You're welcome Patrick. So glad you enjoy the videos. We do our best to answer questions, so if you have any fire away. We love to hear from everyone. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for showing those clips. I thought that's what they looked like. I did recreational so we were limited to 100 hooks and 5 halibut per boat. We usually passed the gear around. I had been out quite a few times on commercial boats but only a few times long lining(like 30 years ago). I still do some trotline crabbing(blue crab) which is similar but don't use clips and depending on boat used sometimes much thinner line and sometimes don't even use snoods(gangions). Recreational trotline is also usually all manual and the movement of boat is used to raise line. It usually makes for a fun day on the water and loads cheap crab. I hope all this is still fun for you and hasn't just become a JOB. To me it's a way of life and sustenance, just wish I had more opportunity to do it.
You guy's are so clever. I appreciate the fact that you take the time to figure out and implement all those little tricks that make your work quicker and more efficient.
Great video, I learned knots and lengths and much much more. The best thing being a non fisherman was how easy it was to understand and not to be baffled by terminology. Well done to you both. !
Your welcome John. I'm glad we made this video as a lot of people have asked the same question. We try to remind ourselves to explain things better and slow down.
Thanks for the slow mo on tying the gear, great video. NOW we would like to hear about the boat. Who was the master mind that made everything so quick to change for one kind of fishing to another.
Thanks for taking the time out of your day to answer all these questions! I noticed you have the swivel on the snap and not the hook side. Is that standard practice with a circle hook to have it tied directly? Reason I ask my local store sells pre made gangions with the swivel on the hook and monofilament looped and crimped on a snap. I would much rather make some like yours for cost and durability. Thanks for all the info and great videos!!
You're welcome LongSack! The swivel on the snap makes them easier to bait and handle as they are not so floppy. We also have old snaps with no swivels that we are slowly weeding out. They also fish fine, but the gangion will twist up more without the swivel.
You bet! We had quite a few comments asking how the snaps were attached, so we thought an overview of the gear would be good content. Hope you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching.
Hi Andre. You sure can. We will have some gardening content coming up soon. We did a major expansion on our garden this year and put in a big crop of potatoes, carrots and onions. We can't wait to see how the harvest turns out!
just discovered your vids ,watched a half dozen or so and subscribbed hehe,will share some of your vids with gear set up on FB so local vishermen here maybe find some tips on improving there fishing,they can use it really a lot as a lot of them are so poor.greets from a belgian expat in the Philippines
Thanks Dee Cee. Sounds like a great cause, helping out the folks there. Give us a shout if we can help with any advice or questions you may have. Best wishes to you and the local fishermen there.
I watched the clip on loading your longline reel by using a come along. Have you thought about attaching an electric winch on the rear bumper of your truck facing fwd. Running the cable under the bed and up through a hole in the bed below the rear window. course each turn or bend would need those roller bars. Just imagine using the remote to pull the reel in the bed. Worth thinking about. I'm all about efficiency.
Great idea. Ideally we'll have a flatbed and gantry to have an easier time, but just doing what we can until then without spending too much time and effort on it, lol. Good comment though, thanks Gus!
Hey love this video and the knots you use. I recently found this knot called the Alpine Butterfly which is a loop knot in a standing line like the one you showed. You might try it. Well described on a channel called Outdoor Boys. And they are not me, in case you are wondering.
Looks like a beautiful summer day in Alaska......I heard summer was on a Thursday this year! :) When you are setting your baited lines do you kinda eyeball the hook placement? Every 6 feet or so? I guess it differs for depth and species? Your videos are terrific.
thanks guys. i wondered how youur gear was set up :) cant wait to see some 50" halibut on it soon :)in the uk its a hot 23 deg c (73?f) today hows the weather in alaska?
What an informative video. I was hoping for a close-up of the clip system and you didn't disappoint. I do have a question: In the unlikely event you had a line snap both ends and lost a longline on the bottom, would you be able to retrieve it using a grapple or some other technique?
Depending on depth and bottom type a grapple will work well. Best for depths under 100 fathoms and muddy or soft bottom. You can also set back over it aiming for the middle of the lost gear and setting perpendicular to it. Often you will catch it and can get it back that way.
This video is great! I was wondering what snaps you were using on your main line. Those c-links are great idea. Always liked your guys videos!! Drama free too:)
Something I noticed recently, though irrelevant, is that when the perfection loop is formed on the terminus of a fishing line if you pull only on the running end inside the loop it will slip through the bite and come undone. If you pull on both, the tension on the standing end bites into the running end and locks it in place. Since you're using it inside, doesn't matter, and I can't imagine a scenario where one could get tension only on the running end.
