It also suits anglers who want the convenience of a completely pre-tied fluorocarbon rig with a quick-change sinker connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Hook Dropper Rig    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ghostpoint Whiting Flasher Dropper Rig uses a single-hook dropper configuration designed to present the bait naturally close to the bottom. The longer hook trace provides greater freedom of movement than a conventional short-dropper paternoster, allowing the bait to waft with the current where whiting and other bottom-feeding species are actively searching for food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Bait Presentation    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dropper-style configuration allows the bait to move more freely with the water rather than being held tightly against the main rig. This creates a natural presentation that can be particularly effective when whiting are present but feeding cautiously or are reluctant to commit to a more static bait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15lb Fluorocarbon    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete rig is tied using 15lb fluorocarbon, providing a fine and discreet presentation suited to whiting and other light estuary and inshore species. Fluorocarbon also provides useful abrasion resistance when fishing around sand, shell and other bottom structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGhostpoint Offset Mutsu Hook    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach rig uses a Bite Science Ghostpoint Offset Mutsu Hook. The Mutsu-style shape is designed to roll naturally towards the jaw hinge as the fish moves away, promoting consistent corner-of-the-jaw hook-ups. The #6 and #4 sizes are particularly well suited to worms, pipis, peeled prawns, squid strips and other common whiting baits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOffset Hook Point  \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe offset point helps improve bite conversion when fish pick up the bait while retaining the characteristic Mutsu action that allows the hook to roll towards the corner of the jaw. This makes it particularly useful when targeting cautiously feeding whiting and other smaller bottom species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemically Sharpened Ghost Point    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGhost Point technology provides a chemically sharpened hook point designed for fast, clean penetration. The rig provides anglers with the same Ghostpoint hook technology found in the dedicated Bite Science hook range in a convenient pre-tied format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNanoslip Hook Coating    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ghostpoint Offset Mutsu Hook features Bite Science NanoSlip coating, providing a low-friction finish to assist penetration while also improving corrosion resistance for regular saltwater fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBelgian High-Carbon Steel Hook Core   \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGhostpoint Offset Mutsu Hooks are manufactured from high-quality Belgian high-carbon steel for consistent strength, controlled flex and dependable performance despite the relatively fine hook sizes used in the rig.\u003cbr\u003eFlasher-Dressed Hook    Flasher material is tied around the Ghostpoint Mutsu Hook to provide additional colour, movement and visual attraction around the bait. It complements natural baits while continuing to move as the hook trace wafts in the current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePink Lumo Bead    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pink lumo bead positioned above the hook provides an additional visual element around the bait presentation and complements the flasher material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuality Top Rolling Swivel   \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quality rolling swivel at the top of the rig provides a convenient connection to the angler's main line while helping reduce line twist as the rig moves in current or is retrieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoastlock Sinker Connection \u003c\/strong\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rolling swivel with Coastlock snap is fitted to the sinker dropper, allowing the angler to quickly attach and change sinkers as depth and current change. This is particularly convenient when moving between different fishing locations throughout a session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for Bomb or Rocket Sinkers    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coastlock snap is particularly well suited to bomb or rocket-style sinkers fitted with a swivel attachment. This creates a secure and convenient connection while allowing sinker weight to be quickly changed to suit water depth and current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e#6 And #4 Hook Options  \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range is available with #6 and #4 Ghostpoint Offset Mutsu Hooks. The #6 provides a fine presentation for smaller baits, while the #4 provides additional hook size for larger baits and broader target applications while retaining the same 15lb fluorocarbon construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReady to Fish   \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fluorocarbon leader, Ghostpoint hook, flasher, lumo bead, rolling swivels and Coastlock sinker snap are already assembled. The angler simply connects the top swivel to their main line, clips on an appropriate sinker, adds bait and starts fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I use the Whiting Flasher Dropper instead of the Whiting Flasher Paternoster?        \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-hook paternoster is an excellent general-purpose option when you want to fish two baits, while the single-hook Dropper provides a more mobile bait presentation. Its longer hook trace allows the bait to waft and move more naturally close to the bottom, making it particularly useful when whiting are present but feeding cautiously or when a more natural presentation is producing better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sinker should I use with this rig?        \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBomb or rocket-style sinkers fitted with a swivel are an excellent match because the Coastlock snap can connect directly to the sinker's swivel. Choose enough sinker weight to keep the rig fishing effectively near the bottom without using unnecessary weight. The Coastlock connection makes it easy to change sinker size as depth and current change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this rig only for whiting?        \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The rig is designed with whiting as its primary target, but its fine 15lb fluorocarbon construction, small Ghostpoint Mutsu hook and natural single-dropper presentation can be used for many other estuary and inshore species. Depending on location, this can include bream, flathead, leatherjacket and other smaller bottom-feeding fish found around Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bite Science","offers":[{"title":"Ghostpoint Whiting Dropper Rig #6 Candy Flesh","offer_id":45213606772944,"sku":"38620","price":5.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ghostpoint Whiting Dropper Rig #4 Candy Flesh","offer_id":45213606805712,"sku":"38621","price":5.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/1956\/0656\/files\/38620-0.jpg?v=1791864361","url":"https:\/\/www.bitescience.com.au\/products\/bite-science-ghostpoint-whiting-flasher-dropper-paternoster-rigs","provider":"Bite Science","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
