Paternoster (fishing)
A paternoster is a leader on which, in addition to the bait attached at the end, some more are attached to side arms , but usually no more than five. Often only the side arms are baited and a piece of lead is attached to the end of the paternoster to weigh down in order to reach the desired water depths.
The purpose of this method is to increase the attractiveness of the target fish by offering several baits at the same time . Paternosters are often used either when the target fish lives in schools or when their food envy needs to be stimulated. In this case, z. B. hung a large pirk at the end of the leader and the side arms are equipped with smaller baits. When the system is pulled up, the pirk simulates a fish that is hunting smaller fish.
This type of fishing is preferred for target fish such as herring , mackerel , cod .
