You may have asked yourself why you would pay more for tungsten or brass fishing weights and jig heads, over traditional lead. I’ll try and summarise the benefits…
weights
Inside My Meiho Rungun Case
Thought I’d share an image of the contents in my red Meiho Rungun Case. This has been my main LRF bits box for many seasons now.
Jika Rig Options
The Jika Rig is a great option for heavy cover when you want to fish a lure close to the bottom – which is essentially what rockfishing or wrasse fishing is. The Jika rig falls vertically, meaning it punches through weed well and limits the chance of getting hung up. Traditionally, a Jika rig is made from three components – an offset hook, a split ring and a weight – although there are some options which I’ll cover further down.
Cheb Rig For LRF
I’m no real fan of the Cheb rig but it does offer the LRF angler a solution to the challenge of fishing small hooks with heavier weights, in a style close to Jighead.

Be Free Texas Rig
In my last post I mentioned I was playing with JungleGym’s ‘Be Free Texas’ rig. So far so good. It’s a glorified weedless Texas rig but using JungleGym’s Bean Sinker and their ringed offset hook (Ring Rocker). With the addition of stop a few inches above the weight (Move Stopper) you have a kind of bolt rig.
Posh Isome Rig
Who said Isome rigs can’t be sexy?
Well that maybe a stretch, but this is pretty sweet…
