Tom I’ve been like an expecting father waiting for this and it didn’t disappoint…well done mate very clear and easy to follow ! Also I’ve been making hard work of my stop knots and your way is a lot easier …total legend 👏👏
Ha ha! I very nearly mentioned you in the video... your timely reminders (I'm loathe to use the word 'nagging'!) were very much appreciated, without them I'm sure you'd still be waiting! Glad it helped anyway, good luck with those stop knots!
Absolutely mate, it's a brilliant rig from a brilliant man. I admired him greatly when I was a youngster and loved fishing and chatting with him as I got older. He deeply missed, but his name will live on forever I'm sure. Yes, deffo a stopknot rig!
I would like to see some more close-up views. Thanks. We dont have all those fittings but I'm sure if we can see what they look like, we can substitute something to make it work.
No1 ,your rig making is so brilliantly demonstrated. No2 ,you have got me out of so much trouble with my daughter by saying put a pin into the door frame to make rigs easier to put together because she always used to go mad at me for doing that , unfortunately she is now on her way to your shop in Christchurch for saying this in your video, don't worry I've had years of this , you will only have to deal with this once lol , goodluck , but like I said to her Tom is married so it will be water off a ducks back 😂. So sorry its took 8 months to reply to this rig but as you know I'm now catching up on the videos , ps you'll know who my daughter is when she walks in she s just got that look about her lol lol , it will be on a wedsneday hope it's your day off nudge nudge lol 🎣👍
Oh blimey! I'm going to run for cover... 🤣🤣🤣 I'm actually fishing tomorrow, so will miss her. Tell her to speak to Toby if she needs any help with rig bits, he'll be able to help. Thanks for the kind comments as always mate, they are genuinely gratefully received.
@christchurchanglingcentre5428 🤣🤣🤣🤣R.I.P. Toby ....... Have a great day tomorrow fishing Tom , and please let me know when Toby has recovered ill come down lol . Fingers crossed see you in sept/Oct.... Truly the best channel on RUclips, stay safe to you and your family 🎣👍
Many thanks Tom for making this video, probably the best one I’ve seen for this particular rig. When I tie this rig I also use a 3” length of silicon tubing to go over the top snood swivel eye to help lift the snood away from the rig body and avoid tangles. Have you used this adaption too?
Thanks Bill. I have dabbled with silicone like this in the past, but to be honest, I prefer to keep things as minimalistic as possible. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching 😀
Again, thinking outside the box. I always saw the loop rig as a Matchman's tool for gaining some extra yardage, but now I can fish my usual Pennell for rays and have an extra hook up top - Genius. An idea if I may. The cascade swivel, has nobody yet fashioned one with conventional loops top and bottom, as opposed to having one elongated loop? This would aid the Bagnall bar also wouldn't it? Just a thought.
You could, although how far do you need to cast? I wonder if a simple flapper might do the job just as well, and easier to tie? But if distance helps, then yes, give this a go.
Hi Tom, could you please come up with a rig to combat crabs, they’re my nemesis. I know velvets will get your bait but I’m racking my brain trying to figure out a rig to beat that. I’m fishing for Gilthead Bream and Smoothounds and bass. I reckon it’s normal crabs and spiders crabs. Cheers Dan
That's a very good question! I find the vast majority of my fish are hooked on the circle still, despite the j hook being there. Fish that are caught on the j have tended not to take the bait deep, so have been lip hooked too. Of course, as with all fishing, the occasional deep hooked fish will occur, but it really is only very occasional. The better way to fish this would actually be to use a dongle below the circle, rather than the j. Perhaps I should do a video showing that too. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Hi mate. Yes, definitely! On this rig I'm using a bit stop on the top snood, but not on the bottom snood as I'm using the pennel setup. However, I'd you're not using the pennel, then definitely use a bait stop on the bottom snood too.
hi tom, newbie here. firstly great tutorials. really easy to follow with simple explanations.. 1 question. instead of using 2 stop knots can I just use 1 but put 8 turns on it instead of 4? ... or am i just being lazy?! thanks in advance!
Hi mate. Thanks for watching. II honestly don't know the answer to that, because I've never tried a stop knot with that many turns. I'll have to experiment! My gut feeling is that the two stops will be better, I feel they kind of lock against each other. I wonder if an 8 turn knot would end being a bit of a bulky knot?
No real reason matey. I usually have it the other way around on my lighter beach setups, as the longer, lighter snoods easily catch in the clip when it's on the end of your leader, so you are doing the correct thing. However, with heavier snoods like this, it's less relevant, and as the majority of people do it this way around I thought I'd do the demo this way around. In all honestly it's going to make no real difference which way around you do it, so by all means stick with what you're used to. I hope that makes sense.
Hi Tom .... thanks for all yer tips and great videos .... i watch every one with sadness and joy .... if you have time could you give me a shout out as my gf doesn't believe i know you and am a friend, which i hope i still am .... cheers for everything Baz Rose x

