Dennett Saltwater Pro Series 2 Hook Flatfish Rig

Overview

The Dennett Saltwater Pro Series 2 Hook Flatfish Rig is a professionally pre-tied sea fishing rig built specifically for targeting flatfish from beaches and piers. It forms part of Dennett's Saltwater Pro range, manufactured under the product family TS-PRO132*, with Size 1 coded TS-PRO1321 and Size 2 coded TS-PRO1322.

Constructed with a strong 60lb main line and fluorocarbon snoods, the rig is designed as a convenient ready-to-fish setup that saves anglers the hassle of tying their own traces. The two-hook arrangement allows two separate bait presentations on a single rig, increasing the chances of attracting flatfish feeding over clean ground.

The Size 1 version is documented at 100cm / 39.4 inches in length and is described as suitable for medium to long-distance casting, making it a practical choice for covering more ground when fishing from the shore.

Perfect For

This rig is purpose-built for beach and pier fishing over clean ground, making it an excellent choice for anglers specifically targeting plaice, flounder and dab. The two separate hook presentations mean two baited hooks can be fished at once, giving flatfish more opportunity to find and take a bait.

Suitable bait options specifically listed for use with this rig include crab, lugworm and ragworm, all classic flatfish baits favoured by shore anglers. Anglers fishing medium to long-distance casts from open, clean-ground marks will find this rig well suited to their needs.

Technical Insight

The use of fluorocarbon snoods on this rig is a deliberate design choice, as fluorocarbon offers properties valued by flatfish anglers fishing clear, clean-ground marks where fish can be more easily spooked by visible line. Pairing this with a robust 60lb main line gives the rig the strength needed to handle casting and retrieval without the main line being the weak point of the setup.

Being pre-tied, the rig removes the need for anglers to construct their own flatfish traces, offering a consistent, ready-made presentation straight from the packet. The two-hook design also means anglers aren't limited to a single bait type or presentation, allowing a crab bait on one hook and worm on the other, for example, to see what the fish are responding to on the day.
