Great video. I typed in helicopter rig and came up with loads of videos but yours is the best. Explains the 3 rigs in 1 video in great detail. Nothing fancy or over talking above venues etc etc. Brilliant video!
Thank you Lee for the brilliant power gum rig version. I tried it in these hard winter days by 5°C, fishing 0,12mm hooklengths and size 18 hooks and just one maggot, it's the best rig I' ve fished on the feeder rod for bream and F1s
Lee, you’ve got me back into fishing (and Preston equipment), after a 10 year break I’m back and rearing to go. Can you do some more distance feeder fishing, it’s an area that I want to learn most. Great video as always.
I'd echo all other comments. Lee, you are great at explaining things. I have a couple of questions...1 - how to swap hooklengths on the powergum? I can imagine it's quite hard to get it off (though haven't tried yet). 2 - More an observation, the helicopter rig isn't 'fish-safe' but I guess in a silvers venue it's less of an issue. All comments welcome.
In latest news....turns out my question 1 is no issue, the old hooklength comes off easily (I thought it might have dug into the powergum a bit but what do I know? ;-))
Hi Lee excellent video as usual. Quick question, is the helicopter rig fish safe as our club insists on rigs where the fish can not be tethered if the line snaps.
Maybe it is because I’m getting on a bit but this excellent video would have been even better if Lee wore a light coloured top rather than dark - it would let the knot tying etc stand out more. Overall the content is well presented by an exceptional young angler.
Just a quick question and also apologies as it it isn’t rig related. Can you get tips for the supera 10ft at a lower ounce-age than 1oz? Thanks in advance
Lighting is poor so it is difficult to see all the knots and tie offs. Also zooming in to the final knot or tie off would be helpful. Otherwise a helpful video.

As always, a perfectly explained and articulated demonstration by Mr.Kerry...Angling genius
Best feeder rig tying video I have seen. Thanks!
Lee is a very good communicator who always gives good information in an entertaining and interesting way
absolute excellent instruction thank you

My go to rig for all time for natural waters is the twisted boom with quick change swivel attachment...rarely tangles 👍
Brilliant, simple and easy to follow/understand.
Cheers Lee. 👏👍🎣
Question regarding power gum being more prone to tangles, why not use a short twisted boom to kick away from the feeder and attach power gum to that?

Brilliantly demonstrated Lee. Wondered how mainline and hooklength was connected to feeder gum. Thank's for sharing.
An absolutely fantastic video from Lee Kerry, this has cleared up so many questions I had on feeder rigs, thanks for that Lee.
Very nice, well explained and some cracking simple knots !
Glad you liked it!
What a brilliant & very very useful video, Loved the content, will be using the twizzled boom this weekend.
Absolutely brilliant Lee great explanation
Class Mr Kerry and simplified brilliantly thank you
great tips i like watch all of your films
Another great vid - thanks - just like to know which feeder gum /power gum you use?
Howdy Lee,question.....why have Preston stopped producing those 4 compartment blue bits boxes?,I miss them...
Amazing explanation mr. Kerry! Thank you!
Brilliant video and feeder rig information, love the helicopter rig
Well explained but couldn't see any of that buddy, cheers tho nice boom section which I'll deffo use 🇬🇧✊🏼
Which rig would be best on a canal ? Small fish
Bloody good video! Gonna get meself some of that kit. Thanks a lot!
Hello Lee,
I like your Videos.
Its looks perfect,
but this rigs is only for lake ore a River also?
Greating from Germany
With a stot above and below the swivel could a fish be tethered if the main line breaks or have i got it wrong?
Awsome Lee , really useful .
Well explained thank you.
When will the hex mesh rocket feeders be available please.
Cheers John
Hi Lee excellent video as usual. Quick question, is the helicopter rig fish safe as our club insists on rigs where the fish can not be tethered if the line snaps.
It is safe as the fish can easily pull the stotz off the line, but the free-running rig may be a safer option for your club rules.
which rig in your opinion would be best with a 20foot deep venue
could you twisle the powergum or would that stop the stretch?
Thanks for video!
Will any feeder work? Size/shape??
Maybe it is because I’m getting on a bit but this excellent video would have been even better if Lee wore a light coloured top rather than dark - it would let the knot tying etc stand out more. Overall the content is well presented by an exceptional young angler.
This is really great and actually a bit different from "russian" style feeder fishing. Id say this is better.
With the helicopter rig how do you stop the hook length on the quick-change swivel from sliding down to the link swivel when you're playing a fish ?
the linestops prevent that
Great video
Just a quick question and also apologies as it it isn’t rig related. Can you get tips for the supera 10ft at a lower ounce-age than 1oz? Thanks in advance
Yes you can, down to 0.5oz. Hope this helps :)
Do you need a weight-forward style of feeder for a helicopter rig or will a regular side weight ed feeder still work?
Weight forward styles are much less tangle prone :)
@@UKprestoninnovations Thanks for the help and could I also ask what length hooklength i should generally use?
You can easy make a figure of eight knot just make the loop and twist 1 time and pull the tag end through then its a figure of eight knot.
Been using my own version of a heli feeder and I’ve beat my pb crucian carp and Rudd/Roach
Awesome :)
I love it!👍
good helpful video
What size hook length for the helicopter?
Between 50cm and 1m is preferred.
Not seeing properlyagainst black background??

... 👌🔥
just use pill bottles just drill holes in them
Thanks Ken. I'll melt them with a soldering iron.
Very difficult to see
Nope can’t see a thing 😮
