LIVECAST MOVING HOOK RIG – ZANDERFISHING WITH FILETS

Description

Strips of fish fillet or fish skin can be a superb bait for fishing for all predatory fish – including zander. At times it can be superior to softbaits – and if the fish repeatedly do not take your softbait, it can often be the natural smell and appearance of a fillet that triggers the bite on a difficult day.

This livecast moving hook rig designed by Jens Bursell gives the highest possible landing rate: 1) With a combination of the semi-fixed floatstop anchorpoint of the rig and the sliding mount of the hooklink – the hooks can move forward even when the preator locks its jaws over the filet. 2) The loosely dangling superbly exposed small trebles gives maximum chance of getting a good grip plus a superior penetration. With quickchange switch weights it fast to adapt and adjust for optimal casting length, sinking rate and fishing depth. They are mounted directly on FC-trace and the length of the rig can be adjusted by pushing floatstop and powergum stop knot up and down the trace.

In this rig kit you get 25 meter 0,47 mm ACE Riverge highend fluorocarbon for the main trace, 3 packets with Switch Weights Tungsten from Westin at 3,5 – 5- and 7 grams. Additionally you get 25 x 5 mm welded solidrings, 20 x  #1 split rings from Owner in regular wire, 1 packet of Owner ST36 BC X sz 8 (front hook) one package of Owner STX38 ZX sz. 10 (rear hook), one package of Stonfo Bait elastics sz 1, 1 packet of SPRO Shad Stinger Spikes, 1 packet of S.F.G. scilicone float stops sz XXXL (semi-fixed moving hook floatstop), 1 bag of clear stop beads, 1 packet of Drennan Floatstop size M to be used as the semi-fixed anchorpoint for the moving hook effect in the front and 14 lbs Drennan Powergum the front stop knot (this powergum can also be used as alternative semi-fixed moving hook anchor point if float stop gets damaged by predator teeths. You also get a packet with 10 x 0,8 gram slottet tungsten beads. Use 1-3 on the rig. They can also substitute clear stop bead.

Depending on how you combine the items there is at least for 10 rigs in this rig-kit, but as most metal items can be reused it could be up to 20 rigs. Filet is not included…

You get all the details on how to make the moving hook rigs and fish with them – and along the way Jens catches lots of great zander up to 9.9 kilos on fillets.
