Hello Mike. I found just one spinning reel Quick 3 9000 MC, in my country i was unable to find two more so i bought two Quick 3 SLS 8000. Can I use it for wels??? Now i am strugling with fact that i make a mistake that i bought this two. Can you tell me few good words for this reels to help me to sleep well🤣
I like ur style spike mike,got my biggest pike on a single circular hook. Barbless as well. 29 and a half pounds,on a sardine. It's definitely kinder on the fish.
Nice session, mate! Cheers! BTW like deadbaiting with circle hooks, less hassle more survival chance for the pike!🍺🍺🍺 Greetings to you and your lady! Tight lines, mate!!!
I am searching today after a deep hooked pike with a treble yesterday was almost impossible to remove the hook took far to long and the pike was in and out of the water 3 times over about 30mins the fish survived and by being careful I managed to clip the bends off the hooks and remove it all but if I was inexperienced and not a lifelong angler I am sure in this situation the hooks would have been left a passer by actually said to me clip the trace low and put it back I told him that would certainly kill the fish slowly I avoid dead bait fishing because of deep hooked fish and usually lure fish for them not only was this an ordeal for the fish my 11 year old son was distressed by the whole situation I’ll give deadbaiting one more go with this rig I think I’d rather not fish for them than deep hook another one keep the trebles for lures where in 35 years of fishing I’ve only ever had one deep hooked
I've not gut hooked a pike in years! Soon as I get a pick up I hit the fish. 9 out of 10 are hooked in the outside of the scissors, I get the odd one inside the top jaw, which I usually remove with fingers. I've not lost a fish In a couple of years, even using barbless circle hooks.
Spot on. I keep trying to promote single hooks too. I just wish more would experiment on one of their other rods if they're not sure. The proof is out there that trebles are not necessary. Nice video. Tight lines.
thanks for that. as you say, i wish people would experiment... single hooks aren't sexy looking like all these massive flashy lures huh! thanks for commenting.
I only recently started fishing for pike, mainly in lures though and caught a few but I’ve already planned to try dead baiting. Anyway I’ve got plenty of experience as saltwater angler and to be honest the very first time I started looking at dead baiting for likes, and rigs in particular, I couldn’t believe that people still use trebles instead of circle hooks, especially knowing that 99% of the times you release the pike. Additionally circle hooks (but that’s true for all single hooks really) have a lot less chances of losing the fish once the hook is set even if you lock the drags and pull, and that’s also why in SW people always use single hooks (fish are stronger and put up much bigger fights, so a proper hook set is important in a prolonged fight) and on top of that many times the fish is kept and cooked (so it’s killed anyway). So my rigs for dead baiting will definitely have a single circle hook!
It's barbaric isn't it... trebles. Pretty soon there will be no pike. A couple of the syndicate lakes have already banned trebles. Anyway, thanks for clicking on the video and commenting. Mike
Let's hear it for the mighty women fisher's Great pike fishing Do you lift into or strike with the those circle hooks You just clarify at the end that u or clare or whoever should wind into rather than strike...cool!
again a very nice video - also with some new information. Sadly our lakes are frozen - just when I wanted to try your rig again after my first caught on the first day of the year. I think I will have no more chance for fishing before pikes are under protection (from 1st of February until 15th of April) because of this wheater 😞
@@spikeymikeyangling6218 It is always the same - I want to go fishing and weather is :-( River is too high, Snow/Ice, Fish are under protection, .... How is the weather in UK? fishable?
I have been using circle hooks ago recently and I must say I’m impressed, one thing u need to overcome when using them Is to give the pike enough time to have the pike 100% in its mouth when using bigger baits
You want loom bands Mustard classic in line/ non offset hooks. Crush the barb to make them barbless... once the point goes in it won't come out!. All bits off amazon.
@@spikeymikeyangling6218 Mustad 39951 pattern or Eagle Claw L702G pattern, both available from sellers on e-bay. Crushing the barbs gives no problems with bait loss with either brand.
Excellent video and well done Claire top predator angling.These are now my go to predator rigs for Pike Zander and Hybrid Eel stick rig with smaller barbless circles.It takes a while to not strike but wind down lol.Hope you both are well and have many more angling adventures and share them.All the best.Tony
Superb method mafriend, 👌 im away to get the tackle box 📦 💪 😮 😅 , respect and thanks, simple is always best 👌 my grandfathers famous words, tight lines aways
Hello my friend, great video and beautiful fish 🐟. Well done , av just come across your channel and im subed up, i love tht rig method , 🎉 i will 100 percent giv tht a try on my local , respect from glasgow, tight lines always 🎣 🐠 😀
Funnily enough i just made some single hook rigs up but using catfish hooks. I really like the loom band rig (have seen this done like this before), so just ordered a pack of red loom bands. Tight lines.
Hook up ratio? I don't like to tempt fate but mine is very good. 95%. I don't know why people struggle so much. Don't strike and keep it all taught when you do Hook up. The more practice the more your rate improves. Good luck!
@@spikeymikeyangling6218 I’ve herd in others videos it’s down to using too much lead weights. Using a float or a smallest weight possible so your in direct contact to the hook and you don’t have a pendulum motion when tightening down on the Line. I used a 4oz lead on a big lake at range and lost 4-5 runs 1 day in the space of a couple of hours.
@karlmclean2023 Usually fish smaller venues so no need for heavy leads etc. This rig is great for distances upto 40 /50 metres, Catch most of my fish close range.
@@karlmclean2023 I fish a lot of small venues for Pike and Zander with float/ledger rigs using floats ( by Balzer, Germany ) that balance with 2 grm of lead. Makes for a very sensitive set-up. Using 2/0 Eagle Claw L702G circle hooks my hook-up rate is as close to 100% as makes no difference. I crush the barbs on my hooks and find the in-turned point of a circle is more than adequate to retain a 3-4 inch Roach deadbait.
interesting and very cheap to make...and well done you Sir for Championing single hook pike rigs, and how to set the hookwish more like minded people would spread the word...many thanks
Thanks for that nice comment, it's good that someone out there appreciates it. Pike are getting harder to find and instead of treating them gently I still see huge trebles everywhere out there. It baffles me.... people would look after them it they were Carp.
