Agree with jd about using simple rigs.

I'd also add that I use a running ledger with light gear (carp or estuary rod with 1-2 oz weight) whenever conditions permit. Use the lightest gear you can get away with.

For hooks, unless I want to pick up other species, I usually use a pennel with 2/0 hooks or a single 3/0 or 4/0 hook. Simple aberdeens, unless I'm using big crabs.

Best advice I can give (not related to rigs) is to keep moving. Find the fish, don't rely on them finding you. When you find them, follow them. Travel light. Lighter gear helps with this.

A general one hook paternoster is supposed to be the best rig for bass or a three hook flapper lobbed into the surf :lol:

Flappers will almost almost always catch bass on the bottom hook, in my experience. I guess this is why the 1 up 1 down works well.

A running ledger can be good where the tide isnt running too hard, try it with a 6+oz lead so that the fish is hooked well when he makes a run with the big lead

I'd use three rigs normally.

A running ledger for short range work.

A basic single snood paternoster for sandeel and worm baits. These can be adapted to pennells for crab, razor and large fish baits. I tend to use 15-20lb flourocarbon for the snoods, and 40lb amnesia for the rig body. Keep the bits and bobs on the rig body to a minimum - use small clear beads to trap swivels, small crimps, and dull colored small swivels rather than great big shiny ones.

A running paternoster also works well, as the fish won't immediately feel the lead when taking the bait.

Bass' mouths are cavernous, so a large hook can be used, a 3/0 or 4/0 would be standard. Varivas big mouth hooks are excellent, particularly for sandeel. The extra gape improves hooking power, but they are very light too which means the action of the bait isn't destroyed.

Use as little lead as possible. 30-90 grammes is about right, and don't use grips unless you really have to.

The only one I use is a single hook short snood 4/0 to 6/0.

I like to keep it simple

2 hook paternoster 6 inch droppers in surf although I've caught one on droppers shorter than that using a 3 hook flapper.

my normal one is the 2 hook with short droppers as there is less to go wrong in surf that way
