Abstract: An angling rig comprises a pebble 10 of natural stone and, secured to the pebble 10, an attachment ring 12 for retaining the pebble 10 on a fishing line 14. The attachment ring 12 is secured to the pebble 10 by means of a swivel 16 bonded by epoxy resin adhesive in a bore formed in the pebble 10. The invention provides an alternative to a lead weight which is non-toxic (and therefore ecologically desirable) and also of natural form (and therefore not perceived as threatening by fish), whereby anglers may both help the environment and expect better catches.
