Best Overall Rig

#1 Post by steveoel »

Ok lads another brain teaser
:wink:
Which rig would you say is the best overall rig, the rig that if you could only use one rig for the rest of your life would you choose??

For me it has to be the 3 hook flapper, but i have a lot to learn yet so that may change!!!! :lol: :lol:

there is no best rig. there are different rigs for different situations.

if i really had to choose one, it would be a golds/loop rig. very versatile design, can be made up to target both big and small fish.
