PIG RIGZ

I saw this on FM.

Reminds me of a rig I used for Stripers. Now I use those bucktails for blackfish. I plcked some up a Ward Melville and will be try ing them soon.

Its the old egg sinker rig. Been around since probably forever. It would most likely be fine over pebble or so called "coconut" bottom (I hear much of the good tog Rhode Island bottom is like that); or a fairly unobstructed reef. Try it on one my local reefs here off JI (mostly bridge debris, concrete with protruding rebar and the like) and it'll last exactly one drop down.

This is also why my use locally of tog jigs is severely limited - again over the bottom that I prefer to fish. Which is N-A-S-T-Y.
