Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ruclips.net/user/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
DONT use mustard hooks worst hooks to use thats why there soo cheap and sold at kmart and also usiung mustard hook you could damage the fishes mouth as youll need to strike the fish, soo if your starting off fishing use circle hooks and the fish will hook himself on. striking a fish is not for beginners.
100% it is, no one does a channel as detailed as Fishingmad. There’s no fancy boats in locations that none of us are really going to get too lol it’s just a great channel for just us average fisherman who love to fish in areas we live in. Great job Alan.
Your very welcome, yes that the only sinker that I use. Small pea size sinker on the inside of the swivel so it can run down the the snelled hooks. Sometimes ill even fish with no sinker at all.
Going live with an online store on the fishingmad website hopefully this week. This will have stickers, hoodies, hats, beanies, shirts etc. The sticker on my kayak was specially made up, i can always try and get one made up for you
You should do a fishing gear arsenal video showing all your gear and lures, and great videos, I love watching your videos and seeing what other anglers are doing in Melbourne.
Thanks Joseph, I really appreciate your comment. Im actually going to start doing some product reviews of trending products new to the market across different brands. I had been reluctant to do one on my own gear as most of it is Savage Gear stuff and i didn't want it to come across as a sales type or biased video as thats not what im about. Thanks very much for the suggestion its a really good one.
The snell rig is really designed for full pilchard or silver whiting, if you want to use half pilchards your much better using a paternoster rig i have video tutorials on that on the channel. Hook sizes are better for that and much better casting distance.
yes 100% you can do that if fishing deeper or very tidal waters often in those cases ill use a paternoster rig instead, we have some vids on how to do that on the channel aswell
Thanks Jared, yeah they are really good rigs for local snapper. I Cant wait to get out there and see other fellow anglers out there soon. Lets hope they loosen the rules in a couple of weeks
Once again Alan, you’ve made my day with an amazing video, definitely gonna try these set ups but with smaller hooks because I have never caught a snapper off a pier only pinkies! Also good to learn for the future so when a get a ‘tinny’ and can go out more a fish I can catch bigger fish!
Awesome Thank you for the positive feedback. Of the piers small paternoster rigs like these ones work a treat ruclips.net/video/Ezd_zfOAkIM/видео.html the snapper rigs in this vid will be perfect once you get a tinny. Thanks
Missed this one when it came out mate. Good video again. These are great rigs and once you get the hang of those wraps, it's quite easy to do. But I've got lazy and time poor over the last few years, so now I buy em ready made. I might sit down on a day off one day and make a stack of em.
Must admit over the years I have bought many premade rigs. Being in lockdown has been a good opportunity to start creating my own. And you realize there pretty quick and easy to make.
Alan, this was an excellent video. I'm preparing for my first Florida snapper trip in July and wanted to know how to rig my line. Although I will probably need a bit heavier egg sinker, your design should be perfect. Well organized, easy to follow with step-by-step, this was the exact video I was searching for. THANK You! Tony 2 Hooks
100% yes, it just can be tricky to cast because of the long leader length. From a pier you could also consider a patanoster rig like this ruclips.net/video/r41F_di__e4/видео.html which is what i would use
Hi Toby, Thanks I appreciate the comment. Your in luck I created a video on exactly this topic some time ago. You can see that using this link ruclips.net/video/BMHmAtWHXvI/видео.html enjoy
Thanks Alan . I can't wait to get out on the Yak im about to install the Garmin stricker 4.5 combo. If your ever out Williamstown way about 300-400 of Willi beach you can land some good size snapper
Thanks Tom I appreciate the comment. Yes mate 100% you can catch good snapper only a few hundred meters off williamstown beach. Last year I caught a 5 kilo and 6 kilo snapper near the reef opposite the footy ground and you also get plenty of pinkies.
this is my 1st time to go surf casting for snapper and your video will steer me hopefully to land me my 1st snapper, but if I'm not lucky to catch one I've learnt how to set up and tie the rig correctly. thanks very much for your help
I use glowing lumo beads as an attractant and to protect knots from running sinkers etc., but I'm curious to know how they help stop the rig getting tangled up?
