The 3 rigs I would sugest are
3 hook flapper
2 hook flapper with running ledger
Wishbone
But remember to scale down your hooks acordingly, I myself use fine wire aberdeens 1s or 1/0s
Cheers

Manky smelly lugworms and fresh ragworms especially the small habour rag or maddies as they are called, are excellent baits for flatties also.  |

match tip when you tie your snood i use in clear water a snood consisting of 4"of 15lb then join 3" of 6lb this lighter line then allows the bait to flap about in the tide more ,also add a cube of herring or mackerel at the top of the hook for scent (this is better in murky water) top off your bait with small white rag as this gives a good attractant and fish love em ,good combo is mussel razor topped of with white rag and the cube of herring at the top THE COD |
