Cox & Rawle 1/0 Scratching Rig: The Ultimate Multi-Species Match Rig

When the fishing is tough and every bite counts, you need a rig designed to “scratch” out a result. At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend the Cox & Rawle 1/0 Scratching Rig as the premier choice for targeting a wide variety of species when conditions are challenging. This three-hook, reversible flapper rig is engineered to maximize attraction and coverage, making it a “must-have” for match anglers and pleasure fishers alike.

The rig features three short, 30cm snoods that are strategically positioned to flutter in a running tide. Each snood is fitted with beads and sequins for added visual attraction, acting as a dinner bell for curious fish. Whether you are fishing over clean sand for flatfish or mixed ground for whiting and gurnards, this rig ensures that you have three high-attraction baits working the water column simultaneously.

Why the Scratching Rig is a Game-Changer

Maximum Attraction: The combination of sequins and beads provides both flash and color. This is particularly effective for sight-feeders like Plaice and Dabs, who are often drawn to the movement and sparkle of the rig before they even smell the bait.
Reversible Versatility: The rig is designed to be reversible. Depending on how you clip it to your shockleader, you can fish it with all three hooks high (3-up) to find fish moving in the tide, or flip it to place a hook closer to the seabed for bottom feeders.
Tangle-Resistant Snoods: The 30cm length of the 30lb snoods is the “sweet spot” for presentation. They are short enough to resist tangling in heavy surf and strong tides, yet long enough to allow your bait to move naturally and enticingly.
Heavy-Duty Body: The 50lb rig body provides the strength and safety required for casting, while the 30lb snoods offer enough abrasion resistance to handle larger “bonus” fish like Bass or rays that might intercept your scratching baits.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

The “Cocktail” Strategy: When “scratching” for multiple species, try using a different bait on each of the three hooks. Put a small piece of ragworm on the top, a sliver of mackerel in the middle, and a tipped-off lugworm on the bottom. This allows you to quickly identify what the fish are preferring on that specific day. Once you start getting bites on a particular bait, you can switch all three hooks to that “winning” combination to maximize your catch rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 1/0 hook too big for Dabs and Whiting?

Not at all. A 1/0 hook is a fantastic all-rounder. It is small enough for the mouth of a decent Dab or Whiting while still being strong enough to land a much larger fish, such as a Bass or a Smoothhound, should one decide to take your bait.

Can I use this rig from a boat?

Yes. While designed as a shore scratching rig, it is incredibly effective for light-drift boat fishing when targeting species like Black Bream, Gurnard, or Flatfish in relatively shallow water.

What is a “reversible” rig?

A reversible rig features a link swivel at both ends. This means you can attach your lead to either end and your shockleader to the other. By flipping the rig, you change the height of the hook snoods relative to the seabed, helping you find where the fish are feeding.

Will the sequins stay on?

Cox & Rawle use high-quality components and secure “stops” to ensure the beads and sequins stay in place during the cast and while fishing in heavy water. However, it’s always a good idea to check your snoods for nicks after catching a fish to maintain rig integrity.
