PATTERN-RIGGING-PRESENTATION for Bluegill

So you had a great day on the water… you caught many gills or sunfish and you had a specific rigging and a presentation you made to nail em. You are one proud angler! Share that information with us. Describe the conditions the rod, reel and line and how you presented the bait to them. Start a discussion and post pictures of the event. We are interested and that’s why we are here. No rigging is to simple or complex. Some days simpler is better. We are all varied in our skills as bluegill fisherman from the novice to the masters. Even if it’s just sharing your favorite rod, reel and line combination… anglers ask for this information all the time! We could all learn something new.

Thanks for the invite. I will try to contribute when I can. Been pretty busy here lately.

One thing I do, when rigging a slip-float.  I put a bead on the mainline above and BELOW the float.  The bead above the float is standard, it keeps the stop-knot from going through the float.  The bottom bead is to keep my swivel (I always like a swivel on the line, with rare exceptions) from jamming up into the bottom of the float.

My rigs and gigs are simple, too...a variation of Huck Finn fishing efforts!

I thought it would be fun and nice to organize a library of rigs and how they were used and to expand on

thanks for joining!
