The two best times to fish is when it's rainin' and when it ain't.

for general alround bass fishin a size 2/0 aberdeen on a single hook clipped down or pulley rig should cover most situations... i also use a 2 hook flapper/clipped rig with 1/0 aberdeen for schoolies and for really big baits i use a pulley rig with a 4/0 pennel... :wink:

Thanks for the help lads plenty to try out now a pulley might be handy because sometimes i fish over rough ground so it would do no harm!! Usually i use 2 hooked clipped down rigs but i think its my hook sizes that were letting me down! hopefully ill have better luck now!! Cheers for the help :D
