Cox & Rawle 3/0 Pennel Boat Rig: The Ultimate Specimen Bait Presentation

For the boat angler targeting hard-hitting species like Rays, Smoothhound, Huss, and Cod, the Cox & Rawle 3/0 Pennel Boat Rig is a masterclass in rig design. At Gerry’s Fishing, we find this setup to be the gold standard for presenting large, natural baits that would otherwise be difficult to mount on a single hook. Hand-assembled in Wincanton, England, this rig is built to handle the rigors of offshore fishing while maintaining a finessed presentation.

The standout feature of this rig is the two-hook Pennel system. By using two 3/0 hooks in tandem, you can present large baits—such as whole squid, large mackerel fillets, or multiple peeler crabs—while ensuring there is a hook point at both ends of the bait. This significantly increases your hook-up potential, as predators that “nip” at either end of the bait are immediately met with an ultra-sharp Cox & Rawle point.

Why the 3/0 Pennel Boat Rig is Essential

Superior Hook-Up Ratio: Large baits often lead to missed bites on single-hook rigs when a fish doesn’t take the entire bait at once. The Pennel system ensures that no matter where the fish grabs, a hook is in the strike zone.
Anti-Tangle Performance: The integrated 4-inch boom provides a vital standoff from the main line. This is crucial when dropping heavy leads into deep water, as it prevents the long snood from spinning around your rig body during the descent.
Natural Movement: Despite its strength, the rig utilizes a longer snood that allows your bait to flutter and “search” naturally in the tide. This lifelike movement is often what triggers a take from a wary predator.
Specimen Grade Components: All hardware is finished in Black Nickel for maximum durability against saltwater corrosion and to reduce underwater glare, ensuring your rig stays “stealthy” and reliable session after session.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

The “Squid Sausage” Technique: To get the best out of this rig, thread the bottom 3/0 hook through the head of a whole squid, then wrap the body around the line and secure the top (pennel) hook through the tail. Use plenty of Gerry’s Bait Elastic to bind the squid into a neat, streamlined shape. This not only makes the bait more durable against smaller “nuisance” fish but ensures the two 3/0 hooks are perfectly positioned to catch any specimen that decides to engulf the bait.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this rig better for up-tide or down-tide fishing?

It excels at both. The anti-tangle boom is particularly useful when fishing down-tide to keep the bait clear of the lead, while the Pennel hook arrangement is perfect for the larger baits often used when up-tiding for big Cod or Rays.

What is the benefit of the Black Nickel finish?

Aside from looking professional, Black Nickel is incredibly resistant to the “pitting” and corrosion caused by saltwater. It also provides a more natural, matte look underwater compared to bright chrome finishes.

Can the top hook be moved?

The Pennel system is designed so the top hook can be adjusted to fit the size of your bait, ensuring it is always presented straight and neat, which is vital for preventing the bait from spinning in the tide.

Are these rigs hand-tied?

Yes, every Cox & Rawle rig is hand-assembled in England using the highest quality components, ensuring that every knot and connection is up to the task of landing a trophy fish.
