Very good video mate was looking for a simple rig like this new to slide baiting but when i want to cast dead baits I think this is the better option 🤙
Thx... nice vid... for the last 50yrs I just been using a thick piece of copper wire to hold the hook and pilly close behind the pyramid sinker... releases well when slack in the water
Crafty. As in the same as hooking straight onto the sinker hook in the video? That cast well but every so often I’ll wind in and it won’t have come off
You make a great video mate, I never thought of using the dangle like that, I only thought the bait went on the dangle. I'll be trying this method one day, thanks for sharing.
Thank you mate! Yeah I haven’t seen it elsewhere but it works really well with the gangs. I forgot to mention it in the video but it your bottom hook has enough gape showing you can clip it straight onto it, as well as I’ve messed around with crimping a smaller hook onto the bottom one to hang below the tail and attach into the release clip, which turns the dangle into just an extra hook
Mate only just clued on to who you are. Have watched many of your vids and am subscribed on my personal account (both now). Your vid is the first place I ever saw the toothpick method for livies. Thoroughly enjoy your vids mate keep them coming!
Great quality video and audio. Awesome catching! Nice sinkers love the pick up truck and that you can drive it on the beach. beach looks nice and clean, wish our beaches and water looked that good.
Great information and instructions Salmon smoked are yummy And in fish prices added to a add to a stir-fry after you pan fry the prices Then add to the stir fry 👌
Cheers mate. Has become the go to for almost everything off the beach except the slammer stuff. Has been working great with live yakkas for mulloway. Hopefully there’s some nice gutters around once the swell eases
Cheers mate! At the time of this video I was getting them online from Mo Tackle. I still do get the odd batch online but for my 6oz sinkers I’ve switched to Cobalt Blue grapling sinkers. Most tackle shops can get them in however they’ve downgraded the wire in the last batch I got and don’t hold as good, but still a very good sinker
Nice video. This the UK style of beach fishing? They use imp clips, Gemini clips, and pulley rigs. I think they use a dongle, or loop, to cast dead baits because the hook is buried in the bait. I bought some pulleys and clips on eBay, and I hope to have a go this summer. Thanks from David.
Yeah I know the Europeans are into this kind of thing but I picked up the techniques from the South African guys. Seems the Aussie tactics of beach fishing are very simple compared to a lot of the world
@@anglinguntangled Yes, I guess fishing techniques travel the world. During lockdown, I mage up some pulley rigs, I’m hoping to have go at Blacksmiths once this weather improves and the swell calms down.
Great content mate! curious about that rod, as in the cast weight is supposed to be 85g. you're throwing approx. 150g plus pilchard? The prevail heavy model is rated to throw 250g or something but the 6 to 12 kg your using is only rated at 85g. So in short if the 6 to 12 kg rod will actually throw the weight you're using and not explode i will buy the medium like yours over the heavy 12ft version. Hope that makes sense.... Cheers Mate.. looking forward to your new content...
Cheers mate, appreciated! My prevail is from the previous series which were rated differently to the prevail 2’s, so It’s a 8-12kg 30-120g rod. So I’m still casting over the recommended weight by a bit but I don’t give it everything I’ve got either. Mind you the one I’ve got is a very tough rod and I’ve no doubt the prevail 2’s are the same. But out of the current lineup the 13ft 8-20kg would be the pick for this type of fishing as well as throwing bigger baits for mulloway (the Penn site has the cast weight wrong and I think it’s actually rated upto 200g when I checked motackle). You could go the 12ft 6-12kg if you think you can get away with using smaller sinker weights and It would be a more sporting rod for tailor salmon, even drummer, and would be a lot better for throwing metals around too
Love me Gangster Gang Hooks but every time I put a swivel in between them they tend to slip out as I found the barb not as good as the Mustad ones. Any tips as I have tried many times with different swivel sizes. Love the videos. Thanks
Look I’ve been giving them a go for a while and I’m not too happy with them. With it without swivels I’ve found that the eyes have a tendency to break it open up. Shame cos they’re deadly sharp
Just by connecting with some swivels and then crushing g the eye on those swivels to stop the hooks coming off. Pre made ganged hooks do just fine but mate
I’ve been playing around with it for a while with some success but also a few frustrations. I took a rig I’ve designed myself for a test drive the other night and got an 80cm Jew and had no issues with the rig fishing over a couple of hours, so will hopefully show it off soon if it keeps producing the goods. Sinker weight just depends on the amount of water movement but usually around a 5-6oz does the trick 👍🏼
Great video mate. I am a beginner in fishing.Just wanna ask when do you strike to set the hook. Do you let the fish run with the bait or strike after a few nibbles. Or is it that different fish bite differently.
Thanks mate! Well but off a difficult question to answer and many factors at play, but for this rig I wouldn’t be striking at small bites but wait for a bite that loads the rod up decently, or actually makes your line go complete lately slack. My other video chasing beach bream might illuminate it a little more. But I’m short I don’t wait for a run but I’m not striking small bites either 👍🏼
@@anglinguntangled Mate..you are an absolute champion for responding so promptly.We need more guys like you who go out off their way to help us novices.I have also subs to your channel.Will have a view of video u mentioned.
@@anglinguntangled Sorry to bother you with more question mate.With beach fishing what is the ideal wave/surf height. I have been doing a lot of reading n watching YT videos. A lot of ppl have different views.At the moment i am only targeting bream flathead whiting and travelly.I am not good at long cast😁but hopefully will get there with more practice.
With those species I’d prefer a 1-3ft surf (~1-2m on the weather forecasts). But basically you’ll need swell big enough for some kind of breaking wave action that is getting a bit of white water over a gutter. As the swell gets bigger the fish will likely still be there but the sweep (sideways current) will be difficult to deal with on light gear. The beauty of those species is that you generally won’t need to cast very far for them and I’d actually prefer closer skinnier gutters than deep wide ones. Trevally are a pretty uncommon catch of the beach though for me anyways 👍🏼
Cheers mate. This last couple of week I’ve been out 4 times and only had a couple of baits stolen (probably not even by sharks). Went with a mate who got a small hammerhead though which was pretty cool. Am keen to get into them this summer so fingers crossed it will come together and be one of the next vids 🤞🏼. You had any more luck on the jewies?
@@anglinguntangled I haven’t been out in a while but one of the times I was down at the beach talking to someone who’s caught plenty of jewfish of the break walls. He lost a big one around this time last year and I’m thinking of starting to experiment with live bait to try and get one of those big ones. Hopefully I can get out soon and try to catch another one 🤞
Yeah I think that’d be the way to go if your after a trophy fish. If you haven’t seen slide baiting before you should check it out. Is a way of getting large live baits and dead ones out far when needed
@@anglinguntangled yea I was actually getting a setup with 30lb mono and was thinking of slide baiting so that I can position my live baits well. I’ve also found a spot which holds lots of good sized mullet which would make for perfect live bait
