How To Tie a Running Rig Used in fast-moving water Offshore Inshore

Running Rig for fishing Fast Current Rig or running rig: A Simple Fishing Rig used in areas you might find fast-flowing currents like western port or any other place in Australia. I use this rig when the tides are flowing to target fish l such as gummy sharks & snapper. To tie this fishing rig you will need some leader, I prefer to use 80lb in fast current as you need heavy sinkers to get to the bottom .you will also need a Circle Hook,  you want your bait to sit straight once on the bottom. you will also need some easy clips & Some shock leaders, I just use a normal 80lb leader for my shock leader you will need Swivels rated to 100lb.  a bell sinker/weight to clip on to your rig.
When tiring this running rig connect the rig using uni knots & to connect mono to( braid mainline ) I use a double uni knot, follow the diagram to tie the rig, this rig will hold up on many fish I have caught snapper gummy sharks & variety of fish easily dispatch of big ray’s & seven gillersharks, using Circle hooks mean you can catch sharks with teeth on this rig because of  9 times out of ten you get a jaw to hook up which keeps the leader away from the fish teeth. you can also use this running rig on whiting you just need to use a smaller line class.

Slack tide rig I use a paternoster ultra rig

When I fish fast current I use two different fishing rigs when going fishing in a western port I normally launch my boat 2 hours before the top of the tied. for most of the time, you have 12 knots of current but when Slack Tide comes which usually last for an hour or so I like to use a flasher rig which is great, for that period until the tide starts to flow again, I use Reedy’s Rigs because of the good quality pre-tied rig & there affordable.
