Wrap a bit of insulating tape where you want your reel seat then slip it over the tape and attach the reel . No more twisting 👍

Hey Billy, I didn't realise it at first but I have learned so much from watching your videos. Pretty much all of the fish on your dongle are hooked in the front of the mouth. This massively increases fish survival on being returned. I have been watching other videos in preparation for my trip to Norway and so many fish are really deep-hooked and then returned. Hmm. I don't fancy their chances. Thank you for sharing your experience so freely. And yes, a session like this in the UK would be a red letter day!

Hi David. I'm glad you brought this up, the South Africans fished pennle rigs for years? And they noticed that most fish fell to the top hook. Circle hooks at the time were mostly fished from boats, and then between a blend of carp fishing and boat fishing! the Dingle dangle was born. This is why I call the method in the video the flatfish hair! What is only really suited to small fish. It works better than two hooks, it works better than j hooks. Hope your trip to Norway is fantastic. Tight lines Brother 😁👌

@@Billyfishing_watch I saw another video where a couple of guys had over 60 spawning-size cod. They were all deep hooked. They were even bragging about how the cod were big enough to engulf their massive baits. They t-barred them and returned them. There was some research done in the US in a trout fishery comparing the mortality of returned fish that were fly or bait caught. Fly caught was like 1%. Bait caught mortality was over 90%. The cause? bait fish were deep hooked. A t-bar might get the hook out but the fish will likely die. Thanks for making me really think about this. I have a whole bunch of dongles made up now in varying sizes, and a whole range of circles to try.

@Billyfishing_watch2 ай бұрын
Hi. You can catch wolf fish from north to south, but they are only where they are! What I mean is they're not that common. But sometimes you get many in one place, and then the size is not that great. So unless you have local knowledge they are quite difficult to target. Thanks Brother 😁👌

why not just use coasters, i tried the trigger reel fitting years ago, not only could i not tighten it enough but the trigger was in line, with a coaster you can off set the back one and get a better grip, cant remember the last time i caught as many codling as that in a session
@Billyfishing_watch8 ай бұрын
Hi John. You are right! They are still selling those reel seats. I cannot stand it when people waste their good money and badly designed products. Century tackle, make good reel seats. Instead of a trigger it has a coaster on it, thanks Brother 😁👌
@johnkay73548 ай бұрын
yes they do, but i will always use the coasters, like i said, i off set the front one a bit to the right and the back one a bit to the left, better grip in the wet and cold, that is of course when you are doing performance casting, many years ago when i had a PK7460 i think it was, that had a trigger on the fitting, but that was before i started field casting@@Billyfishing_watch
