I am not sure how it would be possible to make this video any better. You know how to make a mackerel rig, but you also know how to make a first class video. Thanks for making and sharing.
i love all your videos, they are so informative, clear and simple to understand. i enjoy the fact that you use the rigs uve made to show how u make use of them and how they work effectively. thanks so much for doing these videos.
Paul, I have watched this over and over, and I still wish that I could be so fortunate to fish in a beautiful setting as Scotland. I have to agree with your sentiment about just being there is good enough.
Sadly i no longer live there and this was just a holiday to see friends who do, the whistle at the end was from a fishing buddy and hopefully we will be going back this summer for a bit of whistling and a bit of fishing. Thanks
Your video is the best. I followed them and made several variants of sabiki rigs before I went to Maine, USA for a two weeks vacation. All of them worked just great. Caught a lot of mackerels and pollocks. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
Oh man, I could almost taste those mackerel. My mom (passed now) and I were the only ones in the family that loved mackerel on the barbecue in summer and in a bake in winter. Thanks for the memories. All the best to you. Scenery was beautiful as well. Sean
This is brilliant. I've made your other mackerel rigs, with great success, catching spanish mackerel. And with as much coffee as I drink, this is a logical next step. Thanks so much for this!
***** I used to fish with a guy who ran on triple espressos, sometimes it was a little like talking to an over-revving outboard engine but he was from Brazil and knew how to catch fish. Thanks and Good Luck
I’ve made multiple sets and am really enjoying making them. Plan on giving some way to friends and have already caught some sea trout on them. Great idea and superb narration and editing.
Kinda cool with that mackerel image in the coffe...i like that,and great video aswell.Now i also have coffe mackerel rigs thanks to you Handmade Fisherman 👍😊
One of my favorite episodes. I've made many variations of mackerel rigs over the last couple of years. One of my favorite materials is the bag from Doritos chips which are very shiny and durable not to mention the chips are a nice bonus.
What's great is that the coffee packaging is "pre-scented". I find a bag of Starbucks grounds, which I received as a gift and I'll never drink, makes for great scent and worm food w a garlic clove or two. Great video as always! You have that creative Detroit spirit across the pond. Cheers!
Thank you for this video, with instructions on how to tie each lure to the main line. Your instructions are clear, simple and easy to follow. Your videos are good quality and the angles are superb. I also make my own mackerel/bluefish and sabiki rigs. This video is very helpful. You are creative and amazing. I love all your videos. Can you possibly do more videos of you ocean fishing? We enjoy watching you catch fish. Spouse and some family are from Ireland and Scotland. We are planning 2-week vacation to Ireland/Scotland next year and hope to do some fishing. Hope to use some of your handmade rigs.
Always a pleasure watching your videos , Paul , ...never knew that method how to tie a sidearm knot , ........also a great sight to see each hook of your rig engaged with mackerel , ........cheers , Dieter
Great video that’s my lockdown afternoon sorted financially this doesn’t make sense but the satisfaction of nailing fish on homemade lures is sheer joy
Very nice video, explained very well and a delight to watch. I've made several sets now as fish in Norway, to loose tackle can get very expensive and almost inevitable here, for something like this about 3 pounds a pop and made in China. I caught loads of fish with them, pollock, mackerel, colefish and I even had a codling and pollock together once.
+Scott tork I started making them because i used to lose the far eastern made ones in the reefs and kelp, and i figured that someone else was sitting down and tying them so why couldn't it be me. I think one of my best days was showing somebody on the beach how to make them and then the pair of us catching fish. Thanks
Made a couple of sets of these with size 4 hooks, and had a double hookup of little pollack on my very first cast into lock Creran! Great for pollack and mackerel, great vid, thanks for sharing, I'll never buy another set of lures again!

it was my first time to watch this video, I enjoyed the sceneries a lot, specially that last scene when the camera came to pulling out the 4 mackerels all one after another lining up perfectly. ... today is nasty day out side in NY with lots of rain and wind gusts before the hurricane, but u made me but on my fishing mode and went out , so I would like to thank you
+usamail usanyc The world often looks a little wilder from behind the curtains, so many times I have forced myself out and had the best of times. thanks
Yeha! Nice job with "nothing" but calm and simple way, i like this in your video! I don't have maquerel into my lake, but i can try this for pearch fiching (with small hook :) ). Thanks for your work and sharing! Stephane
Hi Paul, I made it and use it as a teaser with my casting jig using your same tip to connect it to the leader, miracles are hapening, thanks for the great video and tips.
***** juste a small remark Paul if i may, I noticed that you changed the knot you are using to tie the feather to the hook (comparing to earlier similar rigs in 2012 and 2013) , is there any particular reason? thanks
This is the knot i actually started out tying when i began making feather traces, it works and it it quick but it is not as strong as the knot i developed later which is in most of the videos. It only really works well with simple attachments and very few turns round the hook so it is not something i would use for everything but in this situation i am happy with it. Thanks for spotting and asking
Another awesome video Paul! Super cool idea.. Used ur previous vids to make sabikis! Work great... love the shrimp pattern sabiki the most! Looks Awesome can't wait to tie this one next!
Awesome I'll got try this rig out at local pond. Plus catching 2 '3'4 fish at the same time. That's for ideas you gave me.Plus liked this video vary much. Thanks again for wonderful tip.:-) Paul addimes.
Amazing thank you for the great video I did it but instead I have used parrot feathers cuz I have a pet parrot and there's a lot of old feathers with nice colours on them like red blue yellow and green so I used them with some type of reflective sewing thread And guess what it worked perfect for the mackerel and some sardines hooked too
As always, very clever and better yet it produces a nice catch....nicely done. Made me want to look up the Isle of Mull on Google Earth...pretty stunning views. Thank you for sharing.
Now this is a man that knows how to start the day right lol.would like to know some details on the coffee pot.i got two similar stove top Expresso pots,but they don't look like this.seems yours makes a sizable amount.intreasting lure.might give this a swirle.needed a simple way to rig perch hooks.some absolutely baby fish was all that was biting and needs micro gear to catch.would be good to live line later.
Great idea ... Simple and active But i have one or two questions : _Do you throw it alone with no baits? _Is it for sea fishing? _What is the weight of your sinker ? I am a beginner so i hope you answer my question.
Все просто,доступно и понятно,можно было даже без слов хватило бы музыкального сопровождения. Многим нашим блогерам не мешало бы поучиться делать видео.
Great advice, i have been making mackerel lures for a while now, crude compared to yours but they still catch, the reason why? Is because shop brought one's crack off and i think some brands the line breaking strain is over rated and also there's nothing like making and catching on your own tackle, i like swan feathers but will try your technique and that venue you fished from breath taking reminds me of west coast Ireland, thanks for posting