The lumo bead is completely optional. I find it provides a buffer between the sinker and knot to stop the knot from wearing out, and I have had odd occasions where the sinker and hooks have been wrapped up. Ive used the lumo bead in between the knot and sinker now for many years and its become a habit of my setups. Again completely optional if you dont think they add any benefit.
@@fishingmad - As I explained above I use them the same way that you do, but I wasn't aware of any benefits in relation to avoiding tangles. I was curious as to how that worked, that's all. All good.
I use a 3/0 circle hook as the bottom hook and a size 4 circle hook as the top hook. Top hook for live bait and the bottom hook for either a cut pinfish or a frozen sardine. Other than that, I use the exact same rig and love it. Just use a heavier weight for where I fish
Great video Alan, i use the same setup except i tie the bottom hook the same as the top hook i find it quicker, hasn't failed me yet.Feel for you guys down there, can't get out there.Hope things get better soon, cheers from Qld.Just subscribed.
Hi john, Thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel. Good to have you with us. Thats a very good suggestion which certainly would be quicker. I will have a play with next time i venture out. Hopefully will be in a few weeks.
Would this be good on a party boat that rigs much differently here off the Gulf Coast of Texas? The party boats here for snapper use 12oz bank weights at the bottom with a simply loop knot (so additional weight can be used), then from there up about 1.5ft is a swivel, then tied off the swivel bottom is a 2' or so leader to a 6 size circle hook. Main line is tied to the top of the swivel. We are in 200' of water and the current is fairly strong, hence the 12oz and sometimes 24oz of weight. Just want to maintain vertical, minimize tangles with other nearby anglers on the boat and still fell the bite. Suggestions? Thank you.
Alan thanks for sharing the good snapper rigs I used them and caught so many fish like snapper even Australian salmon so thanks man for sharing the rig and god bless and cheers.
That's awesome Ahmed, Thanks for letting me know. Greatly appreciated. Gonna be a great couple of months ahead of us fishing so hopefully you cam catch plenty more with the rig
Thanks Joe, I really appreciate the positive comment. Mee to I cant wait to get out there. Lets hope the state government finally let us out to fish in a couple of weeks. I miss fishing thats for sure. What are you planning to target first ?
No we never use snell rigs when land based fishing, we always use paternoster rigs when land based fishing because you get far superior casting distance.
You can either put a very small ball sinker ( pea size ) just above the hooks inside the swivel, or unweighted . You could also do one above the swivel but thats not our preffered way
All depends. If im on my kayak sometimes only a few hundred meters to a few kilometers. If on the boat I usually fish spots like werribee, willaimstown, cardinal at altona, P2, T10, spoil grounds all which take some time to get to.
Hi Alan, great vids mate, really enjoy watching them. I bought myself a little boat at the end of summer and now chompin at the bit for lock down to finish and get out there. Quick question... would It be fair to say to use the double hook for snapper and the single for pinky's and same size hooks for either rig? Cheers mate :)
Congrats on the boat purchase. Yeah thats a pretty good assumption. When snapper fishing ill often have 2 rods out. 1 with double hooks and one with singles. If im just targeting pinkies then i will only use 1 hook and even drop down to a 4/0 or 3/0 or use soft plastics. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
Awesome vid Alan. I’m struggling to put a pillie or silver whiting on to the hooks. Any chance on a short tutoring how to put a pillie on these two hooks rig??
Thanks John, I appreciate the comment. Your in luck i created a video on exactly this some time ago. You can see that using this link ruclips.net/video/BMHmAtWHXvI/видео.html enjoy
With half a pilchard i like to use a 2nd free running hook to help Hold the bait. (as in not tied to the line just running free on it, also allowed then 2 have 4 hooks on a paternosta rig in stronger currents. 2 hooks tied on 2 hooks running free to hold bait) tho TBH once i started using circle hooks i dont look back. Every fish hooked in side of mouth, dont swallow it, easy to remove and less hard to fish you releasing.
I sure hope so. Im going completely mental aswell. Actaully most of my local mates that i talk to are going crazy aswell. Fingers crossed were back out in a week or so
Thanks Peter, Yeah I agree 100% that a sliding hook rig works really really well. Especially locally. I often fish without any weight. ill try and do a video to cover this soon.
Loving the information in these videos jist caught my first little snapper the other day keen to get back out and try this rig out off the beach. But i do have 1 question why is it that the sinker is above the hooks if its abit rough and ive got to use a bigger sinker will this rig still work. Cheers fella.

