Rigs

[anthony byrne]

Anyone suggest a few rigs for kayak fishing ?

[saving private brian]

if i was you i would buy the sea angler or tsf magazines,,,,they do have good bits on kayaking in there so maybe you might find what you are looking for

Why would kayak angling be any different to shore or small boat angling in terms of rigs?

Exactly,

All depends on what you're after anthony. Generally 3 down rigs for clean bottom fishing ie. a boom or zip slider flowing on your main line with the lead attached. then a 3 down rig attached to a clip swivel flowing behind the lead.

For rough ground you can use a 3 up rig which has the lead at the bottom of the rig and 3 hooks up above it.

Spinning is also very effective in many locations.

Sorry lads I forgot about this thread. Thanks seaniebo just the info I needed . I was out spinning last week on the kayak around the killiney area no takers. I'll be bringing bait next time. Hopefully might produce a few. As for the difference in rigs Jim I found alot of them are just like a flapper rig.
