Product Details and Uses

Axia Weighted Boom Rig 15cm 7g – The Finesse Bottom-Feeding Specialist

When the tide is light or you’re targeting wary species in shallower water, a heavy rig can often spook the very fish you’re trying to catch. The Axia Weighted Boom Rig 15cm 7g, available here at Gerry’s Fishing, is the “finesse” version of our popular bottom-feeding series.

This rig is engineered for precision. By using slightly shorter 15cm booms with a subtle 7g weight, it provides just enough ballast to keep your baited hooks pinned to the seabed without the bulk of heavier gear. This ensures a natural, flat-to-the-bottom presentation that is essential for species that “snuffle” along the sand and mud in search of a meal.

Where to Use the Axia Weighted Boom Rig

Shallow Sandy Bays: Perfect for summer shore fishing when the water is clear and the fish, like Sole and Plaice, are feeding in the surf line.
Light Boat “Scratching”: Ideal for those days when the boat is drifting slowly and you need to maximize your catch rate by targeting smaller, tasty bottom-feeders like Dabs.
Estuary Mouths: The 7g weight is perfect for keeping baits stationary in the lighter currents of an estuary without burying the rig in soft silt.
Pier & Harbour Fishing: Use this rig to “drop-down” the side of structures where mini-species and flatfish often congregate in the shadows.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The 15cm/7g version of this rig is the ultimate ‘Sole Hunter.’ Because Sole have small, sensitive mouths and feed primarily by scent and touch along the bottom, they hate a bait that ‘lifts’ or ‘vibrates’ too much in the tide. The 7g weight is the perfect anchor for a small piece of king ragworm or a thin sliver of squid. Try using a slightly longer, lighter rod to feel the ‘tap-tap’ of a flatfish without moving the weighted boom from its spot.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 7g version over the 15g?

The 7g version is designed for calmer conditions or shallower water where a heavier weight might be too intrusive. It offers a more sensitive, ‘finesse’ approach when the fish are being particularly picky.

Does the shorter 15cm boom affect tangles?

Not at all. The 15cm boom is still rigid enough to keep the snood (hook length) away from the main rig body, ensuring a tangle-free presentation even during the cast.

What is the best hook size for this rig?

Since this rig is built for bottom-feeders like flatfish and whiting, we recommend using smaller, sharp hooks—typically between size 6 and size 2, depending on the bait you are using.

Can I use this for ‘Lure’ fishing?

While it’s a bait rig, some anglers use these weighted booms with small soft-plastic lures (like isome or gulp) to ‘bounce’ them along the bottom for Perch or small saltwater species
