This is how I tie a loop for quick change stems while also using rig tubing for carp fishing. These are generic stems which are available on Ebay and Amazon.
I've recently had the issue with the knot being too far up for me to be able to use the tubing, seeing you use a secondary loop has just solved my problem! Thank you sir!
It does mate, I know it's easy to get anal about these things but I just have a thing about wanting to pin my line down plus the fact the tubing is fish safe when playing them. Cheers pal 👍🏻
This is great. I have been using some of the new cygnet stems. And I haven’t really liked them cause the loop has to be so big. Since the knot is to big to pass through the stem hole. I think this solves that.
Hi Steve- as a Newby to carp fishing I'm getting most of my information of u tube .just wondering why when fishing with a solid bag the bait go's in first and not the weight.
Hi Jim. Sometimes it's simply a case of personal preference other times it can be deliberate. Personally I like a bit of separation between the hook and the lead so I'll pop the hook in first with some bait then I'll drop the lead in,I'll then continue to fill the bag. When I'm fishing at distance I'll pop the lead in first then fill the bag, This way the lead will fly further as it's weighted front first. Tight lines Steve
Could probably combine this with the inline drop-offs to your right, for weedy lakes that insist on dropping the lead whilst still giving you the quick-change advantage of pre-tied PVA bags. Thanks.
Hi Keith. Drill out the lead with a 4.5mm drill bit from the swivel end, only drill to around 3/4 of the lead not all the way through. You'll find the stems fit snuggly doing this. I tend to use 2 or 2.5oz with small bags and 3oz with bigger bags but depends on your rods and what sort of distance you're wanting to fish at. I use Chameleon leads in Tamworth he makes them from home with pride, his leads are top notch and very cheap, around 65p-70p each, he also posts them. Hoppe this helps Steve
The loop can be fiddly to undo, you need to push them towards each other. Got to admit I tend to be lazy and give up, then proceed to cut and re-tie 😃 Tight lines pal Steve
Hi pal. No I don't but after researching it there aren't that many tutorials or there. Wirth this in mind I'll definitely doing one. Thanks for the feedback. Tight lines.
@@BivvyLife plz let me know when u done the video I like to used the pva bag but need to know the whole set up from how to attach the mainline to the inline lead and what type of line to used for this pva bag I’m used the stem to I nee to the pva bags as I alway ued the mesh system
@andrewcarson3455 Hi mate No you don't tie this off it's simply a loop that allows the knot from the primary loop to slide tight up to the lead stem. If you tie it off you'll end up with a knot positioned too far away from the stem which will prevent you positioning your tubing onto the stem.
@@bobnudd6879 I heard the Gemini, you have to cut the line and tie a new knot. Here its about creating one loop that you can use to quickly change the solid bag.
