Nitro882 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Does anyone know where I can buy some clambrella rigs? I have tried many local B&Ts but they just look at me funny. And while your at it where should I fish? Can someone tell me a good spot in Ocean County? "We aren't At Large, we're just avoiding the police.."

8ball Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Clambrellas are only made in the spring and usually sell out before July first. A lot of bass fisherman make their own Clambrellas so they get more of a custom feel for them. As to where to use one if you happen to find one, well thats simple - use it in areas where the Clams school up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro882 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think the clams got wind of SIM's impending arrival and will be bypassing the Jersey Shore altogether. "We aren't At Large, we're just avoiding the police.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellslikefish Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 It's easier to just tie your own. You can get the clams from Shop Rite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Lippen Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Who? Me? ***? Nitro knows where the clambrella rigs are. He's just gotta get to the beach first If those guys in the blue bronco 2 and the other moron in the red pickup would stop following me around, I might be easier to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf216 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Take a shot at making your own, find an old small umbrella, usually the folding ones are best. Remove all the material so only the metal is exposed. Next, remove the main shaft (hacksaw it off at the hub) once you do this the you'll notice that the piece remaining to the hub is hollow. Screw a eye hook into the opening. a 5mm size will do. Attached snaps to all the spokes using the holes already in place. Attach main line to barrel to 50lb mono to the eye hook & 3 0 hooks to each snap & bait up. The best thing about this rig is it will fold up on the cast and open once it hits the water and settles down. Hold on tight! I hope no one gives me any heat for offering this up.

AmboyAngler Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 It is going to be priceless when someone actually tries this and lands a monster fish with it....... It is bound to happen... The clambrella will be the next best thing to the Yozuri Mag Darter "Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows."

This should be posted in the "Do it yourself" forum. But I have to commend you on the design. I know it's a pain but I drill small holes into the edges of the clam shells with my cordless drill. I then run the mono directly through the holes. It really helps keeping the clams on the hook when trolling at high speeds. It also helps keep the weighted side of the clam down allowing for a more natural presentation. Most umbrellas have 7 spokes. I found some umbrellas with 8 spokes so I picked up a few. I think it will increase my odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
