I use a wired paternoster rig at the moment, I only have to tie one knot that connects mainline to the rig. And I only have to clip on the weight and hooks. And plus the fish never bite me off lmaosmile0784 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 5:58 amI caught 15kg gummy on 30lb home made paganosta rigs with 2 hooks on a row with sinker at the bottom.Reddogfishing wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 1:17 pmAgree that the paternosters break under high pressure, I started using shogun 3 way swivels, the ones with the large eye at the bottom, this way I could tie locked blood knots.Elly27 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 11:00 amGuys, any suggestions for a strong, easy and quick knot to use for my fishing hook and swivel?
I do not want to use the patternoster rig as it breaks in the center quite quickly.
Still chasing Ling, had 10 trips down at Sandridge but no luck
Thank you for the help
The other thing I going to experiment with this season is creating the droppers with uni knots, ie 80lb main leader line, attach 60lb and use both ends of 60lb, one for the sinker and the other for the hook. I Still have to test in on the fence first...
All depends on your loop knots and how you tie them

Re: Forum for asking Fishing Questions
I don't think so smile, I make sure that the hook droppers/line are short enough that the two hooks don't meet. AND I pass the hook through its loop through the swivel twice so it tightens and sits proud and not slopy.smile0784 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 5:59 amAre your hook loops too long mate?Bugatti wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 1:31 amReddogfishing wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 1:17 pmAgree that the paternosters break under high pressure, I started using shogun 3 way swivels, the ones with the large eye at the bottom, this way I could tie locked blood knots.Elly27 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 11:00 amGuys, any suggestions for a strong, easy and quick knot to use for my fishing hook and swivel?

Just a question Red
I've have used three ways a few times and I seem to just tangle the rig on itself sometimes, that's using a two hook paternoster set-up. Do you have that problem or is it just my style of fishing?
Cheers, Bugs
I got a feeling that it's the mainline swivel in conjunction with the two three-way swivels (one for each hook dropper) it seems that the weight of the swivels doesn't allow the rig to fall straight, I have even tried slowing the cast as the rig hits the water so as to lay the rig straight as it lands. But it still seems to come up tangled more than a normal rig.
Cheers, Bugatti , , , , unless it is some intelligent fish tangling the rigs intentionally to be mess'n with my head

Re: Forum for asking Fishing Questions
Hope you are all staying safe!
Something has told me to come back here to ask for more assistance.
I believe I have gotten onto a Rockling once but it was VERY long and because it was dark at night I only noticed it was actually a fish when
I shined my light on the fish and it got away.
Since then I have not had any encounters with Rockling. I am looking for locations that would have a probability of hooking a Rockling, also I want
the area to be non polluted as I would like to taste the Rockling that I catch.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

A couple of places I have caught these things has been at Hampton off the rocks and also off station pier years ago.
I have never really targeted these before.
They are usually just a by catch.

Re: Forum for asking Fishing Questions
Like I said it’s been awhile since I have fished there but I used to cast from the top right. Walk right to the end and I used to fish from the top right corner. Used to catch many other species there as well.Elly27 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 18, 2021 2:44 pmSure has!
