What are pre-made fishing rigs?

A pre-made fishing rig is a kit that includes fishing tackle and fishing line. Bait rigs, hook rigs, squid jigs, shank hooks, and trolling rigs are among the pre-made fishing rigs available at Davos Tackle. 

What is the best all round fishing rig?

Australia is a vast country with limitless freshwater and saltwater fishing opportunities. For low-angle fishing line trajectory, the paternoster fishing rig is the most popular rig in Australia. 

Flasher fishing rigs are good for catching a wide range of fish species, whilst smaller Sabiki fishing rigs are lighter and more suited for calm-water fishing.

At Davos Tackle, all of our pre-made fishing rigs include all of the necessary terminal tackle components such as jigs, swivels, sinkers, circle hooks, soft plastic lures and more. If you're looking for the best pre-made fishing rigs, Davos Tackle is the place to go!

What fishing rig should I use?

The correct rig depends on where you're fishing (freshwater or saltwater) and what kind of fish you wish to catch. Davos Tackle have detailed the three most popular rigs below:

Running sinker rig: The length of the leader will differ based on the size of the rod.  When there is a lot of water flowing, this is a great setup to use. Lighter baits such as peeled prawns, whitebait, worms and pilchard fillets work well since they rise off the bottom in the current.

Paternoster rig:The paternoster rig is the best pre-made fishing tackle for drifting through snaggy underwater terrain.  With two hooks, you can use two different baits to find out what the fish prefer.  Also fishable with a single hook. When utilising two hooks, make sure they cannot link or tie together. The paternoster rig can also be used for boat or surf fishing.

Float and bob rig: A float is required to maintain the bait depth in the water when attempting to capture fish near the water's surface rather than the bottom. One of the most common is a red and white bob float. The line is threaded through clips at the float's top. To attach to the line, the quill float has plastic bands or an eyelet at the bottom. Use small split-shot sinkers to keep the hook away from the float. This setup is commonly used for freshwater fishing but can be used in salt water fishing with floats as well.
