The Bookies Rig’s Conger Pulley Rig is hand tied by Dean and is his go to rig for targeting conger. The shorter length gives perfect presentation with big fish baits and is perfect on the rougher marks where the bigger eels and huss tend to lurk.
When you are playing a fish the pulley design keeps your sinker well above the fish hugely reducing the risk of it snagging if you need to bring the fish over boulders or reef edges.
The rig is tied from premium components and the 150lb rig body and hook snood allow safe powerful casting, even with 8oz sinkers, and will withstand the teeth of a large eel. The pennelled 8/0 Varivas BMX hooks help to present a decent sized bait and will not let you down once the fish is hooked.
The rig is finished with high quality crane swivels and is available with a Gemini Solo 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.
*Please note we try to keep the specification of this rig as near as possible to the illustration but exact components used may vary slightly due to issues with supply.
