Why Choose a Pulley (Pennell) Rig?

The pulley rig is a proven setup that drastically reduces snagging and improves hookup success compared to traditional paternoster rigs. When a fish takes your bait, the design allows the sinker to slide up the line, lifting it away from rocks and ledges — reducing hang-ups and increasing your chance of landing that fish. It’s a go-to choice for anglers fishing rough ground, reef edges and deep gutters.

Key Features

• Ready-tied and ready to fish

• Strong, abrasion-resistant mono lines

• Precision tied knots for reliable performance

• Dual hook setup for versatile bait presentation

• Works with standard surf sinkers and impact clips

Ideal For

• Snapper fishing from shore, reef and gutters

• Rock fishing where snags and break-offs are common

• Australian salmon, tailor, and mackerel

• Long-distance casting setups

Pro Tip

Pair each rig with a heavy moulded distance sinker and a braid mainline for best casting and hookup results.
