I struggle to get the loops around the shank when using size 16 for example, so I am very impressed by the ease with which you did it! I think that I will have to resort to buying ready tied!😆
Hi Christian I am new to method feeder fishing and have some standard 6mm to feed as a loose offering do they have to be flavoured ?? And do u have to prepare them ?? There's no instructions on the bag they were the tackle shops brand
Same just put down the method for bomb 😂 want to try as many ways as i can,as to your question I've found blending up two packets of plain digestive biscuits and adding either a bag of some red tackle shop groundbait mix or failing that just adding a load of chilli powder for flavour and colour works great,on fishing day mix your pellets with water as per, when you empty the 💦 from said pellets add it to your biscuit combo and then just mix in with pellets,i think ut works wonders and is cheap as a pack of chips in 1984
I have been experimenting with home-made rigs since watching your video almost 2 weeks ago. I used exactly the same line, hooks, bands and other equipment as you. I'm using a float rod with a 6lb main line for carp averaging 5-8lb and the rigs keep snapping sometimes whilst playing the fish but mostly when a fish initially bolts with the bait. Maybe, these strength rigs are better for pole fishing where the elastic will absorb this kind of energy? I do like the hair-rig concept and experimenting with a wider selection of baits but think I would be better using stronger rig line. However, I don't know what maximum diameter line will thread through the eye of the Guru size 16 hooks you used?
I know this was ages ago, but... I was having the same problem, I've realised that I had overtightened my knots. Now, I'm conscious of this. It hasn't happened since. I'm sure you're all sorted by now anyway.
@@ryandoherty6174 Hi again, yes, all good now but often think of this video when sitting down to tie a load of new rigs ... it's one of those demo's that is worth it's weight in gold ... thanks once again ...
Hello Kristian, thanks for taking the time to prepare this great video and for showing us how you make your hook lengths. Camera work and clear audio makes it nice and easy to follow along. I have now purchased all the bits you're using and will be making my own hook lengths from now on...
Just watched this man fishing at Holbar lake on a festival at partridge. Absolutely amazing to watch, definitely the most dedicated and focused match angler in the country!
Great advice - thank you! I like Tri-Cast gear and they have produced some seriously under-rated rods and poles over the years but their spares service is horrendous compared to Daiwa. Agree with RichT about the Preston DWA tips too.
Just started fishing at Partridge. This vid is a wealth of information presented in probably the best way i've seen. No slow-mo or jazzy music , just pure down to earth facts and tips. Can't praise this highly enough and can't wait to try these methods.
Sorry mate standard rule should be at least 6-8 inches from dacron to float and at least 6-8 inches from float to hook. This is just unacceptable in matches imo and should not be allowed by any fishery. Cant fish under the trees or in the far bank hole? TOUGH SHIT. Standardised format nationwide on every match IMO. Just my opinion but great footage and video. Too much advantage to anglers with top lvl poles that have stiffness at longer ranges.
I wouldn’t call that stiff at 16m it looks horrendous and hard work the Tricast looked stiff better balanced and truth be known probably a lot stronger. You have gone backwards imo I’d have kept the Tricast and bought the Perseption top kits if you Carnt afford the Excellence 980 kits.
Congratulations young man on your win at the festival.You probably caught a greater weight of fish in a week than I catch all season fishing my local opens. Our venues Ie Willow Park are not as productive but being a very average match angler i prefer barbel fishing on the Thames what a tremendous run of big weights. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming blogs.Again well done from a grumpy old git.
