By Ken Roberts 19/04/2022 2 mins read

Pin rig fishing is simple and offers many benefits. It is also very useful when fishing with bait fish. Bait fish, including shad and bluegills, respond well to a pin setup. This fishing rig works well with any bait fish found in your area. Here are some tips to use a pin rig. You can then go out and test it for yourself.

Fishing using a pin rig

Pin rigs, especially for beginners, are an easy way to rig your 'hoo'. Pin rigs use 10 feet of 200-pound-test fluorocarbon, a 1/2 ounce egg sinker and rigging wire. Here's how you can set one up.

Use a pin rig

A pin rig is used to fish piers, which are more difficult to fish on than beaches or boats. A pin rig lets a fish take it, and then the rig releases it. Depending upon the species of fish and the angler’s techniques and tackle, the battle could last from a few seconds to a few days. For more information, please read the following!

Drop shot rig

A drop shot is a new way to fish for worms. This rig is built to withstand a lot of abuse from the bottom, and it yields more fish. Drop shot rigs allow anglers to adjust the hook height and adjust for vegetation. This type of rig allows you to fish at different depths. You can adjust the hook's length and weight to catch more fish.

Using a ballyhoo on a pin rig

You need to know how to use a ballyhoo inside a pin rig. You must first choose the right size ballyhoo. The hook size should be appropriate for the ballyhoo. Never use a bigger hook in a smaller ballyhoo. After you have created the rig, place it on top of the ballyhoo. Next, insert the fishing hook pin through the lower jaw into the upper jaw.

A king mackerel rig

You must choose the correct bait before you can use a king marlin rigging device. King mackerel have razor-sharp teeth and are known for being aggressive eaters. Because of this, they are prone to bite bait without a wire leader. An average leader length is 50 to 80 lbs. The wire should be braided or single-strand. A black snap swivel is the best to avoid line twist.
