One tip I learned with doing a paternoster rig is to make the sinker sacrificial. Use a lighter gauge line from the swivel to the sinker, because the sinker is more likely to get snagged in the rocks, and the lighter gauge line makes it easier to bust it off and retrieve your line.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes I agree!

[@adamdennis9790]

Bloody awesome as usual!

[@mitchmcbride6053]

Awesome stuff mate I’ll give it a go for sure

[@geoffbarnes9175]

Roger, I got this rig from the a magazine called "Best Baits and Bait rigging" It must be 25 yrs old. They have the Alvey rigging bench inside. They lay the pilchard flat and then cut the pilchard in half, at a 45 degree angle leaving a lot of exposed bait on each piece. You then hook up as you do with the barb exposed in the cut thin portion of the bait. It's a good bait.

A great video Roger. I find people like yourself and Alex Bellissimo to be very helpful! Thank you for this video

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Glad it was helpful, thanks mate I appreciate the support

[@FadiGawrieh]

Thank you Roger, I really appreciate your honesty and how you show the reality in fishing. Sometimes, you will catch plenty of fish, and sometimes, as you mentioned in the video, the fish will just disappear. This is the case here in Sydney it's become hard to catch a fish due to the overfishing. Thanks for your great video, and keep going.

[@sarbaazchabahar]

I love rock fishing🎣👍✌️

[@MRxr400]

ah, see, the fish are starting to talk and warn each other, "that Osbourne is here again". like me and foxes. Thanks for the clear rig run down Rog, i'll give it a go. so far, i've got nothing but snags on the reef if i use a sinker. but i don't do the aggressive yank and fast reel in. catch you soon.

Hi Roger:) we met each other this week. That’s the video I needed to see. Very informative. Thanks

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

It was good to meet you mate, I'm glad the videos are helpful for you 👍🏼

[@dmhrsh]

Years ago I used to fish from the rocks around the NSW Central Coast using a similar rig. To get around the problem of losing (expensive) lead sinkers we used old car spark plugs attached to a light breaking strain dropper line; we still got snagged of course but often it was only the spark plug that was lost.. The old plugs were obtained free from the local car workshop.

[@sugiantoyusuf5229]

Try pebbles. Wrap it in plastic bags. Spark plugs are not always easy to come by.

[@dragginmedown]

[@Johan-ex5yj]

Good content, Roger. Yes fishing can be a challenge sometimes. Worst thing for fishing is not, not getting any bites or even losing all your gear on the rocks, it is seaweed everywhere! The last 2 weeks I’ve been struggling with seaweed, it weighs down your line so you can’t feel any bites, and every retrieve is like a tug of war. Best thing you can do is just go home! ☹

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes it is best to avoid the weed

[@hendreks6408]

Hi Roger, What shoes do you use for rock fishing and beach fishing? Love your work. Thanks mate

[@michaelsmithson8495]

Hi Roger, great vids! On your light beach set up, is the reference to the Nasci c500 reel correct? I cannot see it on the various vendor sites. Thanks

[@muaythai.8474]

Entrance bridge back in the day spinning for tailor filling buckets them were the days . Dusky flatheads bream snapper I miss it so much

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Very cool!

[@djgjohn]

Roger, regarding your best killer rig, when do you use flourocarbon and when do you use coated wire? Where I am in Qld we either get tailor or non toothy fish. Do you wait until you get eaten off before changing to wire?

[@zulninoCR]

I will prefer to use thread for tight the pilchard than use 1 loop because after your bait lose the loop make a close bond . Wht do u think roger?

[@grimreaper6112]

Looks like it would be a good squid spot as well.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes I think so

[@frankbrookes3930]

Another great video. Over here in SA we don't have as many opportunities for rock fishing, so that prompts me to ask a "newbie" question ... Was your line choice based on mono's better durability in turbulent water and the ever-present rough rock surfaces?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes pretty much, it is more abrasion resistant

[@reteipegal7690]

@frankbrookes3930• Where in SA? Or is it South America? If South Africa [RSA], I've been rock fishing over 70 years from Mozambique to Namibian borders. What takes your opportunities away? I had many Brookes friends in KZN in the 50's. Have a good day.

At Terrigal I use to catch sharks through the rocks on whipper slipper cord and live bait yellowtail through the rock litteraly if it wasn't an eel it was a port Jackson we ley em go was 30 years ago

[@geoffbarnes9175]

great video as usual. What brand of mono do you use. I only use mono. I just don't like the feel of braid.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Shimano Exage. I like it because of it's thin diameter

[@Rockit_Maks]

Would this rig work in other setting rather than just rock fishing

[@gtalbot64]

Q for you Roger, please? For this type of rock fishing & rig, you prefer Mono over braid? Make a difference in casting distance? Other considerations? Thnx

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Braid is good for distance casting but does not cope with rocks and barnacles so I mainly use mono but of thin diameter.

