Feather Rigs
Feather rigs are one of the most popular and effective methods for catching mackerel, pollock and coalfish from the shore or a boat. Simple to use and devastatingly effective when fish are present, they're an essential part of any sea angler's kit.
- Mackerel feather rigs — the classic 6-hook rig for catching mackerel in numbers
- Pollock & coalfish rigs — heavier rigs for bigger fish over reefs and wrecks
- Sabiki rigs — smaller, more refined feather rigs for bait fish and smaller species
- Luminous & UV feathers — for fishing in deeper or darker water
Drop them to the right depth, jig them up and down, and hold on — when mackerel are shoaling off Scotland's west coast, a feather rig is hard to beat. Also excellent for catching live bait for larger predators.
