Think Carolina Rig and you’ll probably picture a large-mouth bass, but in my mind the Carolina Rig is a really useful tool for LRF. I’ll explain why…
LRF Rigs
On these pages you will find descriptions and images of the popular LRF rigs used for Light Rock Fishing. The most popular LRF rigs include; Split Shot Rig, Dropshot, Jika Rig, Jighead, Texas Rig, Carolina Rig, Cheb Rig, Caro, Neko, Free Rig and many more. Each rig has its advantages and by practicing each technique you will become better at fishing LRF.
Straight Lures For Ruffe
Straight lures, i.e lures that don’t feature a paddle / bobble / huddle type tail, can prove advantageous when targeting Ruffe.
Ruffe on Neko Rig
Boom! Big cool-points score with this one. A stunning little Ruffe caught using a scaled-down Neko rig.
Rock Goby on Jig Head
Must admit, quite enjoy catching gobies by Jighead method. Not easy, so rewarding once you get the action right. Lure here is the Ecogear Aqua Shirasu.
Another Ruffe on Aquawave Shad
Ruffe with attitude! Another one for the Aquawave Shad.
Nano Metals
One of the many highlights and discoveries in Japan was finding a growing choice of what can only be described as ‘nano metals’. Those weighing under 3.5 grams.
Bass on Isome Split Shot Rig
Doesn’t happen very often but just goes to show that Isome does catch everything. A small Bass on Isome, fished on the Split Shot Rig.
Shimano Soare Tidey
Whether I was fishing the latest must-have Japanese rockfishing tecnique, or just posh float fishing, I don’t know. But I really enjoyed fishing a small estuary system yesterday with the hope of a flounder or mullet. Instead this little bass obliged. I’d like to try it again.
