The Large Skyhook supplied with this rig gives the kitefisher the added benefit of providing much more pull in adverse conditions such as light winds or strong long shore currents.

The Large Skyhook also helps to keep the mainline supported clear of the water for a greater distance offshore.

The spare dropper cord supplied tied into the mainline allows the kitefisher to run a combination of terminal tackle configurations while still running the conventional sand Dropper Rig on the front shock cord.

While it is easy to fish the 65kg Dropper Rig single handed we think that due to its size and potential catch rate the 65kg Dropper Rig is best suited to be fished by two or more kitefishers.

This is a safe, fun and effective method which can easily run up to 20 hooks per set on the east coast.

We advise running only 10 to 15 hooks per set on the west coast first to check if the sharks are in.
