conger rig

[fergal]

what type of rig should i use for congers. i'll be fishing very snaggy ground and im not sure wheter to make a pulley rig or a more fixed type. i'll incorperate a rotten bottom into it but can anyone provide a drawing or decent picture of what i should be making?

[roger de dodger]

it depend on how far you want to cast and what size bait ?conger like mac head and guts not the most pleasant thing to wollop out :roll:

[fergal]

i'll be using mackerel heads and want to cast it out a bit but a power cast wont be necesary

[roger de dodger]

you could use a pulley rig or just use a swivel on your leader and attach your snood to that though you wont cast to far with it it tends not to tangle too much

running ledger with a snood of 100lb mono and a 3/4 oz weight.

[fergal]

is 100lb mono ok or do i need wire. if i do go with mono, should i tie it or crimp it?

[beachcaster]

tie it with a palomar knot crimps weaken the line and you dont need to use wire only for something like blue shark.i have taken conger to 30lb on 100 lb mono and had no problems.
