Fishing Tackle Talk: River Pole Rigs 

What an excellent collection and your massive attention to detail. You have such a great collection but every one has its purpose. Great episode Jon.

There's 3 Matrix consultants that really do a great job on YT. We (normal) anglers need to appreciate more the hard work that you, Jamie Harrison, and a certain Mr. Hughes put into providing top quality videos for the brand (on the Matrix channel or your own). I know there are other anglers backed by the brand, but the 3 of you stand out more. OK, some of the stuff you talk about isn't always Matrix, but you all come across well, and talk in an engaging way with us. Do Matrix know their consultants do this? Should I suggest to them that you all deserve a pay rise / better deal?

The attention to detail is amazing...👏👏

Please jon do that film on your take on flat float fishing i love fishing the flat float on our rivers bure and thurne and yare and there's very little good information on this method unless we speak Italian or polish. Thanks jon your shows are brilliant good useful info put over clear and precise

Yet again John another excellent video which I found very informative.I fish the Warwickshire Avon every week struggling at the moment with clear and low conditions but i keep going anyway many thanks Little Rich

Thank you. Massively interesting, you have put a lot of thought into all the rigs and it’s super informative. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent found the information really useful thanks, interesting on spate as I fish Arley and struggle to find the right pattern for holding back ,those colmics stream,or flats look the tool 👍

Great video jon! 👍

Really informative. Made me think more about my river rigs. Keep them coming. Thanks

Loved this, Jon.

Thank you again Jon

Enjoyed that Jon keep these sort of videos coming mate Iain Littleport AC

Yes please on the flat float video Jon. Something I need to learn for the Thames.

Thanks Jon, very useful tips !!!!!

Very informative again,Jon. Great stuff.

I'm Excited to see your floats.

Very informative upload Jon...cheers.

Eyop brill vids!! Dont know if you've or heard anyone using jigga rigs for perch had alot of success on my local river don.no matter wot conditions like flow perch nail it and can explore the swim snags wi out need t change float depth.just throwing out there

I would definitely like to see an upload about fishing the flat float, just bought a selection of torpedo's which I am hopefully going to get to grips with on the Severn this year.

Thanks John very informative as always 👍

I'm amazed at the level of detail + the amount of time taken in your prep. I salute you! Do you retie them annually?

Great video John massive help im a feeder angler

Love your video's Jon. Just recently discovered your channel so going through a binge watch at the moment. I had a friend who worked for Ultimate fishing tackle years ago so I gave him a call regarding the Ultimate Black floats and he says the Drennan SF2 floats are based on the same design.

Hi John great video, I was wondering what length hook lengths do you use on your river rigs? Cheers Jason

Cracking vid 👍

Hi Jon I use similar floats but heavier like 5g.. 6g... 8g... 10g would be my heaviest 99% of my floats are carbon stem personally I think are stronger and they don't intend to bend and break like steel stem... But I've one Question Jon I'm going to purchase silicone /plastic tubing to cut into little pieces to suit the carbon stem.. Can you recommend what diameter tubing would you use for this... Regards Jimmy 👍

Hi Jon, great video. Can I ask can you show how the blue winders with the bleak floats are on, how are attached fixed underneath.

Great vid mate. I have to be honest I think I nodded off near the beginning when it went a bit French then woke up near the end when there was some drilled bullets from the 70's on some 1cm winders. Would you consider doing a vid on coffin leads? PS that cassette is a disgrace get the Mr Sheen out 😀

Enjoyed this Jon, do you put a drop of washing up liquid in your shotting bucket to break the surface tension?

John what float box do you use....? Was rusty after 12 years on the Medway Master's Sunday. 14th out of 60 and a section win on the second day.....

Well John, that was very interesting. I’m on the right track generally but due to removing the heavy matrix trays from my box Im trying to store rigs in lighter tackle boxes like the new shallow matrix Eva system. Apart from grouping a few winders together with rubber bands I haven’t found any other way of stopping them from getting into a mess! The new shallow Eva boxes need small tray with rounded corners so they stay put without moving about. As usual nobody seems to have stock which is really irritating! Hmm the downside of reaching 70 yrs old 😢if you or anyone has any solutions please let me know. Tights lines all.

Great video could you maybe do one on your canal rigs
