Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzfaq.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

Been 4 years since I learned how to make these and I haven't had to buy a set since. Hands down the best one. Tremendous video

Paul you are a genius, the stuff you come up with is absolutely incredible. keep up the work!

Great to here that they are working for you. I picked the hook size as a compromise so i could catch smaller fish like gar up to cod or big Pollock, but i think hook size and type is really a personal thing i have used everything from 1's to 6/0 for cod. But i haven't been sea fishing for while and i have been thinking lately about building a small ply outrigger canoe and going a bit native on a welsh beach for week in the summer and just living on barbecue mackerel and chip shop chips.

I made some of these a while ago after watching your video. Only got round to using them on Thursday and caught around a dozen good sized herring and a mackerel on them. Great stuff Paul.

So simple,easy to do and could be adapted to catch perch,trout etc...... especially with a fly rod. Excellet how to video !!!

I've been watching with admiration. Thank you

Thanks Paul, tied a few and they look great, can't wait to try them out.

Thanks for the video, you make the sabiki making so easy. I have followed your method and created few variants of shrimp, bloodworm sabiki and they works perfectly. Keep up good works.

Thank you Brazil and good luck with the fishing

I'd love to do that myself! I'm a big fish eater and love this time of year when I can stock up my freezer with enough fish to eat for the next month or so. It's so expensive to buy in the shops atm, even the humble mackerel isn't that cheap anymore.

I've had other BPM baits kzfaq.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

amazing job.... a big hug from Brazilll

This is a great and simple lure. I made my own using a size 4 hook and it works great. So good in fact that people have asked me to make them some.

the only thing i have found when fishing is theories seldom catch fish, experience and experimenting are the only reliable ways my fishing has improved. The only advice i can give is try out the different lures and find out for yourself what works, when and where. Cheers

i have been messing round with drop shot rigs which are very similar with an aim to find some perch, Trouble the perch are not wanting to be found. Thanks

thanks, hope you get chance to make some

Awsome, I realy want to have a go next making my own feathers.

Yet again a great vid please make some more mackerel fishing vids

i have seen these with a clear tube also installed over a portion of the tinsel

beautiful fish hook

Superb... its easy to follow...👍

great video thanks

Looking back at my amateur radio background, I suppose that silver plated braid from a coaxial cable could be used as well? Just take care that it is not copper, if not silver plated guess that alluminium braid would do just as well. Check in the nearest cable store. And of course, thanks for the great explanation Paul!

BTW - great excuse to have your own red nail polish:-)) Excellent idea, tnx!

Excellent video. Again. Do you reckon a smaller version would be good for trout?

I just make 10 pcs with deferent colors...but i don't know what color works in clear sea and night or maybe in very deep ocean :D maybe you can advice me some tips. I'm sure this kind of bait works great I'm exited to try it.

Hey Paul, could you show some more DIY mackerel rig lures?

which is more effective? The feather rigs or the holographic rigs? Great vids thanks

Excelente 👌

Just to add, I used size 1/0 hooks though as that's all I had in my box.

Sorry Paul I've A Confession To Make Since I Found Out That I Have The Ability To Watch Your Videos Via My Tv Ive Become So In Grossed That I've Forgotten To Hit The Like Symbol On Some Of Them So I'm Working My Way Back Thru Your Entire Collection Checking And Correcting My Error Sorry Fella !

What size mylar tubing as you can buy small medium and large

is the nail varnish not poisonous to the fish

Hey man can you give me the link to the hooks that you use to make these??? Couldn't find them...

glad you use ft and inches nice i trying to get into lure making and sent you a message but not got an answer. love the vids (not the expense of getting started though lol)

What's the name again for the silver line for the rig? Paul.

magic

Amigo q tengo q comprar? ??estoy en italia y no se ni q busco

What diameter is the mylar tubing you use here?

you are amazing 😍😍

Good work dear. Very easy and simple. Please confirm what material is use to make this stuff?

This is an older video but vary informative, I’m looking at doing my own mackerel rigs because using the ones they sell at the tackle shops aren’t strong enough, I keep getting cut off by the toothy critters , and it needs to be strong enough to haul them up on the pier about 20’ ft up , do you think it will work using thin wire from hook 🤔 to an say 40-50 lb monofilament for the main line ?

One question for you; I find you use sticky tape to position snatchers than thread. Is there any reason why you don't do thread wrapping then apply varnish?

I think time is my enemy at the moment, so it may be some time, sorry and thanks

i been trying to make this but in diff colors what can i use insted of a silver thing?

already i am overwhelmed with a sense of jealousy, i will fight this and say good luck. but some pictures would be great if you are not too busy winding in fish, thanks

Hi

that silver wire , in wich shops i can find it ?

Hi paul. Excellent video. I'm struggling to find any mylar tubing. Is there anywhere online that does it? Again excellent video. Keep it up. Quality stuff! Thanks.

Do you need to use 35 pound line?

For a guy with way too much red nail polish.....you sure tie some mean knots
