Pennel Pullys

[finn]

what length of line is most commonly used to make a pennel pully rig ?
from weight - to swivel,
then from swivel to hook (hook length or snood i suppose)
i know how to make one,
but i would like a little advice with actual line lengths,
any help,
thanks finn;

Really depends on what type of ground you\'re fishing Finn.

I use hook snoods from 12\" (for really snaggy ground) up to 36\" for clean, sandy areas.

Hook lengths I use are:
12\"
18\"
24\"
36\"

EDIT:
Forgot to say.....the \"weight to swivel\" lengths are kept to about 3\" longer than the hook snood.

I mostly use them for rough ground so short hook and sinker lengths ,no more than 12 inches.

I tend to make mine all about the same length, aproximately 36\".

Sinker to swivel upto 36 \"

Fishing from the rocks

thanks lads, i dont think that i`m too far off with the ones that i have made then, just made 3 to start with, 30\" + 18\" hook length, i have put a genie bait clip on, should these release ok on impact ? i`m using 2/0 bait holder hooks,
many thanks, finn ;

Should be no problem with them Finn. You can try different things with them as you go, just experiment mate.

30\" hook length
36\" from swivel to rotten bottom.

I will shorten the hook length to about 24\" if fishing a rough sea, and there is plenty of kelp around.
