Scratching Rig (Mini Species Rig)

Sometimes the big fish just aren’t biting and anglers need to turn their attention to the smaller species to ensure that they catch something and avoid the dreaded blank fishing session. Alternatively, anglers sometimes specifically target mini species in order to increase their species count or catch a small but interesting new species. Whichever situation is the case this rig is ideal for catching all manner of small fish such as rockling, poor cod, pouting, topknot, eelpout and so on. This rig can be bought with either size 6 or size 4 Cronus Aberdeen hooks.
