A masthead rig on a sailing vessel consists of a forestay and backstay both attached at the top of the mast. ref Cite book last Dedekam first Ivar title Sail and Rig Tuning publisher John Wiley & Sons date 2000 pages 62 isbn 1898660670 ref The Bermudarig can be split into two groups the masthead rig and the fractional rig . The masthead rig has larger and more headsails, and a smaller mainsail, compared to the fractional rig. The major advantage a masthead sloop has over a fractional one, is that the jib is larger. Since the jib has no mast in front of it to cause turbulent airflow over it, it is considered much more efficient than the main, especially for sailing up wind. Also, since the fore stay is attached to the top of the mast, it pulls directly against the back stay. Tightening the back stay, then, increases the tension on the fore stay. This is useful because the jib needs considerable fore stay tension to set well. This need increases in direct proportion to the wind speed and jib size. Increasing the tension on the back stay does not tend to bend the mast, as it would on a fractional sloop. It puts the mast in compression instead. For this reason the mast on a mast head rig has has a thicker section at the top to stand this load. One reason this rig is used on ocean going boats is that it can be made quite strong as every part of it, except the boom, is in either tension or compression. This rig requires a much stiffer hull than a fractional sloop rig to take these rigging loads, so is not well suited for lightly built boats. A major disadvantage is that, to shorten sail, the jib must be reefed as well as the main.

inlinerefs date January 2011 The chod rig is a technique for carp fishing , it has seen a lot of publicity in late 2009 and 2010 for its fish catching ability. The chod rig is consistently effective at catching carp, generally regarded to have two main advatages the way in which it allows a bait fishing bait to be displayed over soft mud, weed or debris is the first key benefit and secondly is the distinct shape of the rig itself and the way the chosen bait usually a bhouyant substance is attached. The latter benefit is also generally utilised in the chod rig s immediate ancestor, the well knnown and used, stiff hinged rig. In so it revolves around a rig consisting of a rigid or stiff link, an aggressively angled hookpoint and the ability to spring 360 degrees around the axis of the hook. The chod rig is widely used and developed by large fishing manufacturers such as Korda. Industry head liners like Jim Shelley and Terry Hearn use the chod rig to great effects. Known carp like Benson fish Benson and Heather the Leather have been captured by the chod rig Overall the two key features of the chod combine to make it very difficult for a carp to avoid or physically dislodge the hook once being snared. Also, the hookholds that the chod delivers are generally very strong and secure, causing less damage to the fish s mouth. Not only do very few fish fall off with this set up, but they suffer minimal damage.

The system continued in use into the 20th century in the Hebrides . In Ireland , a similar system was called rundale .

The Texas rig is a technique used for fishing with soft plastic lure s. It involves a bullet shaped Fishing sinker weight being threaded onto the fishing line first followed by an optional glass or plastic bead, and then the line is secured to a Fish hook hook , usually an offset worm hook. The hook is then inserted into the head region of the worm and exits the worm about 1 4 of an inch down the worm. The worm is then moved up the hook towards the shank and then rotated so that the worm is now locked on the shank. The point of the hook is then thread back into the body of the worm to make the rig weedless. The bead is fully optional. Some anglers find that the added noise or color a bead can provide gives them an advantage in stained or muddied water, because the clicking imitates a crayfish crawling over rocks and debris, while some anglers think that the bead detracts from a realistic presentation considering that most worms will not click. When fishing in open water without much cover to snag on, the Texpose Rig is a better choice than a Texas Rig because it increases the number of fish you will hook. In a Texpose rig, you set it up the same way you would a Texas rig, except you push the hook point all the way through the body of the worm so it is slightly exposed. In a Texas rig, you will hook less fish than a Texpose because the hook point is not exposed, but you won t hang up like you will sometimes in a Texpose. The Texpose does not increase bites, but you will hook fish easier due to the exposed point. The Texas Rig is not a search rig like a spinnerbait or a crankbait . It is usually fished by throwing the soft plastic as close to cover as possible with the goal of placing the worm as close to a black bass bass as possible.

Unreferenced date July 2011 A bitting rig or bitting harness is a horse training training tool for horse s that can teach a horse to accept a bridle and bit horse bit , and later assist a horse in developing the necessary musculature for a given equestrianism discipline. Generally used in conjunction with training on a longeing longe line , it is most often seen in the training of Saddle seat horses, but also is used by some dressage trainers and as a tool to start horses in Driving horse driving . A basic bitting rig consists of a surcingle also known as a roller that has a number of rings on either side, placed at varying heights, usually with a crupper to prevent the surcingle from sliding forward. A bridle is also part of a bitting rig, with side reins and rings or small pulleys on either side of the browband to accommodate an bearing rein overcheck . Some variations use pulleys and leverage on side reins to create a given headset. Other designs add straps resembling Breeching tack breeching on the hindquarters to encourage engagement of the horse s rear end. The use of only a surcingle and side reins, a common component in basic horse training across all equestrian disciplines, is not usually considered a bitting rig. It is the use of additional reins such as the overcheck, or the use of leverage to place the horse s head in a set position that turns a classic surcingle into a bitting rig. Both a bitting rig and a classic surcingle with side reins are intended only to be used while longeing a horse. They are not to be used on a horse that is standing in a stall though this is a very common type of misuse , nor are they used while riding. However, the surcingle and side reins are used as safety tools in the sport of equestrian vaulting .
