That's one thing I like about innovative people like yourself who come up with different things I respect these people alot
Wow !! Thanks brother, really appreciate it. fish on 👍😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch no worries mate
That knot you've invented is quite classy! Although I'm more of a FG man I'll definitely give your knot a shot one of these days. As for those Mad Mouse rods, a friend of mine in KSA uses them popping for geets and they even hold up to that challenge so that makes you a man that fully understands the value of things 😉 I really enjoyed your Norway series. I have the same destination on my list and the work you put in has helped a lot 🙏
Thanks bud, yes the mad mouse and some rods for the money it's crazy, not every thing from China is bad quality, have fun in Norway. Fish on Brother 👍😁
Ooh I love a bargain reel. I got a 8000 spinning reel for 7 quid once. Still going to this day. Great content as always. Thanks Billy. 🤙
Thanks Shaun, nothing like a good deal. It all ways make me smile. Fish on Brother 👍😁
It just shows you don't have to shell out big money for good reliable gear Billy where there's a much cheaper route for the same top quality. Thanks for sharing all your well researched info mate and your knots, much appreciated. Fish on and on. 👍👍
Thanks Graham, great stuff. The info might get some one that fish of a lifetime, that would be fantastic. Fish on Brother 👍😁
Love the BF knot!! Doesn’t fck with the eyes on the rod like other bulky knots.
Thanks for sharing Billy!
Thanks Viking, if you have a go at the bf, will you give me some feed back, good or bad. Fish on Brother 👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch Will be happy to.
Heading out on Sunday and have some new 50lb 4-strand for a leader. Will BF it bruv!
@@Billyfishing_watch Just been playing with new rolls of braid - 100lb, 50lb and 40lb. Yellow-blue-red.
Even with my fat fingers it seems an easy knot to master - even though I almost glued my fingers together twice.. 🤷♂️. I don’t have knot pullers but these knots ain’t going nowhere.
Thanks again Billy!
Really look forwards to your videos and all the hard won info you are kind enough to share. Like the look of the knot will give it a go this weekend. Used your hair rig and circle hook rig on my local beach last week and lip hooked 7 out of 8 whitting and a doggie, not having to retrieve my hook from the depths of the fishes stomach made it enjoyable to catch them and the fish were happy to go back alive….many thanks
Thanks bfish, I think you will like the knot. the hair and circle is fantastic. You are right, it's great to see all the fish go back. Fish on Brother 👍😁
Brilliant. We all are nosey to see what other peoole use and do :-). Thank you Billy. Gonna re tie my leaders now, with the BF knot.
Thanks Paul, hope the knot works out for you. Would like some feed back good or bad. Fish on Brother 👍😁
Hello Billy I’m a bait fisherman, and have never really took to spinning, but you
can even make lure fishing interesting to me, keep those videos coming
Thanks Ronnie, me neither but, catching a 30lbs fish on a lure, is a hard one to resist. Fish on Brother 👍😁👌
Great video Billy entertaining and educational👍,will definitely be practicing that knot and will be introducing it to my repertoire of must use knots👍,, looks brilliant,,fish on brother,👍🎣
Thanks Gary, hope you like the knot, love some feedback good or bad, fish on Brother 👍😁
Thanks for sharing! I don't think I'll ever graduate to the heavy gauge outfits you're using, but the knots and techniques you've worked out are definitely going to go into my treasure chest of useful stuff. I can use your BF knot for a certainty. I think I'll still find a use for my FG after having taken the time and practice to be able to do it in the dark, and here in New Jersey it doesn't compare to the Arctic for serious cold. Fish on, Amigo, and do try to cheer up a bit.
