3 Hook Hand-Tied Whiting Fishing Paternoster Rigs – 3 Pack

BAIT IT. CAST IT. FIND THE WHITING.

Whiting rigs don't need to be complicated.

You need light trace, long-shank hooks that suit worm and prawn baits, and a rig that lets those baits move naturally along the bottom.

The ReproBaits 3-Hook Whiting Paternoster Rig is tied around exactly that idea.

Each rig uses three #4 red long-shank hooks on light 10 lb trace giving you three bait presentations working at once.

Clip on your sinker.

Add some beachworms, pipis or prawn.

And start covering water.

THREE BAITS IN THE WATER

Whiting often move through sand flats, gutters and channels rather than sitting in one place.

A three-hook paternoster lets you present several baits at once while you search for feeding fish.

Each pack contains three complete rigs, with three hooks on every rig.

That's:

3 rigs.
3 hooks per rig.
9 bait presentations in the pack.

Simple tackle designed to spend more time in the water and less time being tied on the beach.

#4 RED LONG-SHANK HOOKS

Whiting have relatively small mouths and are commonly targeted with long, narrow baits such as:

  • Beachworms
  • Bloodworms
  • Tubeworms
  • Pipis
  • Prawn strips

That's why each rig is fitted with #4 red long-shank bloodworm-style hooks.

The longer shank gives you plenty of room to thread worm and strip baits along the hook while also making hook removal easier once the fish is landed.

The red finish adds a small flash of colour around the bait without turning the rig into something unnecessarily complicated.

LIGHT 10 LB TRACE

Whiting spend much of their time feeding over sand, mud and shallow estuary bottoms where a subtle presentation can matter.

The 10 lb monofilament trace keeps the rig light enough for baits to move naturally with the current rather than looking stiff and overbuilt.

It's a practical balance for targeting:

  • Sand whiting
  • Yellowfin whiting
  • King George whiting

as well as other small estuary and inshore species that pick up the same baits.

A LITTLE LUMO BESIDE EVERY BAIT

Each hook trace carries a small lumo bead positioned close to the hook.

It's not there to turn the rig into a Christmas tree.

It's simply another small visual point close to the bait that may help attract attention in:

  • Slightly dirty water
  • Deeper gutters
  • Low-light conditions
  • Early morning and evening sessions

The bait still does the real work.

The bead just gives the fish another reason to investigate.

QUICK SINKER CHANGES

At the bottom of the rig is a weight attachment clip.

That means you're not cutting and retying the rig every time the conditions change.

Use a lighter sinker when the water allows it.

Go heavier when:

  • The current picks up
  • The wind increases
  • You need a longer cast
  • You need the rig to stay put
  • Clip the new sinker on and keep fishing.

HOW TO FISH THE RIG

1. Connect the rig

Attach the top swivel to your main line.

2. Add your sinker

Clip your preferred beach or estuary sinker onto the bottom weight attachment.

3. Bait the hooks

Thread on your preferred whiting bait.

Beachworms, pipis and prawn are all good places to start.

4. Cast into likely water

Look for:

  • Beach gutters
  • Sand banks
  • Channel edges
  • Drop-offs
  • Estuary flats
  • Current lines

5. Let the bait work

Whiting spend a lot of time moving and searching.

Give the rig enough time to settle, but don't be afraid to move and cover water if nothing is happening.

MADE FOR AUSTRALIAN WHITING FISHING

These rigs are suited to fishing from:

  • Beaches
  • Estuaries
  • Jetties
  • Pontoons
  • River mouths
  • Boats
  • Other sandy inshore areas

They're particularly useful when you want a straightforward pre-tied whiting rig that can be attached quickly and fished without carrying half a rigging bench with you.

WHAT'S IN THE PACK?

Each pack contains:

  • 3 × complete hand-tied whiting paternoster rigs
  • 3 × #4 red long-shank hooks per rig
  • 9 hooks total
  • 10 lb monofilament trace
  • 1 × lumo bead on each hook trace
  • Bottom sinker attachment clip
  • Top swivel for connection to the main line
  • Sinker not included.

LESS TYING. MORE TIME FINDING FISH.

Whiting fishing is often about finding the right patch of sand and putting a good bait in front of moving fish.

The rig doesn't need to make that harder.

Clip it on.
Bait the hooks.
Cast it out.

Then concentrate on finding the whiting.
