Covering the best surf fishing rigs, best surf fishing setup, that are most used and most effective for surf fishing. These easy surf fishing rigs can be used for beach fishing anywhere. I will show you how to tie surf fishing rigs as well. These easy beach fishing rigs will definitely catch you some fish if there are some around and ready to bite. I will cover the Carolina rig for surf fishing, which here in the PNW we use the Carolina rig for surfperch since we don't have a big variety of species in the surf. I will also cover the high low rig, surf fishing favorite for many. We will be tying dropper loops for our high low rig instead of using 3way swivels. This process is quick, easy and effective and will get you back on the water faster if you have to retie you surf fishing setup.
I usually prefer to pretie a few of my dropper loop rigs before heading out to the beach just in case, though in my experience i haven't ever really broken off when fishing the surf, that could very well be a different story on the beach you are fishing. i know a lot of you in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, just to name a few, have some fish that have the potential to break you off.... here in Oregon you won't find much that will give you a run for your money and really test out your surf fishing setup.
Though these surf fishing rigs are used by most, these are great surf fishing rigs for beginners since they are so easy to tie and use.
As mentioned in the video, the size of hooks, weights, and strength of line used is dictated by the area you are fishing and the conditions. For more of a breakdown of what kind of rod you need for surf fishing, the size of reel, line, hooks, etc. Check Out This Video. I made this video which will give you considerations based on the type of beach you are fishing and the type of species you are targeting. It makes surf fishing for beginners much easier.
