Classic Surf Pompano Rigs

I prefer pompano rigs with two hooks and a 1- to 3-ounce pyramid sinker as the anchor.

Keep a few different weights at your disposal and adjust accordingly.

I adapted my hard baits to use a single large hook. It resulted in the successful landing of more big fish than with the original hardware.
