The Wishbone Rig

The Wishbone is a proven rig for targeting flatfish of all species. The rig is supplied ready fitted with 6 x 5mm coloured beads on each arm of the wishbone. The beads provide a visual stimulus for those species such as plaice that actively hunt by sight. For flatfish many anglers prefer to use the wishbone in sizes 4 up to 1.
Worm baits can be presented head hooked and wriggling and the capsule will also protect delicate baits such as bunches of harbour ragworm from flying apart during the cast.

The wishbone rig can also be used very effectively with small strips of fish/squid or peeler crab to target species such as black bream.
In larger hook sizes (1/0 and upwards) the wishbone rig can be a winner for the Autumn and Winter species where the scent trail from 2 larger baits can make all the difference.
The wishbone rigs sold on this site are fitted with Kamasan B940 fine wire Aberdeed hooks in sizes 4 to 1/0 and Viking pattern 79515 in sizes 2/0 and above.