Hi Joseph, glad you like it. The FG is a great knot, but I don't really use it that much. But just as long as I can catch fish, all that matters is catching them fish. Fish on Brother 👍😁
Great video billy and a good insight to your knots thanks👍🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks Matt. Fish on Brother 👍😁👌
Excellent advice on cheap rods and reels the only new stuff I've got was 2 Penn 525 mags and a Grey's mercury beach caster when I started match fishing my other sea rods/reels and trout,carp,coarse,and lure rods/reels are all 2nd hand
Hi David, looks like you got everything you need, and then some. But there all ways room for more, right. Thanks brother fish on 👍😁👌
Love the BF knot. Will try it the next time. I am an FG person but you are right about tying it outside. It is a pain when it is windy or on a boat.
Hi Big country. I was an fg man, but it's just to complicated for shore angling. When I get snagged up 7 times in a night, I spend most of the time tying knots instead of fishing. What part of the world are you in?
@@Billyfishing_watch HeyBilly I am in India. I was up north and did a lot of Mahseer fishing in the hills apart from carp and Snakehead. Now we have moved to Goa and I am getting to fish for snapper, mangrovejacks, GT and more. We do a lot of lure fishing though I personally love surfcasting with big baits for shark, big rays, Indian threadfin salmon and more.
Now, that sounds fantastic! The nearest place to me where I can catch a GT, is Egypt. Maybe some day.
@@Billyfishing_watch If you ever come this side let me know. I can take you to some of the better spots.
Brilliant. Simple and informative. Thanks.
Thanks Vadim, fish on 👍😁👌
Thanks Billy , I will practise that knot , 🤗🐟
Thanks brother, hope you like it, you Skalliwag you. Fish on 👍😁👌
Another great video Billy! Didn't get a notification for this one - nearly missed it, must try harder!
Interesting info about your tackle & why, plus another good tutorial on your BF knot.
Also interesting you saying about the £15 reel - Angling Direct have got Rovex Powerspin reels on offer for £7.50 in 4000 & 8000 sizes - don't know how long stocks will last! The reels are getting some good reviews, and let's face it, the fish don't care what you are using! I would have put a link up, but Mr RUclips will delete the bleddy comment!
Tight lines, stay safe & well, Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
Thanks Trampster, I will give it a look Brother, fish on 👍😁👌
Very nice Billy! I like your knot! Very much like a Bristol knot if you’re familiar with it ( and currently my favorite). Similar in concept to the FG knot but a bit easier to put together.
Have you found a knot yet that you can do in the dark without a light and get close to the same kind of reliability??? That’s always been my problem. Sure you (and I) bring along a head lamp (torch) but when the batteries die, you’re hosed!!! Only thing I’ve found to work in this scenario is to use two surgeons knot loops with the knots doubled on each loop to maintain the integrity of the connection, then I fold over the main line loop upon itself before running the leader loop through it so the leader loop can’t cut through main line loop on the strike or during the fight. You can actually improve on this knot if you know how to do a Cat’s Paw knot in the dark (which I can’t do). Anyway, thanks for the great video!
Hi Tim, I can't fish in the dark so I always bring a spare light with me. But if I had to fish in the dark I would tie the figure of eight. one on top of the main line and one over the leader, that's the knot I would tie. it's the only one I can tie with my eyes closed because you can feel it open, you can tell if it's right. so the figure of eight would be the knot I would try. Fish on 👍😁
Nice set up, Some strong knots there billy,, tried and tested👍🇳🇴
Thanks brother, see you up to there. Fish on 👍😁👌
Great Video. Thanks a lot. Good luck and tight lines
Thanks Sbsax, Fish on 👍😁
I hear that knot everytime you cast, or I hear something like a knot hitting the guides. I wonder if that knot could possible wear out any of the guides or if the knot could become weaker hitting that first guide? I know on my sturgeon rod(s)which is a baitcasting rod, I purposely dont want any knots running through the guides, but that's just my theory and their are millions. I will have to learn that knot, thanks for teaching it.
