- How to make the U.Ks best simple and effective Bass rig.
This rig is so simple at was recommended by a very well know bass angler. Fish are spooked by complicated christmas tree type terminal tackle and this rig keeps things simple
You could also consider the double running paternoster though it is not specifically a specialist bass rig by putting a smaller hook on the bottom snood its good for picking up flounder
Fantastic video. There are literally hundreds of rig videos available on here but the production on this one is great! Looking forward to seeing more!
+Alan Martin Thank you very much for saying that , A lot of work goes in to producing these sometimes i think it would be quicker to go out fishing for the day !
Running paternoster rig, very effective for bass, brilliant video 👍
Only difference I make is I use around 8 clear beads just forms a simple boom I find it stops the hook length from twisting around the lead length of line
Used this rig for a very long time.
Prefer 2 (dark) beads between the swivels as it acts as a mini boom while readying to cast helping the bait and lead to move around one another rather than tangling.
landed a 12 pounder on this one simple is best do the fish know?
So I'd have to use 25lb + mainline or the rotten bottom link won't work?
Is Barrel sinker good for this rig?
Hmm could do but I prefer a wider weight for Sussex shore marks because the slimmer weights fall between boulders and get snagged
Do you make your lead link longer than the hooklength or visa versa, or does it not matter? As a newbie I’m thinking about tangling.
Great question depends on the ground. Long lead line where there are big boulders , shorter where it’s shallow and snaggier
Anybody else wondering how you attach a stone as a weight instead of a lead😮
Good point ! If you cant find a stone the right size with a hole in it- Use a barrel knot failing that a BOB (butch of bastards) wrap round and round using loads of overhand knots.
@@SaltwaterAngler I would never have beleived that ther was a rational answer / explanation to my comment.Thankyou.
Fantastic, I use a similar rig with a sliding ledger with a pulley bead, very easy to make up too, during the spring run I caught a couple of kippers. 😊
What are we putting on the hook?
Peeler crab
I am going to give that one a go in the spring. 👍🏻
I was looking for some quick and simple rigs to make with the kids. Made these yesterday and within 2 mins of casting I caught a decent black bream!! 👍
That’s great news - my favourite comment of the week !
Yes bream do tend to swim a bit off the bottom so its ideal
Good wee rig!
If any of you guys are looking for a very long casting rig try the pulley rig!
Excellent... I'll have a go this weekend. 👍
You should put a surgeon knot loop on the bottom to allow for weight change if the tide picks up
Top tip !
So the mainline has to be at least 25lb or you would snap off before the lead?
Fantastic video great information I actually use this type if rig for beach fishing caught many a whiting on a exactly the same as this once again thanks for the great advice much appreciated
thats interesting might have to try it for different species too
That will be a handy one for the kayak in the next couple of weeks ill be out. Cheers
Hi David, Yea great rig that One been passed down for couple of generations now - Enjoy your Yacking
Oh I will buddy you know it. I'm out in the shed shorting out hooks now 😉
🎉 i fished this rig as a child 50 years ago for Eels, i used pebbles in finger bandage tied direct to main line, couldnt afford leads, no idea on hook i used, they came in packs of 10 pre tied to swivels
@@Anthonyinkz love it
Thanks for the video, I used this rig on a estuary in west wales a d caught nothing but crab after crab! Will a bass go after a bait being eaten by crab?
Oh no more crabs 🦀 we’ve all been suffering
Of course it will, crab is one of a basses natural food if you think about it.
Many thanks for the clear video. Taking a couple of hours to make-up rigs for the summer, and this is one I'll be making a couple of for the tackle box. Just a question about the 'rotten bottom' aspect of this rig. Surely the breaking strain of the hook length is irrelevant? - if the lead snags the only important relationship is the relative breaking strain of the lead length and the leader-main line? You could have an 8lb hook length and 80lb lead line and the hook length won't feel any pressure pulling out a snagged lead. But 20lb hook length and 20lb main line and it's 50:50 which one will give.
Thanks George- yes so I kind of need to show what happens in a video regards the thickness of lines- the main thing I’d add is the leader line should be fluorocarbon and if anything is going to give it needs to be the weight
what size circle hook would you recommend for this rig ?
Ideally I would use a big 6/0 crab hook- wide gaped. I’ve missed some big fish with circle hooks so came away from using them last few years. So I’m not really able to advise but generally , for bass they will take a huge hook in their massive mouths.
Maybe a silly question but what bait do you use on this for Bass?
Not a silly question - this is well suited to peeler crab- but adjust hook size for any bait size or type
A late reply...I use virtually the same set up but use two ft of rig line instead of using the main leader line and then a bead below and above the lead swivel so it's sort of self hooking
👍
Good idea for a rig that..
Any tips for a bass ledger rod would be appreciated..
Cheers
Cheers, In the past I’ve used carp rods or the flatty fanatic as my go too. Now though I’d consider lighter continental rods with the extra length useful. The Cinnetic we reviewed on the channel is a good choice
Should imagine this rig would be ideal in calmer conditions were the bass tend to take the bait slower...you would have direct contact with hook so feel the bite develop....think I would use braid for mainline...reckon you would get even more feel for the bite if you use it.....great vid by the way...
