What is Photo Recce?


 

A cheap, strong rig to cope with thick kelp and rocks.

This rig is designed with two purposes in mind - to land a fish over very rough ground and to be cheap enough to lose every couple of casts. All of the components of this rig are beefed up to resist the inevitable abrasion that comes with rock fishing. There are many types of rotten bottom system that can be used, but my preference is the Veals Rotten Bottom Clip as they are reliable, cheap and less prone to snagging than some bulkier systems. If you do opt for the Veals clips I would always use a pair of pliers to open the hook part out a little more to guarantee that the lead releases.

CAUTION: THIS RIG SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH ANY FORM OF POWER CASTING.
