You truly are an artist and amazing thought through talent. Thanks for all your videos. Reminds me when I was in my teens also carving and creating lures. Thanks again.
You are the greatest man!I make various lures here in Australia but after seeing you operate like a well oiled maching is fantastic.I can't wait to make all of your Sabiki jigs. Will try them out in a few weeks for what we term Slimy Mackrel similar to your Mackrel . Thank you for your efforts and sharing.
i lived on island for a few years and getting anything there was a bit of a nightmare also getting rid of junk was equally as bad so i found myself with using what was to hand. But i have just got my first fly tying vice, which is a bit weird to use after doing everything in my hands. I tied one of these shrimps to a jig head and i am going to a bit light rock fishing with it. Thanks for encouragement. Paul Adams
I made these because a friend i used to fish with bought some shrimp rigs when he was away from the island we used to live on , they looked great but were not quite up to the job and fell apart so i made some of these just to see if i could do better. I used to go shrimp fishing in the summer with a big net pushed against my chest and spend the longest time putting baby flatfish back and ever so often shoals of larger flat fish would come into the shallow bay to feed on the shrimps. Cheers
It is truly Amazing to me Mr. Adams the fantastic work that you can do Without a fly tiers vice! Thank you so much for the great ideas that you have given to me being an old trout fly tier.
in uk waters there is always pollock and saithe over rocky ground, i have had codling with these, but they could be scaled down to use for garfish, or even wrasse close into the rocks.
Congratulations Paul... It's another magnificent work, still and pure presentation style with high quality video.... I'm watching from Istanbul / Bosphorus in a great admiringly...
Paul,i don`t know where you get all your ideas from ??? but they`re bloody fantastic and so simple. I`m a bit of a novice fly tyer,mostly intrested in catching coarse fish,rather than trout and i see no reason why you couldn`t catch with perhaps a little tinkering ???, perch or chub on that pattern. Great idea using the fibres from a duster too !!!
I have a fly tying vice but i have got so used to tying feather rigs and shrimp by hand that i have never felt need to start using it for this but it would making filming a bit easier. Cheers
Good video for inspiration. Made a tubefly sabiki, bucktail hair and then feeler, eyes and shell like in the video. Will be fun to test in a couple of weeks when the ice breaks here. Fishing for migrating seatrout. Always interesting to try out some weird new bait to spice things up.
1,794 to 56 is not a bad average 32 to 1 you've got such an imagination I think somewhere inside is an artist mind? which does help another excellent production "Great Work, Well Done"
again excellent! i use sabiki,s all the time in the summer for live bait collecting, might scale it all down to a size 12 hook, so many projects now such little time!
Early this morning i got my first fish on these lures,a flounder,not so sure if it went for the lure or the bit of salted herring on the hook,it took me a few failed attempts to make these ,but when all goes to plan they look good and dont take long to make
great video paul, been gathering the bits up over the winter to make the flying cs and these mackerel rigs , love the videos and thanks for posting , happy new year
love your instruction vids,im going to give them a go,i normally put one feather type rig on my rigs for sea fishing including off the beach,great for flounders and whiting,i ll try anything really,i love them shrimp eyes lol
come to think of it a long time ago i made something similar on a small jig hook and that was weight backward. I used it to fish for flatfish in a small sand estuary but only caught tiny things. The idea cam from when i use to push-net for shrimp the bar at the front of the net would send out vibration through the sand the shrimp would jump up off the bottom into the passing net. So i wanted to make something similar.
thanks for sharing this idea! is the tubing you are using 6mm on inner diameter or outer diameter? also, if i plan on using 4-0 hooks, would the tubing be the same size?
Paul Adams Tried this in a river?? Salmon or steelhead? Rainbow Trout? You can upload a mini video about how they use and their results? Greetings =) Element that you used to make the fish? Very good are your videos =)
If I made one it would take a full day.If it looked even remotely like yours I’d need to make a wee display cabinet for it put it on the wall where I could boast about it....yes I made it myself and all that bollocks.I don’t think I could put it on a line every cast I’d get separation anxiety.Whatever you do don’t give them names when Robbie left take that I was devastated!!(the rig was called take that) Robbie was on the end enough said.
this is a bit showy offey and I only made it because my friend at the time kept going on about how the great the plastic shrimp sabiki rigs were he was buying. In reality these are no better to fish with than the simle ones, just a bit of fun to make, thanks
