Rig finder
Tell us what the lake bed is like, where the fish are, what bait you're using, how far out you're fishing and the time of year. You'll get a rig to start with, the reasons behind it and a back-up option.
The rig finder needs JavaScript switched on. Without it, start with the hair rig on clean bottoms, the chod rig over weed or deep silt, and a zig rig when the fish are up in the water.

These are starting points, not rules. Watch the water, check your rig every cast and follow your fishery's rules: some waters ban chods, braid or certain lead set-ups. Whatever you choose, the lead must be able to come free if the line breaks.
