Uncle Larrys elevator rig
I needed something that sunk quick and could be slowly dragged along the bottom - it also needed to have interchangeable lead weights and lures.
I'm sure it already exists but I havent seen it before edit (also comes in a quick change option) Last edited by yellow door 1; 20-11-2018 at 02:31 AM. |

Here is my effort Larry, been using it in current for Snapper for some years. One uses the original elevator hook the other a standard hook which i simply thread the plastic over the eye of the hook to hold the plastic in place. Note the not pretty but effective weight change clip

It basically looks like a dropshot rig with a lot more metal.
I've used a similar set-up for the Jewies...without the metalwork. My lure was usually attached about 30cm above a 3/8 or 1/2oz sinker, but I'd vary that distance depending on the fish marks on my sounder. The plan was to put the lure at a similar height to where the fish were, basically shoving it in the Jewies face. It all sounded good in theory, but the catch rate wasn't as good as I'd hoped.

I figured with the extra drag of the lure - I shouldnt be going lighter than 30 grams for my baited paternosta - I usually like to cast along way from the lightly weighted full pilchard rigs to avoid tangles. Another reason I wanted to have the lure on a short leash - is so it wouldnt tangle with with the baited hooks while casting. I also like the idea of the lure "Slow Grubbing" its way along the bottom as the boat swings. But In all the excitement of trying to solve this problem - I forgot about the Vic fisheries regs on how many hooks you could have on the one line. I stuck the photos up just in case it had some deep water/strong current applications Last edited by yellow door 1; 20-11-2018 at 08:49 PM. |

I'm a bit annoyed I just paid 50c a piece for tri-swivels I dont need - Oh well - Its a small price to pay for learning a better way - thanks for the tip. |

I have always been a bit suspect on the 3 way swivel idea. OK for smaller species perhaps but i worry about bigger models.
I find the split ring idea works best and simply changing the weight with the ring, only takes a few seconds. Simply add a split ring to any hook you want to use and then the appropriate weight and away you go.

Swims even better than I thought it would.

Reminds me a bit of this rig, skip to about 9 min for tank footage.
personally I think a rig like that would benefit from having something with a large volume tail/flap like the craw used in the vid above to get a lot of movement out of it. Even just something with a lot of appendages might do the trick. |

If the truth be known - I was trying to copy Berkleys Elevator rig after watching a Vid of a bloke using a Shimano Lucanus Jig as a sinker on a baited paternosta
I'll try to track down that vid aswell Last edited by yellow door 1; 22-11-2018 at 06:38 AM. |
