Weirpool Spinner Rig

With my obsession for weirpool fishing comes an almost insatiable amount of losses when using spinners. Unless you start retrieving almost the second the lure hits the water it almost invariably wraps itself around a snag. To get round this, a small, slim cristal deadbait float is secured top and bottom up the line.

It doesn’t appear to affect the action of the spinner when retrieving (might even help) and gives you the chance to almost ‘trot’ lures down to swims you wouldn’t even think of casting to, under trees, bushes, etc. Also allows you to sneeze or even scratch your head without fear of the spinner dropping into a parrot cage.

About the Rigs Page

The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will be useful to both beginners and experienced anglers.

The rigs can be extremely simple and well known, or very complicated and little known, it doesn’t matter providing they make some kind of sense and have a really practical application.

It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate seeing in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the experienced carp angler would like to see.

If you wish to contribute a rig to this section please remember that the emphasis is on illustration rather than words. Good line drawings are fine in the absence of photographs. Please send to graham@fishingmagic.com