Good points Chris
Hi Matt .could you use a rotten bottom clip link in place of the lead swivel. then you can use a heavy weight if needed.
Yes good idea, I do this too
Great instructional video. Just one question... do you not find that the line with the bait gets entangled around the line with the weight?
Thanks, good question no I’ve not found that personally.,The rig assumes your not casting far which helps
Hello Marc,
Thank you for sharing. How far can you cast with this rig? Any chance hook wraparound on main line?
It’s not a rig for long casting. Designed as a gentle lob out for bass
Would this rig work off a beach for the bass in the surf? I’m assume it would
Hi Pete yes but designed for a gentle lob
Would this rig be ok for beach casting & what bait do you use great video
Not ideal for beach casting , gentle lob with crab , mackerel fillets or head
Very simple and clear for thsi rookie. Thanks!
Thanks , yes and for experienced anglers too excellent rig this
Yeah I like it nice and simple but effective , it should work a treat in the menai straits 😉🎣👍
its a great rig
What bait would you use for that mate?
Best suited for Peeler crab
Nice simple rig,would work well with a circle hook.
Yep, and you can vary the lengths to suit conditions.
Always keep it simple...
What hook size did you use? it also looks like a semi circle?
Thanks for making the vids ... always great to watch!
Hook choice depends on bait and size but I do like the wide gapped 4/0 crab hooks for pealers
@@SaltwaterAngler
Thanks for the reply.
yer you’re right there re the wide gapped ones for crabs
2/0 & 4/0 trebles should see me through any live baiting I’m going to do. ...

Great Rig, Use it in N Wales with great success.
Nice one Martin
Brilliant video mate.
What breaking strain mainline would you recommend with this set up please?
18 where i fish but more or less depending on how many snaggy rocks
@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks for the rapid reply mate.
Appreciate your advice.
Tight lines
been using for years on a boat
👍
Sorry for the newbie question but are you using mono or braided line please?
I'd use fluorocarbon now for the snood (the line attached to the hook) and monofilament for the line to the weight. The mainline is fluorocarbon usually
@@SaltwaterAngler thanks for the reply. I'll give that a go. Nice simple rig.
What about Carolina rig ?
Not for Sussex boulders and mixed ground no- This rig is similar, but without a longer length to keep the hook up a Carolina type rig would snag
We call it in Dutch Jo-Jo line
ahh how interesting ive learnt that now cheers
Hi mate, I fish on the fylde coast, not had a bass this year however there has been a lot caught.. would you reccomend that rig of casting onto clean sand? Cheers Tom
Yes, but not if you are power casting.
There are some gullies that fill up so might be worth a lob out when the tides on the flood with a rolling lead. I'll give it a bash👍
If you need them few extra yards on clean ground then try a normal running ledger
Hi how far I to the surf for bass sorry fresh water background?
I can’t overstate how close in bass will come , I’ve watched schoolies a foot from the shore and the biggest fish I’ve had he been within 5 -10 meters . So in short you don’t NEED to cast far but in Ireland I used to cast between the third and fourth breaker at inch strand but also saw fish swim behind me when I was wading ! Read the beach and cast accordingly over the first couple of breakers is a good start though.
Saltwater Angler that’s so helpful thanks
Get to the point quicker pal. Sorry but your video drones on too long and doesn't explain or show your rig properly. Very frustrating.
No worries old video this one. Many improvements made over the years
Why are you talking about a 6 oz lead if you only intend to use a 3oz. I would also use 15lb for the weaker line.
The 6oz lead was mentioned as the sort of max big weight you would usually need a lead clip for. It was to demonstrate that you DINT want a big weight for this set up. However you can vary the line strengths but it’s definitely designed for close in fishing not any sort of power cast .
@@SaltwaterAngler I think you have complicated what should have been a simple video.
Lol

Can u do a pulley Pennel Rig?
+Ethan Smith sure there are three that i have done ua-cam.com/video/2EK3fsLZjAw/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/TR9yqyhGQPE/v-deo.html and
ua-cam.com/video/aTX-dyqZJew/v-deo.html all of which could incorporate a pennel in ti the pulley system. I like the pulley that i used i. The bass pulley video best but the most recent one by gemini is also good
I don't want to sound too stupid here but what hook bait do you find most effective for bass
Live prawn, live mackerel, pealer, lug, mackerel head. All depends on the tide conditions and what they are feeding on at the time. There are dozens more hook baits too. Peer crab over rocks and mixed ground. Lug in the surf but live bait can be the most effective. Confusing isnt it! Where are you fishing?
@@SaltwaterAngler I'm fishing down the south east, in Kent, so some shores aren't too snaggy but are rocky in areas, mixed ground and not too deep
Pealer is a good place to start. I found a book called bass fishing on shore anssmd sea by John darling invaluable and its got a good section on bait. Also have you got our bass ebook? Can send you a copy
I don't like your knot - I've had fish that'd pull that out
Thanks Ritalin -Interested in the alternative ?
