Best Match

High-Low Rig

beginnersurf & pier & jetty

Two hooks sit above a bottom weight so bait hovers just off the sand. Simple to tie and easy to re-rig on the beach, which makes it the standard starting point for surf and pier fishing.

Also Works Well

Fish-Finder Rig

The sinker slides freely on the main line, so a fish can pick up bait and move off without feeling resistance.

Fireball Rig

A high-low rig with a bright float threaded above the hook, lifting bait slightly off the bottom and adding visibility in murky surf.

Freeline Rig

No weight at all, just a hook tied straight to the line.

Slip Bobber Rig

A bobber that slides freely on the line until it hits an adjustable stop knot, letting you fish any depth while still casting easily.

Sabiki Rig

A pre-tied string of small flasher hooks that catches live bait like anchovies and sardines, often several at once.

Float Rig

A float suspends bait at a fixed depth instead of dragging it on the bottom, letting current or light wave action carry it naturally past holding fish.

Wire Leader Rig

Swaps the usual fluorocarbon leader for wire, since sharp teeth cut straight through mono.
