Avoid the potential of losing fish by taking the guesswork out of tying rigs properly.

Use this Instinct salmon rig for great results. Complete with two tied 5/0 beak pattern hooks and 112g sinker.

A few tips. Pilchards are the best bait to use but salmon also like small garfish, whitebait or cockles. Remember to change your bait often.

Added success can come through the use of a berley mix of diced pilchards and pellets soaked in tuna oil. If beach fishing, tie a rope to your berley container and anchor it where the waves can take the berley out to sea.

Salmon prefer the rising tide and have a tendency to move within the surf line.
