How to tie my Bream Rig! 

Less time untangling, more time fishing 😁

Thank you, glad you found it useful. It's one of those things that seems daunting before you try it but, once you've done it a couple of times, it's so quick and easy.

Thanks mate, appreciate the positive feedback.

Everything's easy when you've done it 1000 times! Lol I do have some hilarious gluing stories though, including one young lad gluing the pet dog to the carpet 😬🤣

Brilliant result mate. Well done. It's very satisfying when you target something specific and succeed.

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 next targets are something flat and cod

Good luck with both

There's no need for it to confuse you, all spools of line will state the diameter on the packaging, so just look for this rather than the b/s. My top tip would be, if a line doesn't state the diameter, don't buy it! If I stated a lbs breaking strain then there's every chance you'd buy the wrong line. Buying a 0.33mm line guarantees you won't. If you're new to fishing you have the perfect opportunity to not get into bad habits like the (sadly) majority of anglers in this country have been taught.

Sadly it needs replacing. I've tried a couple of times to revive old glue, but nothing has worked. Sorry.

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 cheers Tom, I bit the bullet 🤔 and ordered some more..

That's a Stonfo Line Rest: christchurchanglingcentre.co.uk/glue_products/glue_accessories/stonfo-line-rest-en/

Awesome thanks 👍🎣🐟

Definitely mate. If done correctly it's the strongest way. In a big swell I'd lose the pop ups, even consider shortening the snood lengths.

@christchurchanglingcentre5428 cheers for that! In a big winter swell, (north Cornish coast, head high plus) is going under 12 inch snoods reducing the amount of different species I catch? I still tend to stick with a pop up on my top snoods in those conditions, but it's more to do with fishing a size 6 for anything that swims and keeping it away from the doggies.

Hi mate. I'm always reluctant to do rod choice stuff, as there are so many variables! budget, personal ability, location you fish etc. For most of my bream fishing on my local beaches I like a 4.2m 3 piece beach rod with a hybrid tip for bite detection. You can get great rods from as little as around £90 (check out the Tronixpro Guerilla range) and of course rods costing £600+ if money is no issue! Team this up with an appropriate sized fixed spool reel loaded with good quality mono (never braid!) of around 0.25mm with a tapered leader to match.

Hi mate. That's actually a great question. Unfortunately 90% of my customers/viewers will not have used (or possibly even heard of) 2 way beads, so I tend to stick with swivels in the hope this encourages more people to try the rigs. Oddly I tend to solely use swivels myself when shore fishing, even though I love 2 way beads for my boat fishing and know the benefits of them. It's a bit of an odd situation, and I think it's just because I'm a creature of habit (posh way of saying stuck in my ways!). The one situation that differs is when I'm using and urfe rig, swivels and the likes on urfes just add to the tangles, so I'm 100% 2 way beads on these. In short, you can use either on this rig, so by all means experiment and see what works best for you.

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 ok thanks Tom, you converted me fully to the two-way beads a while ago, so there’s no turning back for me now 🙂 Btw - thanks for a very good & informative video, although I always use a 2 up 1 down for my bream fishing, my snoods have always been much shorter so I shall be experimenting with 2 footers for my next trip out.

Cheers Tom, very interesting video, I’ve never used glue on my rigs will definitely be trying it. Thanks Tom take care mate 👍🎣🎣

Just watching this Tom , you can reuse the grippa type pop ups , you can slide them off of the rig straight onto a loop of fine monofilament and use the mono loop in the same way as the wire .

Top tip mate, thank you 😊

I've tried a few, some work some don't, so I tend to stick (no pun intended) to this one, as it's never let me down.

Sadly not. Sorry. I would love to sell my rigs, but I just don't have the time to run a busy tackle shop and make rigs. It's a very time consuming job rig tying.
