Great demo Mark, I’ve used a 3 hook one for many years now,the top 2 are 19&20”. I’ve caught over 2 dozen different species on it,and it doesn’t tangle 😜
Hi Kevin, I think of all the rigs this one has the spread of species covered and depending on how robust it is made ie beefed up or refined and light it can be amazing. I have a particular venue in mind for this rig and fishing a channel on a Sandy surf’ish beach with many species available, it gets me all excited. Over 24 species, and counting. That is amazing. 🎣👍🏻
Sounds like a popular and versatile rig. I haven't made the wishbone one yet, I'm already on catchup. Fishing at the weekend so one of them will get a tryout. Another excellent video, going to manual focus to make sure the parts of the rig are clear to see. 👍 Thanks
Thank you Mark. Another cracking rig tutorial. My rig wallet will be bulging. Got a week off work in Janurary, definitely going to give this a go along with the wishbone rig.
Hi Paul, fish them in comparison side by side. Clock the water and vary the distance. I have an idea which one will out-fish the other but it will be interesting to hear your results.
Great rig video thanks Mark - gonna make a few of these when life gets back to normal & I can litter the lounge with my rig making gear again! Stay safe & well! 👍👍
A good point to be made there and worth mentioning in a future video. I do sometimes make rigs in the kitchen but I never attach or open hooks in the house.
Greetings from Greece! I am using this rig for stripped seabream and gilthead seabream. It's awesome. Though I have reduced the hook size and snood diameter. And as a bottom bait clip, I use the trident roto. Works good. Hook size 4 to 5 and snood, yuki invisible 0,26mm. All the rest are pretty much the same. Best of wishes for the new year!
Hello and welcome to the channel. I can see how your version and modifications would suit bream fishing. I have had the same thoughts. What is your go-to bait for the guiltheads?
@@seaangling well, that is a big issue to talk about. It depends on the season. And that affects the component sizes (primarily hooks and snood). At winter time, I prefer sardine filets, small ones, tied on No3 hooks. Most people use chinus, I better like Aberdeens. Then, local worms are the bait most paople use. At the warm seasons, the No1 bait is peanut worm in various baiting forms. Crab is not suitable for rig. The best rig I use to use is up and over rig and the most beloved by the Greeks, a runner ledger. Overall, the best bait for bream is the one that can be found locally and in particular, at the place you fish.
This has been a cracking series of vids over Xmas and another great rig making one... You must have read my mind as I nearly asked you about the loop rig when you did the wishbone one.... So I now have 2 new methods to build and try 👍
Hi Steve, I thought that the most time people have to sit back, relax and watch some TV is over Christmas. If like me you find there is very little on of any interest that is where the seed of this daily film came from. I like to think there are fishers everywhere with a glass of something nice planning their fishing for 2022. Preparation is nearly as good as participation. 😉
Valiant attempt at demonstrating a quite complicated rig without graphics or diagrams. Thank you. Be handy to understand more from you about why is this rig is useful and what circumstances would you use it eg what problems does it resolve or mitigate. You did hint towards the end about how to vary the rig for rays etc but im probably being thick here i don't understand what the rig is for. But i still found it useful in building rigs to watch your channel.
The rig specific builds are aimed at those that know what rig they would like and show my version of it. I have started a series this year that is fish specific, how to catch them, which bait and what rig. A different perspective and may help those that need information on which rig to choose for which fish and/or conditions.
Great tutorial there. It's a rig I've avoided after the first time in used it, I lost a big fish due to getting snagged. I might give it another go when the sea and wind aren't as crazy, but I think next session, I'll be having a play with your short pulley again.
The short pulley matched with the size hook for species is a very forgiving and easily fished rig. Size 2/0 or 3/0 hooks with a thumb size bait work well. 🎣👍🏻 Happy hunting.
Brilliant vid and I will be making 1 very soon (tomo) with a penal on the bottom hook for rays and popup beeds on top hook to help it float up from the bed
Great video as usual Mark. I’m an experienced freshwater angler, but I’m in the process of kitting myself up as a newbie to beach/estuary fishing, and I’ve been watching all these videos and comments with great interest. When you test these rigs out, it’d be great if your feedback and reports were linked to the original rig making clip (perhaps I’m not looking in the right place🤷🏻♂️). Keep up the good work 👍
Hi Stuart, I do try to link videos with what is presented at the end linked to the relevant film. It’s not always the case though and I should really structure them better. I have considered a full remake as a sequential series compiling everything I’ve learned to date and include all of the aspects captured in the comments. Atm I’m concentrating on fishing and workshop filming. 😉
One of the few rigs I've never bothered making as I didn't like the look of the loop. After watching this I will make one into a cod version and try it out 👍
I think you may have been missing out but easily rectified. I would go small and light on one rod to complement another going big. You can catch big fish on small hooks but it isn’t so easy to catch small fish on big hooks. 😉
@@seaanglingYeah thats right my pb bass was when fishing for dabs with small hooks. Ideally I would make it for plaice but its cod season and I will likely forget about it by April.
