Deepest rigger presentation?


Recommended Posts

I've ran paddles, spinnies, and spoons off mono and SWR on deepest rigger and have caught fish on all of them. I don't think it makes a difference.

Thanks for the question, looks like I'll be running plugs off my deep rigger next time out:thumb:

The deeper Presentation is always the Flasher( paddle, spinnie or dodger) It has been my experience that that is the best way to go, I guess it depends on how many deep riggers you run. In the early days we ran 5 to 8 down riggers, maybe a Pink Lady diver. All of our high lines were off of outriggers. When we ran that many riggers our ball to bait was only about 5 to 8 feet, Paddles were real close to the ball to prevent tangles.

It worked before the days of Zebra mussels and clean water. I still have my flasher and fly or meat combos as my deepest presentation. However when I run meat I usually have meat on all of my rigger and dipsey presentations. I have recently started running flasher and fly combos on my coppers too.

They all catch fish.

Sometimes it's easier to cave in then argue. Besides I let Chris make some decisions so that when things don't go right I can blame him. I always tell him I'm too busy driving to get my side of the boat working. Then he reminds me I have auto pilot. lol.

Who catches more fish? There's a short list of people on my boat where I just stay at the helm and let them do their thing.

As of late the swr with a j has been 10' above the big spinny, putting it about the same level. The spinny isn't getting hit but the swr has been steady so that's not getting touched.

For us it really depends on where the temperature is. When the temps are higher in the water column it would most likely be a spoon on the deepest rigger. When the temps are deeper it would be either an attractor/fly or meat depending on what has been working for us previously.
