Good to see the man cave in use looks toasty warm in there core a year has pass us by seems like yesterday watching last years man cave winter vlog how time flies
Nice one Graeme. A very good rig and also nicely versatile. Similar to one of my favorites that I started using in the 80’s, which was good for distance on clean beaches. By the way Graeme if you leave a small floating rubber ball or short length of hose held against the side vertically it relieves the pressure of the ice, when it contracts and expands. Maybe a small screw through the broom head into the shaft would help, too.
Hi Graham...thats a three hook clip down... the spring at the top takes up the stretch when you cast so the snoods don't come unclipped when the rig relaxes after the stretch incurred when casting.... also the thinner snoods would stay a little stretched and no longer clip down or stay clipped down in subsequent casts... hope that makes sense... thanks for all your entertaining and informative videos... get well soon and stay well...hope to bump into you on the beach or Bank one day.... regards Rob w
Hi Graeme. Very entertaining. Thankyou. At three score years and ten, like you I have dread of cold wet bank hands - but now the box of black nitrile gloves left over from the dreaded covid days come into their own. Slip 'em on under two finger fingerless work gloves (no comments please) and bingo. No water on the digits and relatively warm hands, dextrous enough to tie a knot, friendly enough to grip a slippery Bream and smooth enough not to get hooked up on. On with my goggles and off I go. Dry the gloves on the car heater vent on the way home (open the window a bit) chuck the nitriles in the recycling and happy days! Good luck Sticky All from Amazonia, £13 squid for the Scruff gloves (plenty of options) and & £8 for the black nitriles. With some personal variation you should be good for an awesome winter season.
Sounds a goods tip,I think others have mentioned putting "covid" gloves on under other gloves to keep moisture off,so must work. Thanks for posting,it might help others as well.
Thanks for the close-up on the whackernoster, I'll give it a try. When demonstrating clipped rigs I find it easier to hang the rig vertically on a wall from a hook/screw. That way the weight of the lead keeps the clipped rig under tension without getting your arms in a tangle.
Thanks so much for always sharing your knowledge Sir, its much appreciated :) Lovely looking hot dogs and good to see the Mrs making a cameo appearance ! Get well soon buddy and keep up the good work . Cheers.
Good one Graeme. A good rig, I use them as scratching rigs with small hooks and baits if my big baits don't get any interest. Supposed to warming up here in S. Devon from Sunday so might get out and wet a line in a few days.
Could do with the weather settling down and creeping up a few degrees. I was going beach fishing last night but cancelled when I saw the minus temperatures..I think Sunday onwards the wind is going down with a high pressure coming in,I just hope it doesn't get an Easterly set in it .
Nice one Graeme, looks like the bat cave is ready for some decoration , use water based stain next time, it's micro porous and won't peel off like oil based stain. ( I'm a decorator ) . Trust me .
Just a little tip I've found cooking on my log burner, if the burner is to hot for cooking put some 2pence coins on top, can stack them of needed and put the pan on them. Works well 😉
😆 I sympathise with you, at Christmas, my grand daughter gave me the lurgy too. Just left with the chesty cough. Need to get some fishing in, hopefully soon!
Nice video Graham, these are great rigs I've been using them for years. You can adapt the bottom snood so it fishes the bottom, I crimp it above the lead and put the cascade mid way on the snood lt works a treat.
Hey Graeme I got the man's flu a couple of weeks ago it really kicked me in the butt. Get well soon. You have to take your time with this bloody cold weather. I hate it
we always called these triple drops made them ourselves with out the fancy hook holders or springs hell we didn't even have worm stops. caught my biggest red fish on one a few years back near the Mansfield cut in corpus, good times.
As far as I can remember the leads with wings on were made by a guy in Cardiff (DCA) moulds and were actually sold as a lead lift mould, IE come up in the water on retrieval, supposedly!!!.
Yes, I think they were DCA moulds .I had several made by them in different shapes and sizes and they are still going strong. I find the ones with the vanes can get bent on the retrieve over rocky ground which may alter the flight on the next cast. If bent I usually straighten them back with pliers.
Hi Graeme, Great video. I use Sakuma Power Gum for all stop knots including float stop knots. It's a sort of rubber fishing line for want of a better description. You just tie a couple of knots around your line with it, trim it and it slides up and down your line. Highly recommend it, super easy and super quick. Steve in Fife.
That's the best man cave ever Graheme! ... how the hell do you keep the secret from the missus though, when she finds washing-up dishes & other jobs that she wants doing?? 😨😨
Hi Graeme, I saw a flasher on the wall in the background, I am just back in Ireland from Canada where I was using flashers for Coho and Kokanee Salmon, wondering if you have found much use for them in the UK? Hoping to try for salmon here and maybe some ling over reefs from the boat
Always worth a try. I used to drop them in front of a hoochee lure when I was filming out on the West coast of Vancouver Island. They seem bizarre but they seem to work well on the Salmon. I used them with a downrigger ,but also worth trying towing a sandeel lure behind them for Pollack over the reefs. Don't know about Ling though.
I wouldn't have used polyurathane glue on that job, simple super glue would have done it especially if you'd have applied accelerator to one side of the plaque, 20 seconds holding it down. Polyurathane as you say expands and would swell over and off the work piece. I only hope you managed it well in the end.
Graeme, I use a simple nail to hammer the groove in lead's perfect shape and neat. Love all your vids mate through the years. Never give up, as it will leave a big void in my RUclips viewings Mike does a great show as well watch all he puts out as well. By the way when you shot a vid on Brixham breakwater a while back you were right by my boat a trusty 21 by the name of Lovely maid. That chuffed me up no end. Sadly there are too many seals in the area now and has decimated the fish stocks in and around the harbour. Myself losing many bass and thick lipped mullet. They know exactly how to unhook mackerel too and are not afraid of humans. I love wild life, but they certainly are a menace as you think of the old otter on our rivers. Everything has to find its natural balance.
Was trying to buy some hot dogs or similar the other day and thought I'd find some decent ones so started reading the ingredients and all of them except one were made of mechanically removed Chicken so bought the one that was 68% pork and twice the price, Hoping that the other 32% was nothing too bad.
Haha...who knows what was in the remaining 32% ??.....its like a meaty lottery....Donkey brains....Pig lips....Monkey feet ...I guess we'll never know...
I have no idea actually but it does make me wonder,there could be a place in long distance carp fishing.I assume you mean the cascade swivels with the tiny hook holder ? Ask in your local tackle shop or check online,they can't cost much as they are so small.
@@TAFishing yep if fishing long helicopter rigs with soft braid , first time id come across these hook releases not really dipped my toe in the sea fishing side before myself not being that close to the coast unfortunatley😇
Not home made..have you never seen my metalwork..its not pretty !!...Its a commercial make called a G-Stove.I think the Tackle shack one is the XL size but we also have the standard size in our Pallet cabin in the woods and its good,just not as large. Mike did use to have a discount code running on his T.A. Outdoors films,but I don't know if it still works. You could message him to find out.
Hi there Oz, I guess all our rigs must seem a bit nerdie given the huge amount of fish action you guys have over there(I've fished the Barrier reef at Cairns,plus the Daintree/Barramundi etc)...but you have to realise every country is different. We don't have the huge amount of fish species you have,so many people over here are actually grateful to catch anything,even small fish. This is what we would call a scratching rig,just to salvage some sort of catch ,and it is really good for that...I didn't make it,so I don't get points for trying,its a commercially made shop-bought rig....Might be a bit light for the billfish off Townsville though.
Good to see the man cave in use looks toasty warm in there core a year has pass us by seems like yesterday watching last years man cave winter vlog how time flies
srt spring help compress the rig to geather so the snoods dont flap around in the cast keeps it compact and stream line
Another belter 👍
Keep up the good work, ile see you on the next 1 💯👏

