Squid strips on a patanoster rig


Spooooled

Recommended Posts

Try this one, it gets tangled much less often than a paternoster at the beach.

line

swivel

~14inches of heavy trace

a swivel slipped onto the trace so that it can slide up and down the trace

on the other end of the trace, tie a snap swivel with a big "snap"

a star sinker or snapper sinker in the "snap"

so then, on the running swivel mentioned above, tie another ~14 inch trace

with some big hooks on the other end (if you can tie a sliding snell on the first hook, all the better: you'll be able to match the hook placements directly to each bait that you use).

I prefer star sinkers if there is heavy swell or big cross-current along the beach, otherwise I use a snapper sinker for better feeling of bites.

Usually I have to use a knife to expand the hole in the snapper sinker to get the snap-swivel through the snapper sinkers.

Make sure your knots are really tight (there are five knots here, and if any fail, you'll lose your fish and part of your rig), but trim the tags short to lessen the tangling.

Good luck!
