THE JOHN SIDLEY EEL RIG ADAPTED FOR CATFISH

This is basically an upgraded version of the John Sidley eel rig, but with a quicksilver hooklink, knotless knotted to a size one ESP Raptor.

To the hair I tie a 10 inch length of bait floss and attached two polyballs to this. Three large lobworms are hooked once directly through the saddle and injected with air.

About the Rigs Page

The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will be useful to both beginners and experienced anglers.

The rigs can be extremely simple and well known, or very complicated and little known, it doesn’t matter providing they make some kind of sense and have a really practical application.

It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate seeing in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the experienced carp angler would like to see.

If you wish to contribute a rig to this section please remember that the emphasis is on illustration rather than words. Good line drawings are fine in the absence of photographs. Please send to graham@fishingmagic.com
