This is a combination of 3 sets of flounder twisted line rigs. The rigs use twisted line with strength and resilience for the main line, and are handmade with a reel. All three items use pearl beads, resulting in a very simple and beautiful finish.
When fishing for flounder, the following three steps are fundamental:
① Ground baiting
② Enticing, stopping
③ Hook setting
To reliably achieve these three steps, it's crucial that the rig is always taut to prevent the hooks from tangling during ground baiting.
Based on this important point, the specifications of the three types of rigs are as follows:
No. 279, 280, 281
※ Twisted line 4-hook rig 3+1 (weight above leader)
8-gauge nylon thread, twisted twice
※ Original fixed direct-connection balance
Handmade with rubber tubing and pearl beads
※ Rig length: 63-90cm
※ Hook: No. 1
※ Leader: Hontelon No. 3
I've created a flounder-specific rig by connecting a handmade direct-connection fixed balance to a main line twisted twice. No. 281 is a long-version rig with a handmade direct-connection balance using a willy hand-winding technique. Experience the sensation of the subtle preliminary bite of the flounder and the strong pull the moment you feel it and set the hook with the rod tip!
Before fishing, be sure to stretch the main line and leader sufficiently to remove any kinks in the rig. Please be careful of the hook points during this process.
