Patrick Sir that’s wonderful to receive this message - haven’t had a garfish for two years - strange fish aren’t they - the demise of salmon is sad but you do pick up the occasional sea trout on lures as a real accidental catch- we filmed some recently and they looked I’ll or very spent though - thanks again

Thanks Brian, appreciate you taking the time to say that. Glad your back fishing again there’s a lot of optimism with species returning to areas they once inhabited and some amazing smoothound, Ray and conger catches here in sussex when we missed out for decades

Welcome Billy

Glad it was helpful!. Its always good to try tying your own rigs. With winter coming its a great thing to do when you cant be fishing. In recent years i get mine made up-and making your own teach us a lot about how to hook the fish too

nice one

Thanks Philip

Thanks for saying this , the advantage of having less subs is I get to reply and find out what other anglers are up too I should probably tie more of my own I’m guilty of buying too many . Thanks again

@@SaltwaterAngler it's more rewarding catching on your own tied rigs!

Hi guys! Is it much cheaper to tie your own? I'm on a tight budget and noticed rigs are expensive but so are the bits needed to build your own. Cheers!

Nice

Welcome ! Another good option is to order some rigs and copy them 👍

@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks for your reply,👍 we live and learn 👍 keep posting 👍

Hope it helps. I think i might to update this series soon.

Appreciated thanks

Appreciate that, thank you very. much

Nice 👍 thanks for watching

O. K I'll do a video on this for you

@@SaltwaterAngler thanks..look forward to it. May sound daft also loading line onto reel would be useful.

Thi k that was covered in rods and reel episode but I'll do that too, thanks though it helps to know what you want to see

I've got Brian to cover it in the latest video Friday 19th July.

@@SaltwaterAngler thanks. Just watched. Just going for it now

Thanks, Most of our rig tying series feature a pull back view sometimes with a picture in picture but I'll make sure I do this with every rig from now on. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback.

@@SaltwaterAngler much obliged. Thank you! And cool channel! 😉

Thanks

Thanks Jamie, I like the korda green ones but I find round or needle Nose ones the most versatile I think it helps to feel the pressure of the crimp. These can be foun in most DIY shops

O. K will do. Have done some videos on leader knots check them out. We even tested them. I've Co e away from them a bit by usi g braid of 40lb straight through for some fishing

No not really - good quality ones are soft and as long as they are crimped properly can slide on the line. Do make sure you check closely to make sure they haven’t been over crimped !

I’m on my 1000 plus fishing trip and still am on a run of blanks ! Par of the course I’m afraid. It will make the first fish seem even better if your initial trips are unsuccessful - you will catch well at some point please let us know how it’s going

Ha I've been fishing nigh on 40 years on and off and caught handful of times, it's not about the fish you know, ha ha blanked once. You got a few more dozen of them coming. Ha

Sure mark bare with me I’ll repost the link here if I find them !

Thanks very much!

Yes pretty much a main body of the rig line is similar in breaking strain as the leader.

@@SaltwaterAngler thank you, what LB would you use for your main line?

Good question.It depends where you intend to fish. Try veals over the phone and they should bespoke it for your chosen venue

Thanks for the comment , a leader is not essential if you are using thicker line straight through (from the rig to reel for example) I used to fish 25lb line , no leader but was only gently lobbing 1oz weights. Another way not to use a leader is with say 80lb breaking strain braid and 3 oz that I use a lot for general beach fishing. That said a leader is really important for any power cast or beginning with snappier casts. That weight can be be lethal. I use a 60lb tapered leader with 18lb main line. If I’m not using braid.

@@SaltwaterAngler thank you x

Must pull tighter

@@SaltwaterAngler I only use the uni knot it never ever has slipped it's impossible the rod will break before the uni knot slips it's only friction that holds the blood knot together

In 60 years of fishing I can’t ever remember one slipping!
