Bookies Rig’s Three Hook Clipped Species Rig

The Bookies Rig’s Three Hook Clipped Species Rig is hand tied by Dean and is his go to rig for targeting mixed species at range. The Three Hook Clipped rig is an effective way of presenting three baits at long range. The three up design gives maximum casting distance whilst the three slightly different bait presentations maximise your opportunities and also give the chance of ‘triple shot’.

The rig is perfect for targeting smaller species such as plaice, bream, gurnard, whiting and pout and is a brilliant rig for Chesil and similar mixed species venues.

You can use a variety of baits with fish, squid and worm all working well. A handy tip is to use different baits to see if the fish have a preference for one over the others

The rig is tied from premium components and the 80lb rig body allows safe powerful casting, The 3 x #2 Varivas Saltwater Champion are tied to 10” 20lb Amnesia snoods and feature a sliding silicone bait stop and sequin. This is handy with worm baits and slides in place to suit your desired bait size.

The rig is tied using Seadra swivel crimps finished with a high quality Seadra X3 crane swivel and you have the choice of either a Gemini Solo or Breakaway Imp bait clip.

Dean Booker is a well-known Welsh saltwater specimen angler who uses his simple but thorough approach to regularly make good catches.

VMO have been collaborating with Dean to make a series of informative and entertaining YouTube episodes and these have featured the rigs which Dean uses for his fishing. We have had a large number of enquiries about the rigs so Dean has been tying extra rigs so that you too can have the right rig to help you catch.
