Ocean City Surf Fishing Rigs · Ocean City, Maryland

When do anglers use fireball rigs?

Answer

Fireball rigs suspend baits slightly off bottom with colored floats or beads—popular when kingfish and panfish pick at moving presentations in the wash. Wind and surf can tangle floats; check rigs every few casts. Shops adjust float size to wave energy.
