Australian Fishing Rig Finder

Not every fishing rig works in every situation.

The Wiggle ya Worm Rig Finder helps match fishing rigs to your target species, fishing environment, bait choice, tidal current and casting distance using practical Australian fishing knowledge developed through years of real-world experience.

Instead of scrolling through hundreds of rigs, the Rig Finder narrows down the most suitable options based on the conditions you actually fish.

Designed for Australian surf, estuary, reef, offshore and land-based shark fishing.

How It Works

Select the details you know about your fishing conditions. You can leave any field blank. As you make selections, the remaining dropdowns update automatically so only compatible choices are shown.

The Rig Finder considers factors including:

• Target species

• Fishing environment

• Tidal current

• Bait type

• Casting distance

It then recommends up to three rigs best suited to your fishing conditions, explains why they're recommended, suggests suitable sinker setups, and links to setup guides where available.

Built Around Real Australian Fishing Conditions

The Wiggle ya Worm Rig Finder is built on practical Australian fishing knowledge developed through years of fishing, testing and refining rigs across a wide range of conditions.

Rather than offering generic tackle advice or endless product lists, the Rig Finder recommends the rigs most suited to your target species, fishing environment and fishing conditions.

Each recommendation is supported by practical setup advice, sinker suggestions and links to detailed rig guides where available, helping you understand not only which rig to use, but why it suits the conditions.

The recommendation system continues to evolve as new fishing knowledge, techniques and proven rig designs are added.

Fishing with a Drone?

The Rig Finder recommends proven rigs for Australian surf, estuary, reef, offshore and land-based shark fishing—including rigs designed for baits deployed beyond casting range.

Select Deploy / Paddle / Drone under Casting Distance to see suitable rigs matched to your target species, fishing environment, tidal current and bait choice. Where appropriate, the results include heavier shark and drone-deployment systems.

For more detailed information, the Drone Fishing System explains the available rigs and their different applications, while the Australian Drone Fishing Guide covers payload management, deployment and practical drone fishing techniques for Australian conditions.
