Drum bait rigs are fairly simple. A 2/O circle on a short (12-24") leader of 20-40 lb. test to a swivel that's fished with a sliding egg sinker and a bead above it. Crab, mullet or any fresh cut bait will work.

The swivel is on the other end of the leader that holds the hook. The bead is next to the swivel and the egg sinker is above it and they both are on your running line. This is a yak fishing rig not a surf fishing rig, that's a whole different ball game.

Thanks for the 1000 words of pic !!! As far as weight I use barely enough to get the bait to the bottom but no more.

The only thing I would add is I like to use one of those plastic slides with a bank sinker in leiu of the egg sinker. Sometimes the egg will cut the line, yes, even braid. The other thing is the pic shows a circle hook and IMO, they suck.

Keeps the sinker from getting stuck on the swivel. Nice Pic by the way. Did you draw that and scan it?

yea the picture was great, thanks alot. so why does this rig better suit drum? |

Drum typically feed off the bottom and whether you use this rig or the 'fish-finder' rig Tom was referring to they keep the bait on the bottom. The last decent Drum that I caught was right at dusk on a Zara Spook Jr. top water bait so they do feed on top also.