Hi bud. It's a distance thing! The jigs are anywhere up to 200 grams, and the 35 pound meyland was snap if I cast without the casting leader. Can't tie straight onto mono with the thin line, the knot is too big and will break the guides. And also create wind knots. The knot on the reel is very small, and just to be sure it doesn't fail! I covered in Super glue each time I fish. And changes after every couple of times fishing. It works well for me. If you're using a conventional reel you should have less problems. And if distance isn't an issue, just run 100lb straight through. With a short rubbing leader. Thanks Brother 😁👌
Awesome fishing knot billy thx for info
Any time Brother, fish on 👍😁👌
Top tips Billy. 👍🎣
Thanks brother 👍😁
The madmouse and lure killer stuff off Ali express are all top quality gear
That's right Brother, you are obviously a man who knows good quality. 👍😁👌
billy the drag on your lure killer reels is so sticky. if you made any updrage to your gear I would go for something a big smoother on the drag end of thing. love your stuff mate, favourite fisher
Hi brother. The drag on the lure killer is buttery smooth, you must have watched the video pier pressure. The halibut in that video was too small to break the drag out, so it jumped a bit. Watch halibut Hunt can you see how smooth the drag is on that real. I think that's what you're talking about thanks. brother fishing on.👍😁👌
Top video brother billy , will be using your knot 🤙🤙
Thanks Lee, hope the knot works out for you. Fish on Brother 👍😁
Hey billy, been watching for a while and you are by far the best fishing youtuber, so inovative. I want to ask if i need to have a mono backing when using braided line because im about to switch. Will the braid slip on its own?
Hi, and thank you Brother. It all depends on what type of real you use, some have a rubber insert on the spool to stop the braid from slipping. Peen and daiwa, reels sometimes have it. But if not, you can just wrap the braid around the spool several times, and tie a uni knot on top. If you want to save some money, then put 4 strand braid on the bottom. And 8 strand braid as a top shot. 😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch thanks billy, i cant express how much hassle you and your videos have saved me
@TRWOFFIClAL glad to help out 👌 thanks Brother
Thanks for the tips mate 👍🏻
Any time Trond, fish on Brother 👍😁
Nice vid Bud. Right with you on the cheapy fixed spool front. I've been using 2x 5000 sized reels for the last 15+ years, one is a top of the range Shimano the other cost me £12 . The only difference is the £12 job has better line lay and a slightly slower retrieve which I actually prefer.
Never found a cheap alternative to the epic 525 originals though. Can't win em all.
Hi Rick, you never can tell, how the bargain tackle is going to fish, but now and again, you find a diamond in the rough. Thanks brother fish on 👍😁👌
Cheers for the fix fella...be safe
Any time Brother 👍😁👌
Those are some big rods! I use one similar, an Ugly Stik Tiger rod from Shakespeare and a large FinNor spinning reel with 40 pounds of drag full of 130 pound braid. Only fish I use it for is big catfish here in 🇨🇦, it would work just fine where you fish. Cheers bud, BOOM!
That's some set up brother, nice and heavy. How big do the cats get?
@@Billyfishing_watch I spot I fish is pretty good (lockport, MB). They are channel cats and average 12-15 pounds, my biggest is 32 pounds. Pound for pound they pull like a truck!
Sounds fantastic brother 👍😁
Awesome as always butty!
Thanks Matt, my fishy brother. Fish on 👍😁👌
top vid billy and info
Thanks Dave a few hours ago, fish on 👍😁👌
Hello Billy, thank you for this video!
Can you tell me how well the Lurekiller Twinpower are sealed at the critical points (handle entry, line roller, spool entry, shaft entry etc.)? Do they need a lot of maintenance?
Other than the price, what are main differences with a brand like Penn or Daiwa? This reel looks like a Penn Slammer III.
