Drachkovitch Rig for those of you that read P&P this was adequately described in Issue 61 December 2002 by James Holgate. For those of you that don't its a very simple but deadly sink and draw rig designed by France's leading predator angler, Albert Drachkovitch, approximately 30 years ago. Its never been modified because it can't really be improved upon. We have acquired it in 2 weights and 2 breaking strains - see table below. See below for detailed instructions.

Spira Jig: Designed and manufactured in England, the Spirajig is a very simple yet very clever idea. It can be used with all types of soft plastics and all types of real bait. It can be used for power casting or vertical jigging and just about every discipline in between. Below are complete and comprehensive instructions on how to use this rig for casting or as a jigger. Can be used with single hooks, pennel rigs, treble hooks or ready made stingers.

• The freshwater pack consists of 1 x 19g, 1 x 24gm 1 x 34g.

• The saltwater pack contains 1 x 30g, 1 x 62g, 1 x 98g.

Spira Jig Instructions for use:

Allcocks Spinner Mount: also known as an "Archer Flight" this item started life in around 1875, has gone through various evolutions, weighted and unweighted, and what you see here is today's version of this item.

The blade separates enabling you to pierce the head of the dead fish bait which secures it to the rig, the spike going down the throat and through the body parallel to the spine, leaving you a short trace with a single treble and a slightly longer trace with two trebles to mount where you please. This rig actually causes the bait fish to spin adding an extra "twist" to deadbait wobbling. Available in two sizes.    Prices...

Allcock Weighted Minnow Mount: Here we have another revived Allcock product with a 21st century twist, that being the spinner blade is made from perspex, the total weight is 4g all mounted on a brass pin and the two size 8 treble hooks are tied to the same piece of 7-strand stainless steel wire so that you can adjust the length to suit your bait.
