Q: What's the best end rig arrangement for beaches like ennereilly (assuming bass, ray etc). I'd been using a fairly straightforward single hook trace (and that slides up and down a bit), but I'd seen people ledgering baits hard onto the bottom.
Any thoughts, or at distance does it make any difference any way since the angle of the line will put baits on the sea bed anyway?

For Distance (Ray and Dogs), I like a two hook Golds rig. I have attached a crappy drawing, but it should give you an idea.
You can always fish a flier in close with this rig for flats and maybe a bass.
For Bass fishing I like a 1 hook or 2 hook flapper. Keep it simple. I like to use Flurocarbon for the snoods though.
Hope this helps.

try a pulley loop rig, same principal but you dont have the difficulty in setting swevils to get both hooklengths tensioned and clipped. pretty handy ove rough/mixed ground.

Sounds the business, I've got it fairly straight in my head how it's built but can you throw up a diagram??
Deffo the trickiest part with making a loop/golds/portsmouth rig is tensioning the snoods, this takes the pain out of it alright, nice one :wink:

Hi,
On the topic of adjustable stops I just simply use crimps that are very tight BUT not locked on the mainline. These can be moved up and down the mainline anytime I need to change a snood or the snood stretches and I need to re-tension the rig etc.
Word of warning sometimes the edge of the crimps can graze the rig body so watch out for this - the last thing you want... Using slightly larger crimps (like 80lb) solves this problem.
