Gemini - The Short Pulley Rig - modified 

I always seems to be behind everyone else when watching your vids but this one is excellent and solves my problems. Using an up and over rig with Trident parts I found that trying to hook the line over the Trident catch was difficult on a windy day. I liked the long snood but trying to manage the rig could be frustrating. However, I note that one of the contributors here suggests using a five foot rig and a five foot snood. Brilliant !! Gives me the long snood without the up and over rig blowing all over the place. I also use the Gemini Splash down which anchors the hook very firmly until the release is triggered. One other small point. When using the Gemini Connectors I found that at times the line tangled and disengaged from the Connector. I found (so far) that a small dab of rig glue ties the connector together and stops losing part of the rig but is easy to disconnect hook snoods etc. Perhaps the lazy man's way of doing things but it works for me.

A must try Mark, cheers for the info. 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣

Enjoyable video and glad to see you back..... :)

Hi mate love the video nice to see you back in the workshop might give the rig a go at some point still happy with the up and over pull rig at the moment tight lines mate

Another very useful video, I'll give it a try next time I'm out👍

Great tip about the spring 👍🐟🐟🐟🎣🇬🇧

Hi Mark I always use the hole in my clippers for a puller tool also handle of scissors on my hooks, awesome videos as always Mark loving them. stay safe and stay strong !

Good watch as always Mark. Will have a go making one and giving it a try. Take care.

Good Video will give this a try , nice idea on the SRT spring

What a great yet simple idea... Almost turns it into a semi fixed bolt rig

Lovely! An SRT spring to protect the snood from the dreaded spider crabs? What a brilliant idea! I like short pulley rigs, but I also like a 5ft rig body and 5ft snood when fishing the Bristol Channel. It's all great fun!

Hi Mark. Very Tidy, I'll give that a go.👍

Wow just how simple was the anti spider crab adjustment to any hook length. I will definitely be trying that one out. Also I have been using the Breakaway imp since it was introduced and I have never thought of encapsulating the hook in that way. Pure genius, great advice. I will be keeping an eye on the channel, and looking through your back catalogue. Thigh lines

Another great video. Really like the srt spring, tip. Going to try the rig when the Atlantic properly wakes up. I dabbled with it last winter, but as I reuse my rig bodies, I found that the silicone tubing would snap sometimes halfway through the second or third session. So it could be worth using two pieces of tubing and leaving one at the bottom of the rig.

Hi Mark definitely an interesting take on the how we normally do it , will give one a try this afternoon at the deep water at Maggie lane .

Hi fella, try clipping two of these together. Nice short double pulley rig for scratching when bites are hard to come by adding the scent of two baits. Kind regards Ben

Hi Mark. Nice to see you are keeping well. Canny, informative video of a tidy little rig. Have you gone back to Gemini because of a problem with termlinks etc, or just personal preference? Looking forward to your fishing videos. Take care and stay safe. 😷

Great videos Mark! keep up the good work. The SRT spring idea is a great one, saves faffing about with braided hook lengths that tangle if you look at them funny! Been having a play with the new trident stuff myself. Not a fan of the pulley clip, the whole rubbing lines bothers me and if like me you use a strong rig body (ie 100lb) it can actually stop the bead from sliding on the slightly thicker mono. on sandy beaches i can see it clogging with sand and then damaging the line as it passes over itself. If they had just kept it a simple small pear shape similar to the proper pulley they would have been onto a winner for sure! the clips and the roto are also great products, my only niggle with the roto is that they should have made the hole bigger for the thicker hooks so hopefully they work on that. Defiantly keep your snoods short for hound rigs! around a foot I have found is perfect here in north devon :)

This is the video i have been searching for Mark, feeding the Imp through to the back then placing the hook into it making the hook more captive, thanks for the video its brilliant.Did you discover this use of the Imp?

I got laughed at for suggesting to use the imp in the captive state, but it works 👌 What's happened to Paul 'Sandman' Edwards? Does anybody know?

Hi mark watched your video on the short pulley rig.And I was just wondering if you could go straight through with the line if your using the same line for the hook length. In this order imp stop knot bead swivel bead stop knot or crimp hook of choice what do you think thanks Rob.

Hi Mark been watching your channel I just got the bits to make a combo rig with rig tubing and power gum but I can’t find it and can’t remember have u taken it down could direct me please Thanks Chris Complete novice

hi enjoy the videos personaly i dont like the look of the pulley beads i prefare power swivels but my choice keep them coming mark

You forgot to mention flippy floppy tail !!!
