The Flexiwing Rig from Paul's Fishing Kites is capable of fishing all of the systems shown on the Pocket Sled pages while running two to three times as many hooks.

It can also fish in lighter or stronger winds than the Pocket Sled Kites.

The Flexiwing Kites' power and stability makes them a perfect choice for casting out other lines and separating with release clips or roller trollers.

Casting Other Lines Out

To cast other lines out, troll with release clips, or to run the reef ledger rig simply unclip the leader line from under the bottle shock cord and clip on the release clip or ledger rig.

The clip is adjustable by using the flush mounted screw slot on the side.

It can be set to release at any tension you desire between 0 and 1.5kg and maintain that tension.

There is no need to reset the release tension every time you go fishing.

It is much better to set the release tension for the size of bait and type of kite you use.

The flush mounted micrometer adjustment can be set from just a few grams up to over 1.5kg release depending on the thickness of the item being released.

Once the adjustment is set it can not be knocked or twisted out of your pre-set tension.

This lightweight clip is also suitable for underwater release (under the float bottle) and is light enough to be used in the mainline without creating the sagging that many other clips cause.

The two horizontally opposed stainless ball bearings will not damage your fishing line for those wishing to use their mainline as the release point. The release clip can even be used for downrigger fishing when smaller lures and baits are deployed.

The Ledger Rig is ideal for kitefishers trying out new areas but are unsure of the bottom type.

These ledger rigs can be made at home or you can purchase ready made rigs from Paul's Fishing Kites. The weight needs to be kept as light as possible so it tows out just below the surface when setting.

The weight can be a pebble attached with a thin rubber band in really reefy areas.

Once set out to the required distance the weight sinks taking the baited hooks toward the bottom.

If the weight snags the pebble will slip out of the rubber band, or the safety trace will snap.

If a single trace snags then only that trace will break. If everything fouls, the top safety trace will break and you will lose the hook section and should try at least 100 metres up or down the beach to find a clearer bottom.

Once you find a good setting area keep a record of landmarks so you can always return to exactly the same spot.

In unfamiliar areas Paul always does five or six sets, about 20 metres apart, and only if the area is proved to be clear will he run his 10 hook sand Dropper Rig.

A constant wind and steady retrieve is required when fishing foul ground to keep the mainline clear of the water and the hooks and weight off the bottom to prevent snagging during setting and retrieval.

Because everything on the Flexiwing Rig clips together it only takes seconds to change fishing rigs.

The Ledger Rig can be made to fish effectively from any of the Dropper Rig Systems.
