Hello Billy, I'm very happy I found your channel. You"re doing an awesome job! If you ever make it out again to Sicily, look me up. I'll take you to some good spots at north & west coast. I'm also in Malta cliff fishing. Again, great stuff here!!!
Hi billy found your channel last week mate. Watched a few films and i enjoyed them. Just subscribed and hit the bell. Look forward to future vids. Were you based at? . Just tied a few rigs with your idea of the bottom hook as bait holder. All the best billy from grimsby on the north east coast.
I am using 90lb nylon wire for tope traces..i usually use crimps but after seeing this video and the one on the figure of 8 knot i tried tying the wire..the shell is ok but ehen i try tying a knot i het kink in the wire. Can the nylon coated wire be warmed up ro make itca bit more flexible..what wire do you use??
Hi Gavin. You can use just the figure of eight, you can tie wire up to 250 lbs with it. You can also snell with the figure of eight. Just tie it on the shank of the hook. I demonstrate this in this video just follow the link. Thanks Brother 👍😁
It's 49 strand wire. If you are tying the figure of eight in a normal manner, not snelling. You should close the knot moisten the wire and then slide it down. If you do this it will not kink 👍