[@gtalbot64]

@@RogerOsborneFishing thanks Roger, really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Makes sense. Cheers Greg

[@MichaelLozza-ef4wy]

Hi Roger I love your channel and I have you beachworming masterclass which is excellent. However I have a concern with some of the rigs specifically the half hitch that you put around the pilchard. I have used this technique before and I have found that I’ve lost fish because the line on the half hitch cuts into itself creating a weak spot then the line snaps. I have stopped doing this and I don’t know what your experience has been but I just wanted to share this with you and your viewers as I’d hate to see you lose one because of this half hitch. I’d love it if you come up with something better for rigging pilles to make a video and share with us. Cheers mate and tight lines…. But not too tight on the half hitch

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi thanks Michael, I struggle to remember any times when my line has broken at the hook because of the half hitch. I am not aware of it. If it happened even a few times I certainly would stop doing it.

[@AspDevs]

Nice❤

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks 🔥

[@iangodfrey6310]

So it's probably worthwhile going for a look see first? No intention of fishing just seeing what's there for next time.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I usually look first

[@gino55yo]

Hello Mr Osborne I wanted to ask you if from a sandy beach I can fish with the big sliding float and you would have advice to succeed? Thank you and nice video on this Saturday.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Most times you would not use a float from a sandy beach but it is possible

[@gino55yo]

🙏👍🙋‍♂️

[@user-xf8dm9ub7d]

Mr. Rogers. Does it not tangle when you cast

[@uhhbam]

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

[@mitchmcbride6053]

Hey mate if it’s really really snaggy and weedy but there are heaps of fish there do you use a float or just use a weedless hook

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

A float or no sinker

[@mitchmcbride6053]

@@RogerOsborneFishing thanks mate I’ll give it a go just getting into rock fishing it’s really really good I love it so far

[@mattbarton8480]

Hi Roger. With this setup what main line and leader strengths are you using?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

15kg but the leader to the sinker is lighter at 10kg so it will break first if you do get snagged

[@johnhedge1429]

I tried it off the Southern end of Bombo this avo. I hooked something with weight but it broke the line on the rocks! :-( Bombo looks good atm. A clear gutter between the sand bar and the beach.

Been watching heaps of fishing lately, and I was just wondering why everyone throws the huge Flatheads they catch back in the Lake. Flatheads are beautiful eating, just can't work out why they are all throwing them back in the water.

[@jerrysberrys3415]

no need to keep every fish you catch. unless you like making the area fishless. also its illegal to keep one over 70cm

[@KangaJack-ns9gd]

@@jerrysberrys3415 I know that. But every video I watch they are throwing huge Flathead back in the water. Not anywhere near 70 cm either. Maybe they just don't like fish. Quite aware to throw small fish back in the water also.

@@KangaJack-ns9gd I have seen that also. One kid caught 5 of them, one was massive, and he threw every Flathead back in the water. I cannot work it out either.

[@resiefan3258]

​​@@RogerOsborneFishingi don't see a sinker on your line though? Ahh half way through the video I saw a sinker. I'm confused though because In another video you say not to use a sinker or swivel at all when rock fishing.

[@keithprinn720]

basic error too heavy a sinker and main line , using fresh bait from catches or collecting crabs and cunje big advantage. some times preserving left over baits require salting salted striped tuna is brilliant using strip baits. anchoring bait with that heavy sinker is not always best. light sinker or floating gradually sinking much more effective.

[@nickhybner8485]

[@galaxyexplorer6189]

It wouldn't be a classic Rodger Osbourne video without a salmon being caught. 😂👏✌

[@mrmf4712]

With all respect, but that line connecting the sinker to the swivel was waaaaay longer than 50cm

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Maybe 60cm

[@smileyface-re7fx]

It’s a misconception to call the piece of line between your swivel and hook your leader. It’s not, it’s just part of your rig. Because you’re using mono as your main line you’re pretty safe. If you were using braid you wouldn’t be. A leader is a length of mono/fluorocarbon between your main line and your swivel, length and strength depends on weather you’re fishing off a beach or rocks.

[@Nikopotamus]

Could the definition be changing due to common belief? 🤔 language is always evolving.

[@smileyface-re7fx]

@@Nikopotamus not in this instance. Using mono as a main line on the rocks is not a bad idea largely because of the abrasiveness versus braid. Imagine if the mainline was braid and rubbed against the rocks and he had a decent fish on, the line would snap. Hence using a length of fluorocarbon between mainline and swivel. As mentioned above length determined by either fishing off rocks or beach. Further to that braid has no stretch whereas mono/fluorocarbon does. If a decent fish suddenly turns and runs at least you have that stretch in the line absorb the sudden force.

[@Nikopotamus]

@@smileyface-re7fx I know the difference between line types braid/mono/flouro 👍🏻. My point is that everyone calls the piece of fluorocarbon attached to the terminal end a leader. If everyone calls it that way then that is what it is… I learnt a while ago to not bother correcting people that the correct way to spell jail is gaol. Language evolves.

[@smileyface-re7fx]

@@Nikopotamus no they don’t. Just the ones who don’t get it.

[@DrPitchnPutt]

Leader is the line or wire between your main line and the hook or lure. What you on about
