FAQs
What size hook comes on the 4x12 rig?
This rig comes standard with a size 16 GPM-B hook.
Can I change the hook size on this rig?
While you can replace the hooklength, doing so may alter the overall balance and performance of the rig.
What is the Dura side eye?
The Dura side eye is a reinforced attachment point on the float that provides extra strength against breakage without adding weight to the float.
What baits work best with this rig?
The rig is optimized for maggots, casters, and small worms.
How should I store these rigs?
Use a standard pole rig winder to keep the line organized and prevent memory or tangling.
Troubleshooting
Line tangling during casting
Ensure the rig is fully extended before the lead touches the water and check that the shotting pattern hasn't shifted during storage.
Float not sitting correctly
Verify that your depth measurement is accurate, as even a small change can affect the buoyancy of the hollow bristle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ready-to-use professional rig saves significant setup time
- Dura side eye increases lifespan of the float
- High-quality Reflo Power line provides reliable strength
- Specifically designed shotting pattern for effective 'on the drop' fishing
Cons
- Size 16 hook may be too small for some larger bait presentations
- Rig setup is specialized for maggot and caster work
- Limited to shallow and mid-depth fishing scenarios
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, attach the rig to your pole tip using a standard stonfo or similar connector. Ensure the float is set to the correct depth before casting; because the shotting is pre-set, avoid moving the Stotz unless you are prepared to re-balance the float. After a fishing session, allow the line and float to air-dry away from direct sunlight to prevent line degradation. Store the rig on a dedicated rig winder to prevent tangles and maintain the integrity of the Reflo Power line.