Hi bud. You cannot compare these rails to a saltiga or slammer, simply because of the price difference. They are not sealed! They don't have too many bearings either, which is a good thing because they're not sealed. Bearings everywhere except the roller. Excellent drag, mind blowing retrieve, and they're not very heavy either. I can fish for 6 - 7 hours with one. They are cheap, so something happens to them like falling the water. You can't just replace them, but they are tough. Thanks Brother 👌
Nice bro.. fish on 💪
You too Az. Fish on Brother 👍😁👌
Oh dear, looks like I am going to have to get a couple of new rods and reels. Don´t think my 30g spinning rod is going to cut it in Norway! 😞
Hi, you can still have fun with a 30g rod, but if you hook a big fish you might loss it. But that fun too. Mad mouse rods are cheap, I get them from AliExpress. Fish on 👍😁👌
Great video Billy.
Do you guys ever use a "Not a Knot". It's really useful in very cold weather with cold hands.
Hi bud, no I never use a not a knot. I try to keep thing simple. knots and knowledge weigh nothing cost nothing. Thanks brother 👍😁
Mantab yes keren ok
Nice Tackle
Thanks brother 👍😁
The BF is a lovely knot but ive had it fail ,but maybe the glue will help
Hi John, all knots fail some times, it failed on me, one or twice in the beginning. But not in a long time now. Thanks brother fish on 👍😁👌
excellent.. 🙂
Thanks brother 👍😁👌
Costly business if your not careful. Nice one Billy....
Your right, the Kid. Thanks brother fish on 👍😁👌
very interesting video would that knot wprk on mono to mono
Hi Owen, no it doest, but here is a link to one that does. Fish on 👍😁👌
ruclips.net/video/mRrHNvhUxiw/видео.html
thanks Billy I will try that knot out
Thats Veals/Daiwa it is a belting rod I have that and several Daiwa spinning rods.
Yes gunner, there fantastic rods. I've had cod to 13lbs on them, light weight and powerful too. Fish on Brother 👍😁
Knots and cold fingers are no fun....used to be a butcher and just thinking about if brings back cold fingers lol
Thanks Christopher, much better to get cold fingers fishing Brother, fish on 👍😁
Have you got links for these reels and rods please
search for mad mouse on AliExpress and lurekiller👍
Thanks mate
Send me a link to the cheapest jig combo you have
Sorry bud, but I get do that. But have a look on AliExpress 😁👌
Would the BF knot be ok for Mono mainline to Mono shock leaders please Billington? I’m on 20lb mono main and 60lb/70/80lb shock
No!! But I have one like it , for mono. Just follow the link 👍

@@Billyfishing_watch you’re an officer and a gentleman sir, thankyou!
No probs 👍
That Yolo £15 looks exactly like my Nomura Hiro Alu 40 I paid £60 for 😅 fuck sake.
Thanks Brother. Sometimes you get lucky 👍😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch Ye man will be going to Norway this summer more to stay with a friend but taking my small lure rod give it a bash
60g rods will do a lot there👍
💪💪🎣🎣👍
Thanks brother 👍😁
😘
So basicly is gear from ali??
Yes!!
@@Billyfishing_watch I'm living on Bergen and thinking about new spinning reel and rod. Can you suggest what to buy ? 3m+ 80g-150g
The mad mouse sniper xt is 50 to 120 I think that is good for most fish up to 50lbs and a very heavy one rated up to 200 g very heavy, mad mouse Kuroshio, fantastic rod👍
Hello. I have one more question. What do you think about Lurekiller Saltist 4000H. I'm going to use it as spinning reel to saltwater. Do you think the size is ok? Or take 5000 size?
Hi Przmek, the fish are 5 or 15 kg get the 5000. It's a nice reel, but for mono more then braid. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Just looked those reels up. Seems like copies of high end stuff except the $$$ you would have to pay. Ever use bait runner reels?
Hi bud, no. Never fished a bait runner, but is that a conventional reel where you are? In the EU and UK that are fixed spools, use for carp angling. 👍
@@Billyfishing_watch We use it for surf fishing. Open face reel with a lever on the back. Lets the fish run with the bain in their mouth crank the handle and boom tight drag to hook the fish. They look like your open face reels just with that knob to release drag. You can set it real light to heavy on both the reel and the bait running part.
Ok, got you now brother 👍😁👌
