Description

NGT Double Hook Loop Sea Rig (Size 1/0 Hooks)

The NGT Double Hook Loop Sea Rig is an essential long-range distance trace designed for sea anglers looking to achieve maximum casting distance while presenting two irresistible baits close to the seabed. By utilizing a specialized loop layout that keeps the trace clipped down tight behind the sinker in flight, this rig eliminates drag and bait wind-propellering, delivering ultimate aerodynamic performance off the beach or rocks.

Tied on a heavy-duty 80lb rig body for safety under power casting, paired with tough 30lb snoods, this trace is built to handle heavy leads, abrasive sea floors, and hard-fighting shore predators.

Key Performance Features

Aerodynamic Clipped-Down Distance

The primary advantage of a loop rig over a standard flapper rig is casting range. Both snoods clip neatly into bait clips situated down near the lead weight. In flight, your entire trace remains completely streamlined in a single line behind the sinker, adding vital extra yards to your cast.

Clean Cascading Release

Upon hitting the surface of the sea, the pressure pop releases the loop line, allowing both snoods to cascade open smoothly. Once settled on the seabed, your two hooks cover an extended footprint, maximizing scent coverage to pull feeding fish straight to your hooks.

Heavy-Duty Line Construction

Built with an 80lb main body line, the trace absorbs the extreme momentum of power casting with 5oz to 7oz lead weights without requiring a separate rig-body shockleader. The 30lb snood line offers extra abrasion resistance against sharp shells, rocks, and toothy fish species.

Size 1/0 Forged Sea Hooks

Fitted with ultra-sharp size 1/0 high-carbon hooks, this rig is tailor-made for medium-to-large beach baits like lugworm cocktails, squid strips, and peeler crab, making it ideal for targeting a wide variety of UK sea fish.

Best Places & Situations to Use

• Distant Sandbars & Open Beaches: Essential when fish are feeding far out past the breakers and maximum casting distance is needed.

• Heavy Tide Runs & Strong Winds: The clipped-down loop arrangement prevents your baits from wrapping around the main line in gusty cross-winds or strong coastal currents.

• Mixed & Gravel Seabeds: Ideal for presenting two distinct baits right along sand and shingle channels where bottom-feeding species scour for food.

Gerrys Pro Tip

To get the best performance out of a loop rig, make sure your snood tension is set correctly before you cast. When clipping your 1/0 hooks into the bait release clips, the line should be taut enough to hold the hook securely without bowing the rig body spine. Always bind your worm or squid baits with fine bait elastic to keep the bait compact behind the hook eyethis guarantees a smooth aerodynamic flight and an instant, clean clip release the moment your lead hits the water!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a 2-hook loop rig differ from a standard 2-hook flapper?

A flapper rig leaves the snoods flapping freely in the air during the cast, which creates wind resistance and reduces distance. A loop rig clips both hooks down tight behind the weight into a single streamlined unit, giving you vastly superior distance and preventing line tangles in mid-air.

What lead weights are recommended with this rig?

Depending on sea conditions, 4oz to 6oz breakaway or impact lead weights equipped with built-in bait clips work brilliantly with this trace.

Will the hooks release automatically on impact?

Yes. The water pressure and sudden impact when the lead strikes the sea surface forces the loop to slip out of the bait clip, allowing both snoods to stream out freely onto the seabed.