Circle hooks only work in slow or still water any current will make them spiral and you won’t catch shit
Is fishingmad the best fishing channel?
Yes
Is this the best comment ever? Yes 100%, thanks for such an awesome comment.
100% it is, no one does a channel as detailed as Fishingmad. There’s no fancy boats in locations that none of us are really going to get too lol it’s just a great channel for just us average fisherman who love to fish in areas we live in. Great job Alan.
Thanks man !!! Its much appreciated !!! And 100% true LOL
I agree fishing mad is one of the best fisherman and best RUclipsr.
Finally! A fishing tutorial I can actually follow, and by a fellow Aussie! Thanks heaps fishingmad!!!
No problems 👍 Your very welcome !!
So many fishing rods??
You just buy because you think the rod isn't lucky
You must show us the lucky fishing rod once you bought tried and tested it?
Different rods for different species of fish. Eg an outfit for bream, different outfit for snapper, salmon. Plus I just love buying fishing gear.
great vid,again, thankyou. one question ,is that small ball sinker all you use ??or do you have lead on the other side of the swivel too ???, cheers
Your very welcome, yes that the only sinker that I use. Small pea size sinker on the inside of the swivel so it can run down the the snelled hooks. Sometimes ill even fish with no sinker at all.
Nice video. Just want to know whether or not 30Lbs line strong enough ?
Yes 30lb is OK but I would prefer to use slightly stronger and buy a decent fluoro with thin diameter
Is a running swivel better for the sinker to slow for changing weights quickly, as I fish in westernport
I usually use this rig for western port as the tide and current changes so frequently ruclips.net/video/JjKA7xJrmfA/видео.html
Hey do you have stickers to put on my pa 14 of fishing mad the logo looks great.
Going live with an online store on the fishingmad website hopefully this week. This will have stickers, hoodies, hats, beanies, shirts etc. The sticker on my kayak was specially made up, i can always try and get one made up for you
Grandpa showed my this when I was about 7yrs old. He's 98 now and blind. So wish I could take him out for one more hook up 🎣