Awesome very descriptive video guys just wondering if its the same procedure for sword fish and do you have a link for where I can buy all this gear???
Owe one thing might help save on polly cord, might can make a row of screws, at each end of boards, then cut close to screws, with pressed bar to hold it down, then cut, you might save more cord that way. Just wrap around from end to end, just like video, then cut closer to screws. Maybe this help a little, how's it going on the boat you put plastic on, ? Can't wait to see what it looks like when your done. Shallom.
Hmmm. I might not have explained this well in the video. The cut is equidistant between screws. I end up with two bundles of twine the same size. Zero waste of material.
Hey Robert. Jump back to this video. ruclips.net/video/l3tb-RGLU2c/видео.html I think there is also another after it when we are getting ready for Tanners. Thanks
Yep. If you put it through the outside of the eye it makes the hook stick out funny on the gangion, hard to bait. We always go through the inside the the eye.
Thank you..I believe I will get rid of my hard white braided line and give yours a shot on my skate line next time I rig. Putting your loop thru the bottom side is real important..thru the top side just tends to help the fish get off..I was just given some gear..guy couldn't catch much...so he quit trying..every hook had the loop on the wrong way..so I believe it makes a differents...I know I am catching fish with them now...and he wants his gear back to try again..lol
There is always that greehorn that would put the hooks on backwards when we built new gear. They quickly earned the scorn of the crew and learned the error of their ways. I think you will like the green poly. Just make sure you leave a little more tail on the knot and cinch it really good. After a few soaks they get good and tight and shouldn't come untied. Good fishing to you and be safe!
@@EISAlaska ..too funny.. Yeah..I am still learning too. Coming from central Alaska to far southeast Alaska..there has been tons to learn..and easy to learn how to do things the wrong way here..not knowing how to do them the right way yet..boy did I get a lot of bad advice..lol That is why I like you videos..I always get great information from them. Thanks again..and for commenting back on my posts I am still wondering if it makes a different if I fish my skate line on a day with short tide changes like +5 foot low and a +12 foot high...or long tide change like a -2 and a +18. I was told some people won't fish. unless it is a short tide change...can you help me out on this ??
Hey Brett. We really appreciate the comments and questions. I thought I replied to this, but my apologies if I didn't. So here goes. We often fish on small and big tides. But a big tide for us is -2 low to a 12 high, so nowhere near the same water movement. Average may be more like 2 low and 8 high. One thing I tend to notice on big tides is the fish are smaller. I think the big ones have a harder time with the current and will hunker down. I can only imagine a skate swimming in that, it must be like a kite in the wind. Also we like to set a few hours before tide change (high or low) and pull a few hours after. That gives the gear time to fish both sides of the line and cover more ground. Some areas the gear fishes fast (when no bait comes back) like 5 hours is enough. Other places 7-8 hours minimum is better. Other things to try is a variety of bait. Herring, cod, pollock, salmon or whatever is handy or cheap. Soft mud or sandy bottom for skates is usually best, and if you can set your gear through a range of depths that can help dial in the depth where they are. I hope this helps and you can get some nice fish. Be safe out there and good fishing to you.
Hi, Im a follower of your youtube, just want to ask you where you buy the 3/8” bullnose snap with 8/0 swivel. And also the 15/0 circle hooks at 250 packs ? Thank you Ramon
I have a tutorial on how to make that snap/clip that snap/clip is so expensive.. I always waiting for your new upload keep safe EIS Alaska family and God bless.
Hi Nobody. Should be able to find on at a marine gear store. If not order them online from go2marine.com or Seattle Marine Supply. For reference we use 3/8" links.
Hi Billy. We probably lose 30 or so a year. Sometimes they don't get clipped on all the way we we set, or pop off if they get pinched under the roller when we haul. Most of the replacement comes from snags that chafe or tear up the gangion.
@@billybobby-tj9jh Hi. Sorry about that. This just popped up on my notifications yesterday. Anyways, hope that answered your question and thanks for joining us.
Hi! I am interested in getting some of that Green Braided Poly size 72?. Do you know the brand and/or maybe even a link for me to order it? I was going to buy Ashaway Tuna Leader, but if this is better I will go with it instead.
Hi Shawn. Did you ask about this awhile back? Had to go to the store to see what size we used. Turns out the twine size is 60. I think that is the largest they make, but equivalent to #72. Here is a link. joyfish.co/products/high-power-polyethylene-braided-twine?variant=346738527. Just google Powers Braided Polyethylene Twine and you will get more suppliers. Cheers!
Durability and cost come to mind. It's easy to cut and tie new gangions, but the biggest factor is probably chaff and kink resistance. Most of these are well over 6 years old with little sign of wear.
Hi Mike. We pin them on the rim of a galvanized tub. There are a few videos where we are hauling gear where they are getting pinned. They are really easy to move around like that and we can also stack up the tubs to save space.
This is why I'm such an avid fan of your videos.
And there you have it, you literally answered all of my biggest questions. Thank you.

