For many years I had set up my rigging like any other fishermen. But I seem to more than often would miss my catch. So I decided to reverse my rigging and found that I have had more luck as well as less snags. Since I am more of a bank fisherman rather than going out on a boat I find that the reverse methode works better. The usual is bobber, slider sinker, hook My reverse is hook,slider sinker, bobber (about 1 to 2 foot line between each). Another Rig that I have tried is slider sinker,hook, bobber ( this allows the bobber to pull the bait up to the surface) and as you real in the bobber is pulled down till it reaches the sinker and the as you continue to real in the bobber can help in releiving snags that are caused by the sinker or hook. I would like to know your views about the different kinds of Rigging.
