This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Experimental predator rigs
I have been looking at various trace materials and the kevlar type looks the best in around 25lb
In response to the trebles question they are a huge no no when it comes to eels as there is no way you can ever get anything out that has been swallowed and the heart is at the back of the throat.
I suppose both of these rigs are aimed at eels to some degree simply because over the summer my zander fishing was in waters that contained a fair share of eels.
I have spoken to Barry McConnell (perhaps the country's best eel expert) and he will not fish trebles till the eel season is finished, then a single treble is his way for zander .
I have not done enough fishing for either species to pretend to be an expert or to have built up my confidence in any one rig but I did learn from sad experience that trebles and eels do not mix.
