Rig Lengths .........

[tommy a]

I have been making me own rigs this summer for the first time and now that the winter is closing in Im about to tie a load of pulley rigs, flapper rigs and 2 up 1 down rigs.

Can anyone please advise me of rough length of main rig for each of the above - or does the rig length / snood length not really matter. Is there any difference for shore and boat rigs ?

Thanks for any help.

Best boat rig in the Bristol channel is a 3 -4 ft pennel rig,hooks 4/0-6/0.

This is the lengths i use but people have different views on snood length,i think the main advice is dont make them too short,i always think its best to get the hook bait away from the rig body and main line.
Flapper-15"
Pulley or clip down paternoster24"
1 up 1 down 18"
Portsmouth loop 18"-24"

its swings and roundabouts really
i think you get more bites with longer snoods but conncect with more bites with short snoods
just gotta play about with them though mate, i just make em whatever lentgh i fancy
pulleys i always make long, sometimes upto about 5ft
