All hooks are clipped down on the pompey rig m8. Even though this is a 2 hook rig the 3 hook is just the same with an extra clip down winking

If it's good enough for Ian Golds it's good enough for me.

When i used to match fish i always used this rig. Brilliant rig for catching fish when they was further out and bait presentation always remained constant.

A real bonus was the bottom flowing trace winking

Making the rig is easy, i taught my m8 how to do it. One bit of advice is to make everything up and crimp up last as my m8 found out to his expense laughing

Make sure that you use moveable crimps / power gum stop knots for the top snood - you can then re-use the rigs (after changing the hook / hook length etc.) without having to re-tie the entire rig.

I went to Chapel Point this weekend and, having read this thread, I made up one of these rigs before I went.
I caught a really good sized Whiting on it using half a baby Cuttlefish on a 1/0 2/0 Bass hook.

I'll certailny use it again.

I'll experiment a bit with the length of the bottom trace because, at high tide, it tended to tangle. Sod's law that it was just after it got dark because it had behaved really well until then.

Thanks for the tip about leaving the crimps til last too. As a beginner it saved me having to call my wife silly names whew!

If you want to use this rig with a longer bottom snood it might be worth making the top half of the bottom snood (from the rig body to the cascade swivel) from a stronger B/S line (e.g 40lb), shouldn't tangle then.

And then someone says something that is so simple I think "Why didn't I think of that"? ddddeeeeeeerrrrrrr!!!
Guess that's the difference between experience and lernin'
Thanks I'll try that winking
