Ok. I get it. Interesting rig. I'll give it a go!smile0784 wrote:Puts both hooks closer to the bottom so if the fish eat one they can see the other one.
I use to use the standard rigs but noticed the top hook wasn't getting touched as often and was coming up still with bait on it.

Re: Paternoster rig length
My pa was using it for 30 years at Bermagui for anything from gummys to flathead to reef fishing.
I use it most of the time for everything down here and up there
Just change hook sizes depending that I'm chasing.
5/0 circles for gummys and snapper and kingfish down to small hooks for pinkies and whiting and flathead.
Hooks on that rig in picture is for pinkies, flathead and whiting

Re: Paternoster rig length
I like to use 2 twisted dropper loops and everything a little more than 30cm apart. My twisted dropper loops are 15cm to 20cm in length with the top one longer than the lower one. About 1.3m of leader all up.
good fishing.