Hi mate, I made the loop rig last night and I realised its basically a long distance 1 up and 1 down rig. I never made that connection before for some stupid reason! The 1 up and 1 down rig is one of my favourite rigs for putting a bait in close range. I'm looking forward to using this rig now! Cheers
@@Alexxx---101 absolutely spot on, I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel but help with showing different techniques or rigs most of which are already well known. When people make the change from buying rigs to making their own they become more confident in making changes to suit conditions/location. There is another Rig video being released on Friday that may be of interest as I go into more detail about the decisions I made in making it. 👍🏻
@@seaangling useing the rig for rays I use a pennal set up on the top a d bottom.If I use it on mixed ground even a dongle set up on the bottom works well. Personally I go 80lb rig body and snoods for rays as it pins it down ro the sea bed better,as for dabs or flounders some beads .
Hi Mark just made the loop rig exactly the same way as u did can’t wait to use it soon Thankyou very much I’ll let you know what it fishes like can’t wait to beef it up and put some floating beads and rig tubing on it I’ll be waiting for that video Take care Chris
I was hoping you could help me I’m going to Chesel beach for the first time at the end of march I’ve seen on line it looks like there’s two high and low tides a day also from what I’ve seen on this channel it’s a walk to the best marks where would I go and what rigs bait would you recommend a first timer don’t need to get black to me today but if u could have a think it would be much appreciated thanks mate Chris
@@chrismorris8480 start out from either Abbotsbury and walk past the dragons teeth or Fleet end and walk to the end of the boards. Long pulley rigs with pennel hooks or up and overs. Fish baits, squid, ragworm or lug all work well depending on target. Mix it up to increase your chances.
I’ve been using the trident pulley and a two hook flapper for all my fishing and it’s been working well the up and over I talked to u about how to make it a few months ago. How long would ur loop be on the loop rig thanks for the directions cheers for ur time thanks again Chris
Hi again mate I only just used to use two knots improved clinch for mono but I found the thicker the line the harder it was to tie without stressing the line and for braid the uni clinch knot after seeing u and learning the sandman it’s made my life so much easier so Thankyou would u use the sandman on braid and if not what would u use 80lb braid straight through to a terma link thanks again night night
Great tutorial Mark. Has inspired me to make something other than my usual pulley pennel. Hope you had a great Christmas and a happy new year to you from lincoln, tight lines 👍
The thing is we all have our favourites that we fine tune over time and have confidence in. I bet your pulley pennel rigs are tuned into your local marks/species.
@@seaangling yes you are right, but I would like to be more variable, thornback are my usual quarry and a up n over style rig would make more sense, but find the hooks dig into the sand on retrieve so I tend to use pulley rigs
Great video again learning loads from you. I'm making a jig table what's your go to snood length on a 3 hook clipped down rig? (I know changes with conditions) but wanna start using detachable snoods so easy to change hook size etc. I'm fishing sandy slow slopping beaches. Skegness chapel area.
I’m going to be doing a 3 hook flapper rig with short detachable snoods soon. Whatever your rig body length is you can cut a length of line for your snoods. Cut that into 3 lengths of equal or varying length and once you have connected hooks and clips the snoods will be the right length. 🎣👍🏻
What I'm thinking is if it's say 9inch? snood to snood and clipped I can make a load of different 9inch snoods and they will still clip down. Then I can do 18inch snoods and 27inch snoods too making it a 2 or single hook rig and all hooks would fit the same rig body and clip down. The course match angler in me wants to change the hooks a lot more often in the session.
@@richarddickinson7242 I understand what you are saying and I run rig bodies with packs of snoods so I can bait up whilst soaking and then swap over nice and quick with the rig body attached and just change snoods. The idea for interchangeable length snoods sounds good but adds snagging hazards. Personally I would prefer set body lengths with their associated snoods to make as streamlined and snag free as possible. The beauty of all of this is you can experiment for your way and you could fine tune to your method of fishing.
Hi Mark great tutorial must admit I have not tried this rig might have to give it a go been itching to get out but it has been too windy down our way enough for my boys to go kite surfing anyway but keeping an eye on it tight lines
I’ve been disappointed daily by the weather forecast and of all things the wind has been a show stopper. I have 2 venues I’m keen to try and all the rigs are made, kit prepped and ready to go. 🤷♂️🤨
@@seaangling must admit weather before we packed up was ideal but as soon as we finished for the break it turned , Murphy's law I suppose still fingers crossed I can get out before we go back on the 4th getting withdrawal symptoms just want to go fishing 🤞
The wish bone puts 2 baits very close together and can either promote a bit of competition and a double hook-up or see the same fish with both hooks. 🎣
Thanks for the great explanation , never occurred to me to clip the imp from the back !! duh !!
It helps all when we share tips and methods. I’ve been very fortunate to have a lot of help along the way. 🎣
