I am new to striper fishing, Every time I use a fish finder rig the thing becomes tangled beyond recognition. It does not matter what kind of bait, live, or chunked. I have been fishing this rig in the surf, and off of jetties, and in canals like the one where the Bass river empties into Nantucket sound. How do I properly use this rig? :BenNudd: I have had some luck with a scup rig but seem to catch more eels and sand sharks than stripers.

Hi smulax welcome.gif
welcome to the forum

Here is one proper way to rig a fishfinder


They make them for braided lines as well. More expensive though.
Here the pyramid sinker is clipped to the finder.
You can tie a bank sinker on with line for an easy breakaway
if and when your rig is snagged.
A bank sinker is more aerodynamic and better profile in
rocks. The one pictured is better in sand. you should not
have problems with tangles with this set up. thumbsup.gif

Ps. I use a barrell swivel
