Product Details and Uses

Axia Twisted Boom Rig – 20cm | The Ultimate Anti-Tangle Boat & Shore Rig

When you are fishing in heavy tides, deep water, or turbulent surf, the last thing you want is a tangled mess of snoods. The Axia Twisted Boom Rig, available here at Gerry’s Fishing, is engineered specifically to combat the “birds-nest” effect.

By utilizing 20cm twisted metal booms, this rig provides a rigid, stand-off arm that keeps your baited hooks far away from the main rig body. This ensures your bait is always fishing effectively, rather than spinning around your mainline. Whether you’re targeting whiting in a winter gale or fishing deep-water marks from a boat, the Twisted Boom Rig offers the stability and strength needed for demanding conditions.

Where to Use the Axia Twisted Boom Rig

Strong Tide Runs: The twisted metal arms are much stiffer than plastic alternatives, meaning they won’t collapse against the rig body even in the heaviest coastal currents.
Winter Boat Fishing: A classic choice for “scratching” over wrecks or sandbanks. The 20cm spread allows you to present three different baits at varying heights off the seabed.
Deep Water Marks: When your rig takes a long time to reach the bottom, the booms act as “propellers” to keep the snoods extended during the descent, preventing tangles before you even start fishing.
Rough Ground Margins: The robust construction means this rig can handle the occasional knock against rocks or kelp without the booms bending out of shape.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The beauty of the twisted boom is its rigidity. To maximize this, I recommend using a relatively stiff snood material—like a high-quality fluorocarbon or a heavy-duty clear mono. This ‘stiffness-on-stiffness’ approach makes the rig almost 100% tangle-proof. If you find the fish are feeding right on the sand, use a longer snood on the bottom boom to let the bait trail behind the lead, while keeping the top two short for active hunters like Whiting.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these booms better than plastic ones?

Yes, in heavy weather or deep water. Plastic booms can bow and flex, allowing the bait to wrap around the rig. The twisted metal design is significantly more rigid and durable for long-term use.

What size hooks should I use with this rig?

Because it’s a versatile “paternoster” style rig, you can use anything from a size 4 for flatfish up to a 3/0 for larger Codling or Bass, depending on the snood weight you choose.

Does it come pre-tied with hooks?

This is the rig body and booms only, giving you the flexibility to tie your own custom snoods and choose the hook pattern that best suits the bait you are using on the day.

Is it suitable for long-range casting?

While designed for stability, these booms do create some air resistance. It’s an exceptional rig for boat fishing or short-to-medium range shore casting where presentation is more important than distance
