cod rig

[twinkle]

have to go with eric here the only bait that works all the time on the boat for codling is macks has never let me down it gives out a better scent than most baits because of the oils it releases in the water

thats expensive bragging rights! 200 yo yos a head could buy a box of cod for that or 6 boxes of peeler crab lol

[seanie35]

this thread now asks another question which would be more skillfull, to catch the biggest cod or the most cod

good footage the white bait whatever it is almost glows

[twinkle]

all the kfc chicken glows in iceland they import it from chernobyl

[roger de dodger]

imagine getting a pesky Bass when cod fishing hate that i think i,d just give up i use a two snood double pennel clipped up rig for clean ground (one bait nailed to the bottom ) and a pully rig (not penneled )for the rough stuff with a 5/0 or 6/0 aderdeen and i take two sugars and milk in my tea (nice strong tea )

Barrys or Lyons

BARRYS the best thing made in cork EVER

just watching that vid and think the "owner" of them hooks could do with a few new ones they dont seem too sharp no wonder iceland has such good cod fishing makes trawling look barbaric in comparison ,at least someone can look after their natural resourses ,even if they are bankrupt as a country,i think thier fishing industry is all they have left now,i dont think they even lock the banks at night any more

[twinkle]

and were not too far behind them we could be all out fishing for food if this keeps up

[Martin Mc Gowan]

ya i have to say i agree it's all down to venue whats around and distance

Why does it have to be a pennel. Why not a three hook clipped or flapper.

Traces depend on venue, conditions and bait being used.

Venue demanded heavy leads, big casts & big baits. Pulley pennell ticked all the boxes!

Which venue

Cos a 3 hook flaper will not stand a chanc with a big cod on it and u won't get much distans with 3 big baits it's just not a big fish rig

Is that right shane.

What if you used 200lb mono for the trace body and 150lb snoods with 6/0 hooks.

Would that not be able to handle a big cod... all 2lb or so of it.

What if you dont need distance will a three hook flapper not be good enough then. What if the fish are 30 yards out will you not be able to cast a three hook flapper that distance.

As for not being able to get three big baits out at distance I would be confident that I can get three big baits out as far as is needed on most venues.

A flapper is not a big fish rig.......... I caught a stingray of around 100lb off fenit peir on a 3 hook flapper a couple of years ago on a size two kamasan and 20lb amnesia snood. I suppose thats not a big fish

A 14lb Bass in youghal when fishing with a three hook flapper for cod two years ago.



What I trying to say here lads is that there is no one trace for all situations and anyone that says there is is a cabbage

When deciding on a trace at a particular time you need to think of the species you are after, venue you are on, distance you need to fish at size/ type of your bait and the conditions you arer fishing in amoung other things.
