Watched this, thought I’d give it a go. Set up my pole and feeder rod with this dink dink, although after a slip and broken pole section, went all out on the feeder rod and bloody hell! Over 20Lb of roach and dace in a few hours. Great video, well explained and the rig, which was completely new to me, produced an amazing result! Nice one.
I was just about to start typing 2 inch hooklength for those missed bites, but you did it anyway. Good tutorial Rikki, had a 20 year break from fishing. It's a method I've used quite often, also works well in deep stillwaters
Tried last week on big river in Poland. Great old method, underrated. Lots of fish, moreover- great fun:) I've used 0,21 rig line, next time I'll use 0,23.
In some cases this rig its better if you fish just front of you ,not like u did downstream. In case you fish downstream its not bad to leave small bow on the line.As well in most of situation its better slightly shorter hooklength. About 2" max.This rig have no need for strike at all. Fish most of the time take the bait straight away and run with a feeder .Its great method for catching barbel and chub as well. Perfect rig for using liquidised bread and open feeder with a bread crust on a hook.I had lots of success catching barbel,chub,bream and common nase with this method. Rig can be used on a still water to,and can be made to as pop up. Especially is good on still water for crucian carp Any way nice video mate and demonstration.
Great session Rikki. The first time I've seen the sink dink explained well. The spinning dace problem seems to be only problem with the method. Thinking about it the method looks a bit like the speci hunters helicopter rig. They incorporate a swivel trapped between two float stops to which they attach the short stiff hook length. I wonder if that could be adapted so the hook length could rotate. Might solve the dace problem. I might have a go with the two set ups see which works better. As always great to see local anglers on local venues. Regards Russell Jones
Russell Jones thanks mate. Glad you liked the video. Spinning face is just a problem we have to live with and I think you just have to be aggressive and wind them in without trying to play them.
C&R Fishing masterclass I kinda get that but in some cases the feeder is in literally seconds. My feeders wouldn’t empty this quick ... are the holes opened up ?

Well demonstrated Rikki. A very underused method. A great method when you're pegs solid.
Tom Rendell thanks mate, absolutely deadly in the right situation.

I love catching Dace reminds me when i was a kid on the river Lea around London there's even a road named after them in stratford.
Enjoyed this

Looks like a good method to apply on the Thames at the moment. Cheers
Use that a lot on the big Lochs up north, but with two hooks. Great on the right day.
How far north, Lancs at a guess. Can't use 2 hooks in Yorkshire
@@dt1607 where I used to fish Lancs is down south :-)
Thanx for video. peace!
thank you for watching it
well rikki ,guess who's fishing the “dink dink“ this weekend?!awesome method !great video again m8
Timo Lorenzen thanks mate. Glad you liked it and I hope you catch a load on it this weekend.
Can you do a vid on how to cast as it’s interesting watching your method but would be good to get some advice
the longer the feeder link (yours is 6 inches!), the poorer the self-hooking properties. The same logic as with paternoster rig. Am I wrong?
Nice video!!
cant you tie the hooklength to an american snap so you can change it quickly in a match?
Great video mate bit surprised your not using Reflo for your hooklength. ; )
didnt have any with me that was thick enough mate or i would of
thanks mate
Do you not worry about the feeder banging against the fish?
John Papadopoulos no mate
Bob Robert, wrote a very good read, The complete book of legering. Were he covers the dink dink in great detail👍🏻
Sweet as, Rudeboy!
Tom Winter Fishing cheers rudeboy lol
...... one thing I don’t understand.... how does the feeder empty so quickly? Thanks in advance
the flow off the river plus gravity pulls the bait out of the holes on the feeder mat. thanks
C&R Fishing masterclass I kinda get that but in some cases the feeder is in literally seconds. My feeders wouldn’t empty this quick ... are the holes opened up ?
@@69cookieboy1 no just standard black cap feeders
Ok. Out of interest what weight is the feeder you are using ? (I don’t recall from the vid but that may just be me !)
Who has the rights on the stretch you fished bud ?
free stretch mate
Cheers bud
He’s fishing straight through. If a fish breaks him off it’ll be attached to the feeder. It’s not on it’s an amateurs rig.
