Rig accessories are used to build or reinforce leaders, stingers and other fishing rigs. Strength, abrasion resistance and compatibility with hooks and main line are the key factors.
Choosing rig materials
Select wire and leader material according to target species, expected load and rig purpose. More flexible material can preserve bait movement, while stiffer material may provide extra resistance to damage.
Connections and hooks
All components should have compatible strength. The weakest connection often determines the reliability of the whole rig, so knots and crimps should be checked regularly.
