Thread: Surf casting rig

Had a rush of blood to my head a while ago & not happy with the rigs available.I wanted to retain my running sinker & the trace length .I spent a lot of time trying to work out how to achieve what I wanted,that was the trace length ,running sinker & keeping the bait sinker close to each other to try getting more cast distance with the surf rod.
This is what I came up with ,still needs a little refining but certainly helping with distance & seems to work.
Would be interested in seeing what some of you guys use as well .


The result of the first session with the new rig .


Gets the bait out just a little bit further. Hope I have a few more days like this near future.
