Apart from when im chasing moki or kingfish. A pulley rig is the only rig I really use. The gurnard, snapper and trevally ive caught lately haven't seemed to mind the rig at all.

Everyone has a favored rig they use regularly. In most cases you will make what you use work for you. There is no secret rig that catches anymore fish then the next rod, its just a preference in presentation and casing.

I prefer the pulley rig as the areas I tend to spend more time in require reasonable distance. The pulley rig helps me with that situation, to reach areas I couldn't using other rigs. Ledgers ect...... still work well, nothings changed in the past 50 years..
