We use these rigs to catch LOTS of fish including Whiting, Pompano, Red drum, Black Drum, Snapper, Lady fish, Bluefish and more.
We collaborated with Brian Demo (pronounced.. dee-mo) on this rig. Brian was tired of getting cut-off and wanted a beefed up double drop surf rig with a single float high and a single bead low. After lots of field testing we decided on the materials below.
Demo's HD Double Drop Rig
We tie these 45 inch rigs with:
40lb mono
#1/0 crane swivel
#4 coastlock clip/swivel
2/0 circle hooks
Cutlass float
Round rubberized floating bead
