More consistent hookups - thanks to seven-hook rigging
Each feather carries seven hooks on a rig built with a 65lb main line and 25lb hook links, with hook size 0/2 for most patterns and 0/4 for the Scintill flash. Hooks are positioned to present multiple points of contact during a pass through a shoal.
Higher chance of connecting with passing mackerel during tows, reducing missed strikes and improving catch rates on busy shoals.
Reduced line problems - with stainless steel swivel and weight clip
An attached stainless steel swivel and weight clip are fitted to each feather to keep the rig aligned while towing and to secure the weight. The fittings are intended to maintain presentation under load.
Less time spent untangling and re-rigging, so more time fishing and fewer lost runs.
Ready adaptability - with a mixed five-type selection
The mixed option supplies one pack of each of the five feather types that were manufactured based on recommended catch ratios and expert input. Packs are supplied as a five-pack containing one of each type.
Quickly swap between feather types to match local conditions without buying multiple separate rigs.
