deadbait rigs can be fished either below a float or on the bottom using a weight. They are an effective way to target larger fish that prefer to feed on dead or dying prey.

• Drop Shot Rigs: Drop shot rigs are a popular rig used in bass fishing. They are designed to present soft plastic baits at various depths. The rig consists of a hook tied to the main line, with a weight attached below the hook to keep the bait at the desired depth. The hook is usually tied in a way that allows the bait to stand up off the bottom, making it more visible to the fish. Drop shot rigs are often used in clear water or when fish are in a neutral or negative feeding mood.

• Lure Harnesses: Lure harnesses are a type of fishing rig used to troll lures for fish species such as walleye, pike, and musky. They typically consist of a leader with two or more hooks attached to it, along with a spinner or blade to create flash and vibration to attract fish. The hooks are usually tipped with live bait, such as a minnow or nightcrawler, to increase their effectiveness. Lure harnesses are effective in covering large areas of water and locating actively feeding fish.

• Spinning Traces: Spinning traces are a type of fishing line used in spinning reels. They are typically made of nylon or other synthetic materials that are strong, durable, and have low memory, meaning they do not retain the shape of the spool after being wound up. This allows the line to flow smoothly and easily off the spool during casting, enabling the angler to cast the lure or bait farther and with greater accuracy. Spinning traces are an essential component of spinning reels and are suitable for a wide range of fishing conditions and target species.
