Best Multi Purpose Rig.

[someguy2k]

I undecided on what would be the best all purpose rig for landbased fishing. I reckon it is a toss up between the paternoster and running sinker rig. What are your opinion(s)?

You've asked a question with no answer. There's no such thing as 'all purpose'. Sometimes a paternoster will be better, sometimes a running sinker, sometimes neither will suit. If it came to it and I was on a desert island with only 1 rig it would be a running sinker rig as it can be fished in more ways... on the bottom, drifting in the wash, etc.

Cheers, Slinky

100% agree with Slinky here, your rig is dictated by many variables, you must be prepared to change your rig as conditions change...

[the one that got away]

I prefer running sinker rig.