@@fishingmad bro what to use as bait in this setup, for handline fishing
I actually use that same rig here in trinidad.
Could you fish the first rig with 2 half pillies or only set up for a full?
The snell rig is really designed for full pilchard or silver whiting, if you want to use half pilchards your much better using a paternoster rig i have video tutorials on that on the channel. Hook sizes are better for that and much better casting distance.
Do you ever put a running sinker on your main line for deeper water?
yes 100% you can do that if fishing deeper or very tidal waters often in those cases ill use a paternoster rig instead, we have some vids on how to do that on the channel aswell
@@fishingmad awesome, thanks!
Can you describe how to put bait on these made hooks
Hi Zayad, we have heaps of vids on how thats done in the FishingMad members area
Awesome one Alan 👍. Will definitely be using these 2 rigs when we’re back to fishing 🎣.
Thanks Jared, yeah they are really good rigs for local snapper. I Cant wait to get out there and see other fellow anglers out there soon. Lets hope they loosen the rules in a couple of weeks

Must admit over the years I have bought many premade rigs. Being in lockdown has been a good opportunity to start creating my own. And you realize there pretty quick and easy to make.
will a snapper rig work for pinkies aswell
Yes 100, however i strongly suggest watching the video on our channel called the perfect paternoster. Its what we use when targeting pinkies.
Rangkaian pancing yang sangat bermanfaat dan menginspirasi saudaraku 👍
Fishing mad can we use any swivel for this rig.
Yes you can! You really want to check its lb capacity to make sure its strong enough, I usually use 65lb barrel swivels
I cant wait to get out again :(
100% agreed, looks like now it wont be until 26th of October the earliest
Would octopus hooks work?
Yep that can also work well too
🙏🙏👍👍❤️
Great video. I always buy pre made rigs, I never thought of making my own. Thanks FishingMad
Thanks Heath. Im glad you found the video helpful. Hopefully now you can start making some of your own snapper rigs

Thanks Tony, i really appreciate the kind feedback. These rigs work brilliantly on snapper, good luck out there !!
Hi Allen what main line should I use and will 15 lb work
Also will 50 lb test braid work cause my dads taking me fishing so we would like to know thanks
For bait fishing for snapper I usually use either 20lb or 30lb braid. Im sure 15lb will be OK just dont set the drag to tight.
this rig can use for pier
100% yes, it just can be tricky to cast because of the long leader length. From a pier you could also consider a patanoster rig like this ruclips.net/video/r41F_di__e4/видео.html which is what i would use
Superb this great

Might be a silly question but is that little sinker all you need or do you need to attach a heavier running sinker aswell? I'm new to all of this

Thanks Tom I appreciate the comment. Yes mate 100% you can catch good snapper only a few hundred meters off williamstown beach. Last year I caught a 5 kilo and 6 kilo snapper near the reef opposite the footy ground and you also get plenty of pinkies.
So while fishing with this rig you leave it laying completely on the bottom of the sea bed or keep it suspended ?
just use a very light sinker or no sinker and you will find the bait will stay in the strike zone. Not stuck in the bottom.
this is my 1st time to go surf casting for snapper and your video will steer me hopefully to land me my 1st snapper, but if I'm not lucky to catch one I've learnt how to set up and tie the rig correctly. thanks very much for your help
Good luck!
Great vid, but if that tag end slips out from between your teeth your top lip is going to be bait.
Do you know if this rig will work for surf perch?
100% it will just drop the hook size to something smaller if your catching smaller size ones
@@fishingmad thanks so much!! Can I also add another bead to the second hook?
100% it can work as an attractant
I use glowing lumo beads as an attractant and to protect knots from running sinkers etc., but I'm curious to know how they help stop the rig getting tangled up?
The lumo bead is completely optional.

Have a look at this article I wrote on that topic fishingmad.com.au/article/how-to-catch-snapper cheers
Could this rig be used for Westernport gummys as well?
100% also very good for WP, just make the running sinker a little bigger as the tidal flow is a lot stronger

Man those are some really small sinkers for port Phillip Bay. That's not for land based fishing?
No we never use snell rigs when land based fishing, we always use paternoster rigs when land based fishing because you get far superior casting distance.

Hi Alan, great vids mate, really enjoy watching them. I bought myself a little boat at the end of summer and now chompin at the bit for lock down to finish and get out there.

Congrats on the boat purchase. Yeah thats a pretty good assumption. When snapper fishing ill often have 2 rods out. 1 with double hooks and one with singles. If im just targeting pinkies then i will only use 1 hook and even drop down to a 4/0 or 3/0 or use soft plastics. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

With half a pilchard i like to use a 2nd free running hook to help Hold the bait.
(as in not tied to the line just running free on it, also allowed then 2 have 4 hooks on a paternosta rig in stronger currents.
2 hooks tied on 2 hooks running free to hold bait)
tho TBH once i started using circle hooks i dont look back.
Every fish hooked in side of mouth, dont swallow it, easy to remove and less hard to fish you releasing.
if you use a sliding hook rig ,,say ,,,you fish with no sinker like for princess pier
yep 100% agree. Princess Pier would be the perfect spot for a setup like that