I will certainly be trying this off Boscombe Pier when it warms up a little bit!
Might be some Plaice around,this would be a good rig for them.
I spent many an hour as a kid with my dad melting and casting. Thanks for the memories.

I think I have some in a box somewhere,stretchy rubber but probably different make. Mine was red.
@@TAFishing Thats the same stuff Graeme it's great for stop knots
Always interesting.. even if you do make me feel guilty about just sitting around. Keep up the good work Graham...David B Chichester
Great advice Gra, thank you !! Ronnie R !! 🎣🎣💥

You can also use a needle or “rats tail” file to put the location grooves on the grip weight
Good to see the missus about.

Seals in the sea and otters in the river...and that's without all the pollution as well.
I thought you were drilling holes to go ice-fishing in your fountain. I'm very disappointed.
hehe nice one Graeme.
Great for fishing
Get well soon Graeme, hope the fishing barrow rod rest holders were right size.
Thanks,but I don't know when I will get to use them,too cold at present.
Can you tell me the make of the rigs please
I don't actually know who makes them. Try your local tackle shop they might have an idea.
Was trying to buy some hot dogs or similar the other day and thought I'd find some decent ones so started reading the ingredients and all of them except one were made of mechanically removed Chicken so bought the one that was 68% pork and twice the price,

Haha...who knows what was in the remaining 32% ??.....its like a meaty lottery....Donkey brains....Pig lips....Monkey feet ...I guess we'll never know...
I tried kangaroo burgers once but they made me a bit jumpy
Just a quick question could these be used in carp fishing to prevent tangles at range when using supple braids,and great content always graeme.

Is that a homemade log burner? If not what make
All the best fella

Been a while seen we seen the good old tackle shack! Missed it big time
Hold on pause, let me get a coffee first. Cover the sausages with ketchup and sprinkle a good helping of curry powder over it. They are SRT springs.
👍👍👍
👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
those gaps in the doors ? brrrrr ? gl hh
You need to get metal detector for ther jees
how do I get 18 minutes and 27 seconds of my life back?
Change your diet...
Spend far too much time watching TA fishing.
hi , greetings from sunny Queensland Australia , points for trying mate , but ,, this is the most useless nerdiest rig ever , cheers