I watched a lot of your videos and 13:58 answers one of my question. Awesome video! :)
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching RZL.
Thanks for the video on your long line. Learned some great knots.
Great to hear, thanks Joseph!
Great video, I learned knots and lengths and much much more. The best thing being a non fisherman was how easy it was to understand and not to be baffled by terminology. Well done to you both. !
Glad it was helpful Keith! That's the idea behind them, we're trying to show how things work as best we can. Appreciate the comment!
The Knot to you tied is called a Perfection Loop. We use it in heavy Mono for tuna fishing, it eliminates the need for ringed hooks.
Its a great knot! Quick and easy.
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you. Fishing of any kind is a passion of mine.
Thanks for joining us Charles. Glad you enjoy the videos.
Great video. I didn't know I was going to learn some new knots while watching. It was neat to see the slow motion of the knots being tied!
Glad you enjoyed it, PNW!
Hi from Western Australia. Very enjoyable videos.
Keep up the good work.

Many thanks!
Ty that was the input I was needing that was very informative thought I had watch every video guess not but I’m up to speed now stay safe my friends
Your welcome John. I'm glad we made this video as a lot of people have asked the same question. We try to remind ourselves to explain things better and slow down.
great vid guys
Great video guys, I enjoyed your no BS way of presentation 👍
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for the slow mo on tying the gear, great video. NOW we would like to hear about the boat. Who was the master mind that made everything so quick to change for one kind of fishing to another.
We have a great video planned going over our boat and the projects we've completed. We'll get to it soon! Thanks Allan.
I believe the last knot looks very similar to a perfection loop, for fly leader to line or tippet to leader. Great video!
I checked it out, stick! Like you said it is similar, with a slight variation. Thanks for watching!
Who says you can’t teach old dogs new tricks. Nice presentation.
Thanks, Cap!
Thanks for showing me, awesome, it just fastens on, that's kewal as beans. Thanks.
I love to see how things are done, thank you for taking the time to make these videos
in the Navy Reserves on our COOP boat div, we used that figure 8 knot and i can't remember what that name is.. Great vid, thanks for showing us..
Thanks for the information. I have been watching for about a week and was wondering how and what of your lines.
good stuff ... appreciate you guys . gives us faith in the family unit doing the right stuff..
Thank you for your knowledge. I have been wanting to do some small longline sets with a pot puller. Now I know how.
Thanks trinidad! Glad we could help, good luck fishing and stay safe.
Learned so much from you guys. Thank you.
You bet Beatrix, thanks for watching!

Good observation! Yeah, it does tend to tighten up better pulling both directions. Great comment, thanks!
Whats the 1 he grabbed at 1:20 ? That he say they stopped using few years ago
Stiff braided gangion twine. It's more prone to chaffing when it gets twisted up.
Thanks. I appreciate it

Can your do a video of your crab pots and gear
Hey Robert. Jump back to this video. ruclips.net/video/l3tb-RGLU2c/видео.html

Does it make difference on what way the hook is put through the loop
Yep. If you put it through the outside of the eye it makes the hook stick out funny on the gangion, hard to bait. We always go through the inside the the eye.
Is it necessary to have a swivel on your snap? Or can you tie right on the snap?
It definitely helps! If you tie it onto the snap, the gangions quickly become twisted up and start hockling and the line gets ruined.
ok I get it now, very nice.
Just FYI.. if you throw some baking soda onto the super glue it will dry faster and the bond is 10 times stronger.
The green line almost seems like the blue cord we use for tuna landlines. Was nice seeing how you rig it
We used to use ashaway blue tuna leader for our cod setups, it wore out fast though. Switched to mono, works great!
Cool
Thank you..I believe I will get rid of my hard white braided line and give yours a shot on my skate line next time I rig.

What size is the Green Braided Poly?
We use size 72. It is a little tighter when putting on the hook, but sure is alot more durable than traditional gangion material.

Hi Ramon. We buy ours at the local marine supply store. You may be able to order from Seattle Marine Supply and have them shipped to your location.

Hey Edwin. Look for something like this OLIVENE TWINE POLY 4.4#. It's basically a polyethylene braided twine.

Neat tutorial! Thanks for the comment.
Thanks guys for the reply Eis in Irish means fish
Wow. That is cool. Really fitting for our business and channel. Thanks Garry.
Where can I buy a few "sea link"? I use the screw-type quick link for crabbing but it's very slow to open or close them.
Hi Nobody. Should be able to find on at a marine gear store. If not order them online from go2marine.com or Seattle Marine Supply. For reference we use 3/8" links.
whats a circle hook? looks hard to get a hook up ... are they mustad l5/0?
Hey Scott. They are easy to bait, just use a twisting motion. They are 15/0 Mustad.
Those snaps must be really strong to hold those large halibut!
very interesting.....
Glad you think so, bob.

Good
Omg I fell stupid that’s the only video I haven’t watch lol my bad rock on guys
drop of superglue on that knot helps with fraying and knots coming undone ...

do they fish as well as nylon ?
@@ropelv Yes, just as well. And much more durable. They don't hockle and get a weak spot like nylon when it gets twisted up.
Looks like a great life to live.. out of the rat race and in the wild blue yonder.
