"WORLD'S DEADLIEST RIG" for Beach Fishing: Never Lose Another Fish!

@@RogerOsborneFishing not sure I understood: do you keep the rig running on the main line through the swivel of the rig or do you attach it to the sinker? Or are both valid options?

[@allenawadalla4997]

Same

[@syedibrahim6991]

​@@RogerOsborneFishingI'm still waiting for ur full set up on the stinker rig to the main line 😂😂😂😂

[@xlr8436]

One “upgrade” for this rig is to put a soft glow in the dark bead on the stinger. Run it so that if it goes over the trace and the stinger hook. The flow in the dark aspect is a bonus but it’s mainly to keep the stinger exactly where you want. You can slide it up and down as needed. When using a softer/floppier bait the soft bead stops the stinger moving down which stops the soft bait folding on itself. When a fish hooks up on the stinger it’ll still move down if needed.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi xlr8, good advice, thanks for the idea!

[@scoutylugs]

Brilliant I’m going to use an adapted nylon only version of this before I get to the store and get the nylon wire supplies. The glow bead idea sounds great. I’m just new to this so thx 😁

I have watched and re-watched your rig video time and time again (even earlier today) and have always thought of this rig to be supreme, mainly because of its simplicity and versatility. I just hopped on to KZbin to look up 'stinger hook' videos and before I typed anything, this video was at the top of my recommended list. The fishing Gods are alive and well it seems!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Jimbo, this is a surprising rig. I caught a lot of different fish while I was filming the video. Stingers work really well !!

[@jimmybernasconi9000]

@@RogerOsborneFishing Been meaning to get back on here to confirm that yes, even a complete amateur like me can up their fishing game immediately with this rig! Caught the biggest bream of my life first time trying it out a few weeks ago (on a beach that I have never caught a fish on before as well). And guess what - brought him in on the stinger! Then, a few casts later, I reeled in my first ever salmon, a big one too. Had some more luck with this rig up the coast about a week ago as well, catching another bream which might have even bigger than the first!

[@christopherwilson248]

@@jimmybernasconi9000 Hey Jimbo, quick question. I am in a similair situation where I am an amateur. Can I ask what bait you were using and also what beach?

[@jimmybernasconi9000]

@@christopherwilson248 Hey mate. Literally just went to Coles and got a handful of the fresh prawns from the deli. I used to use the frozen ones you get at the servo but the fresh ones from Coles (either king or banana, uncooked obviously) are much better. I’ve even caught fish using the uncooked unseasoned packaged ones from woolies. Beach-wise, bagged the bream and salmon at Mollymook beach in NSW and then the other big bream up at Kingscliff near Tweed Heads. Since then, I’ve also had some luck off the beach at North Steyne in Sydney when the wind and waves have been moderate. Caught a bream and a dart last session and then hooked a HUGE salmon (could’ve been a shark I tell you) but it broke my line so I went home haha. But yeh mate, from one amateur to another, I’ve found fresh prawns and good conditions to be the biggest factors when it comes to catching decent fish. My cast is weak as and I don’t back myself to read a beach that well - just looking for the spots where the break meets the gut as Roger has taught us. Good luck out their my man!

[@caferreira100]

Fantastic! Rodger its always great to see fellow angles catching fish. Alas Rodger where we cast our lines has become over fished by trawling and factory processing ships being supplied by pair trawlers who trawl massive nets between them. Rodger I will make a couple of these guys and give them a go. From a much saddened angler I thank you and hope that you guys out there really appreciate the beauty of the ocean that you are blessed to fish in. Thanks again buddy. Tight lines every trip.

[@needmoreboost6369]

[@andrewdutton2902]

Just stumbled upon this video. As a angler myself based in the UK it's always nice to see what other parts of the world do. Over here we call this a "pennel rig." Personally I use them a lot for my fishing. Look up "Pulley Pennel dropper" or a "Up and over rig" although the line crimps/Metal sleves you use arn't really a thing here we tend to use lower profile knots on our pennels and most rigs to allow bigger baits to slide over the knots easier to make better use of the "stinger." Tight lines

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Andrew, thanks for saying Hello. Sorry for the slow reply. I looked up the Pennel Rig as you suggested. It seems that the sinker is fixed similar to what we call a Paternoster Rig. With the deadliest rig I have a running sinker on the main line with a shorter leader of about 40cm (15 inches). I trust that the Pulley Pennel rig works well. Thanks for the info.

[@johanvanderwouden6862]

Thanks Roger been following you for a bit now and enjoying a better hit rate. So yes very much for your easy to follow video contents always great stuff. Even works over here in NZ !! This body is getting a bit long in the tooth but still find a couple of days a week on the beach. Thanks very much.

[@donnagough712]

Absolute novice here - can you please post a photo of your rig with the sinker and leader attached to your main line so I’m confident I have it right. Loving your videos! Our new found love for beach fishing is making some amazing family memories!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Donna, that's awesome for your family. Have the leader at 30cm long. It is as simple as putting the sinker on your main line and then tying on the deadliest rig that you have made

[@JosephCHLam]

Thanks for the tips! Gonna give this a try - have been using similar 'stiinger' or snapper snell setups for a while, but actually, I've usually used a larger hook as the stinger, and my thinking is that because it's further up the line/trace, there's more chance of a larger fish getting hooked there, instead of the bottom hook, which I can then downsize to a smaller hook for the pickier and smaller specimens. Would this make sense, or do you have a reason for using the smaller hook as the stinger?

When fishing for Taylor of Catherine Hill bay rocks we used the gang hook rig with gar fish but a lot of times we go ripped to pieces by bream.

New watcher, loving your insights. Great work. Never really bothered with beach worms down here in south-west Vic. Always done my best to gather sand fleas for gars. Squidding, and fishing for salmon or mullet. Covers all and every species from SA through NSW. Now I am going to seek these mighty worms at many of the calmer surf zones. The tips on the lowest of low tides was very good. Often the diurnal tides around November can produce -60cm down here. How the hell do you pull those things out without snapping them?

first of all, great rig!, i havent been surf fishing yet but recently got a surf rod and will be sure to give this a crack. second off all, i think its great that this is nearly a knotless rig, as i have found tying knots with thicker lines to be a bit tricky sometimes. lastly, what size and stlyle sinker, probaly something in the rangers of 5oz i would assume?, and you would you tie a breakaway dropper to attach the sinker or just leave it running on the mainline (maybe do a vid to explain how?)