I love this rig, Ian was a bit of a hero of mine.
This is one of those rigs where power gum beats crimps every time 😂

Yes, deffo a stopknot rig!
Brilliant Video and nicely and clearly explained, keep them coming.
Thank you mate, appreciate the positive feedback.
Brilliant tutorial Tom,extremely well put together and explained 👍🎣🐟
Thank you mate.
Another excellent tutorial, Tom. Many thanks
Thanks mate
Great video. Definitely covered my query on snood lengths with it as well. Plus a nice surprise for a Saturday morning!
Glad you liked it mate. Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
Nice clear video on the rig Tom must come and visit your store to stock up on terminal bits and pieces cheers ray
Thanks Ray. Glad you liked the video. Be good to see you in the shop.
I would like to see some more close-up views. Thanks. We dont have all those fittings but I'm sure if we can see what they look like, we can substitute something to make it work.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll bear that in mind for future videos.
Great tutorial Tom mate definitely gonna make some for this weekend cheers mate 🎣
Thanks mate. Best of luck when you're out at the weekend.

Fingers crossed see you in sept/Oct....
Truly the best channel on RUclips, stay safe to you and your family 🎣👍
I'll warn Toby! 🤣
Thanks mate. Hopefully I'll get to film tomorrow, so if all goes well you'll see how I get on.
@christchurchanglingcentre5428 I'd keep it quite Tom make it a nice surprise for Toby lol .
Can't wait to watch it , enjoy your day off fishing 🎣👍

Just a thought.
Yes! It would! I shall look into this! I'm sure enough people use the loop rig and bar rig for there to be a market for it.
Brilliant rig Tom, could you use it in an estuary crammed with crabs by popping them up with pop up floats
You could, although how far do you need to cast? I wonder if a simple flapper might do the job just as well, and easier to tie? But if distance helps, then yes, give this a go.
Thanks Tom.
No probs. Thanks for watching.
thank you for this rig i'll give this ago, cheers
You're welcome, thanks for watching 😊

If I could do that, I'd be a millionaire mate 🤣
Nice vid .
What is the thinking behind using a circle hook on the pennel which helps to stop deep hooking, to then add a J hook?
That's a very good question! I find the vast majority of my fish are hooked on the circle still, despite the j hook being there. Fish that are caught on the j have tended not to take the bait deep, so have been lip hooked too. Of course, as with all fishing, the occasional deep hooked fish will occur, but it really is only very occasional.

Cheers mate 🎣
I love all your vids tom! But do u recommend a Sequin and stock knot above your ;Bait on this rig if your using singel hooks
Hi mate. Yes, definitely! On this rig I'm using a bit stop on the top snood, but not on the bottom snood as I'm using the pennel setup. However, I'd you're not using the pennel, then definitely use a bait stop on the bottom snood too.

Sorry Tom quick question any reason you used a swivel on the top of the rig body v normal clip I tend to have a swivel on my shock leader
No real reason matey. I usually have it the other way around on my lighter beach setups, as the longer, lighter snoods easily catch in the clip when it's on the end of your leader, so you are doing the correct thing.

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 ok thanks mate I’ll leave you alone now have a great weekend
You too bud
Sooopah vid Mr B.... Mand wants to know where the wig and pink jumper have gone?
Wig??? Is she insinuating I am follically challenged?
@christchurchanglingcentre5428 not at all (well, a bit) but she also asked about the leather skirt but I thought that was dodgy 🤣
@nevandrews3477 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now I understand. I don't think anyone needs to see that again!
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 I've saved it for posterity (aka blackmail 🤣)
Great demo Tom, we all love you. Not in a Gay way though, sorry about this
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you mate (I think)
Hi Tom .... thanks for all yer tips and great videos .... i watch every one with sadness and joy .... if you have time could you give me a shout out as my gf doesn't believe i know you and am a friend, which i hope i still am .... cheers for everything Baz Rose x
I'm sorry, who are you? 🤣🤣🤣
Only kidding mate, nice to hear from you, I hope you're keeping well and still fishing.
