You don't need riggers to have a go especially if only running 3 rods but they are good if you got them but you should be able to run 4 or 5 rods ok by your self once you have had a few practice runs. This season was my first real go at it & i had a cupple of solo days where i ended up running 5 when the plan was for 4.

I have just bought a 6.1m Surtees. Most of my fishing will be solo I would guess. I plan on running a short corner, long corner and maybe a shotgun. The questions is will I need outriggers to do this or will I get away with just using rod holders ? There will be many more questions to follow no doubt. Great reading on here and thanks for all the posters that have given me many good ideas. |
