sea fishing Drop down rig - YouTube

always had a prob wth this rig pre releasing in flight during the cast,

bob gasgoinge showed me this rig a numb of yrs back realy like the idea of it presenting baits hard on sea bed.

 

[Joe-m]

Works great John my son and some of the lads on shields have been using it and getting results when the tide is strong you have got to pin the bait to the bottom there's a few variations but the wishbone is putting a lot of bait in the same area works good for small species but would stick to a pennel for cod just thought I share it

Cracking vid buddy,been using a variation of the rig "pulley dropper"myself for a num of yrs,gr8 for ray/hound fishing where u want a long flowing snood to present your bait away from your sinker n to keep it hard to sea bed.Better imo than the up n over(dosen't kink your snood)also great for codding(no good in the ruff tho,the hook gets snagged up very easy).Found this rig to work very well in sml tides,gets movement into your hookbait.
Well done on the vid,will be very helpfull to ppl.

The way I use the up n over is to use the gemini rig clip at the top of the rig body,which the snood goes "over"snood then comes dwn to an imp,even with n srt spring u still get horrible kinking of the snood(40lb amnesia).Much prefer the "pulley dropper"
Keep up the gr8 vids mukka n tightlines....

Nice one

Whats the difference between the up nd over rig to the pulley dropper ?

 

[Joe-m]

Mark in a tide pull it is an advantage to have a long trace especially for cod if you fishing at range you need to use a clip down rig the up and over is tied in a couple of variations a sliding ledger or conventional paternoster with a long hook length which is taken up the rig body over a clip such as a inverted quick link and back down to a hook clip or imp just above the weight when released it gives a long hook trace the disadvantage is it puts a kink in the hooks length and often becomes wrapped which you don't find out to you reel in hope this helps

up and over pulley realy like it for bigger fish best to use in a bit depth of water as only prob i have it can tangle.

this rig i can fish hook lengths 6ft long and even longer no prob at all kinking of hook length never had any probs wth.

my favourite rig without doubt but as i said earlier takes a bit time for me to make one so it releases every time.

if you ever want to see one of these rigs i could arrange to meet.

no disrespect to dropper rig it does work well and easy quick to tie but sometimes not all the time a long hook length can outfish anything else.

 

[Joe-m]

I use the up and over as well as many other rigs depending on species depth of water tide flow
type of ground your fishing over everyone has they favourite rig that you find works for you all part of the fun designing what you think is going to work on the day

Cheers for the replys,

Johnr love to but its maybe just a tad far to drive to see a rig , i am in the scarborough area , but i would gladly buy a up nd over pulley rig of you ?
I do fish deep water marks Brigg/ Flamborough , but cant say i have seen these rigs, apart from using a dropper rig last weekend during the Euro open nd i noticed nearly every cast it came un clipped ?,
saying that it was a shop bought (lyxn rig but i was given it) the ones with the fancy crimping style,
Is there any diagrams on line showing the drop down pulley ?, also i dont normally like to much metal work when fishing rough ground, my normal rigs are mainly all loops with oval split ring attached to my leader and the hook thats it apart from the lead which has two hooks one to act as bait clip,
but i would like to try other rigs.

All the best mark

Hi mark,
The "pulley dropper"is designed to present a long flowing hooklength,ideal for rays n hounds/cod over clean ground/sand.NOT suitable 4 ruff ground fishing as the hook snood is hanging dwn below the lead(the full snood hangs below)resulting in your hook getting snagged up.Also used in sml tides to aid movement as with the up n over rig(a long snood will move /waft around more than a short 1)Hope the info helps
Ps pleny of pic's online.
