fredflathead Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Going to Durras Lakes for 2 weeks, staying caravan park that one side is the beach and the other is the lake. I have everything for the lake for flathead ok it is the beach that I need some advice. My gear is 12ft rod (several), Alvey reels and large spinning reels. I bought a paternoster rig for whiting which has loop knots, my questions looking at surf rigs they use a 3way swivel which is the better to use. Target fish is whiting and bream. thanks norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Inc Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I use loop knots on my spin reels and swivels on my alveys to help reduce line twist. Learn to tie your own loop knots, it's super easy and I find the ready made rigs come with too heaver line especialy for whiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredflathead Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I have a jig that I tie my loop knots, also have Alvey reels and can see why you would you swivels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Try using two small black crane swivels 6 inches apart and you should keep the twist out..rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
