Old Coast Pin Rig

Pin Rig is the spare in the bag for when the cast net stays in the truck — or you don’t feel like throwing it. Single drop. Random bead. #2 bream hook. 20 lb fluorocarbon. Hand tied.

Bring the short 6-foot rod you already carry for surf days. Put a piece of shrimp on the hook and fish the wash for pinfish or whatever small bait is moving by. You feel a bump, or you reel in and the bait is gone. That’s the whole thing.

Not a pompano rig. A way to catch live bait without a net.
