modified p-rigs
Thinking about making some homemade p-rigs for fishing this summer. Mainly be fishing for perch and the odd trout. Would like to make something that's more sturdy then the ones you can buy in the cheap packages, something with 2 or 3 hooks that doesn't tangle very easy. Thoughts? anybody have any pictures of ones they've made? appreciated, thanks. :) (and on a sidenote, what do you guys find are the sharpest best quality snelled, and just plain hooks.)

Never used a rig like this before.. I like it. If a guy were to rig it up with 60lb fluro leader material and a heavy duty three-way swivel I imagine it would be a decent sturgeon rig? |

If you are not after lunkers ..... a P-Rig is fine. Nothing wrong with it except the silly snelled hooks it comes with.
Just buy a decent pack of Gamakatsu snelled hooks and you are set ...... http://www.gamakatsu.com/fishing-hooks_snells.htm Alternately - buy the p-rigs and remove the line and replace it with what you want ..... you can simply use the wire spreader arms and beads and make your own set up with three arms if you wanted to. |

I like Octopus hooks personally, but also use baitholders. I generally buy matzuo, Gamakatsu are a great hook as well. I don't really buy pre-snelled hooks I prefer to do it myself with a 20lb test.

Well in the end I decided to chop up a couple of p-rigs and put them back together with some glo-beads. gonna finishing rigging them up with gakamatsu hooks, and I think i'm in business. I'm going to take a picture of it next week when I get my ipod back.... thanks for all the help everybody. :)

Well, I finally got my crappy ipod camera back, and took a picture of the rig I made:
http://s1280.photobucket.com/user/ca...ibrary/?page=1 sorry for the terrible photo quality, i'm going to try and upload better pictures later, but for the moment this is all I got. Basically I took a normal p-rig, and then cut another one in half, and then joined them together at the swivel ends, and added some cool glow beads at both ends. Sorry again for the terrible image quality, but just felt like sharing the rig I made.. thanks :) |

Good job. I might make something similar for the Peace River while it's still dirty after the close the spillway.

Not that theres anything wrong with a good old "P" rig. I know some fishermen like to trash talk them but they are easy to use and they plain old work. I just got back from Florida where I did a fair amount of fishing on party boats. Typical of charter boats they had most of the rods rigged up with a dummy proof "P" rig type deal and a few rods rigged up to keep the "more advanced" fishermen entertained. I usualy opted for the latter but without fail, at the end of the trip the guys with the patience to soak a dropper rig all day always had the most fish. |
