AD QuickBite - How To Tie A Simple Pike Float Rig

[@aaronblanco9681]

Great video lads👍🎣

[@peterrobinson8469]

I see you don't use an up-trace. I was told if you don't the pike can bite the line and you end up with a dead pike. Is this true for braided mainline? I use a 65lb braid mainline for float and 100lb for deadbaiting

[@gavincorbett1272]

What are those weights called and where can I find them?

[@tedjones6779]

Do the pike feel any resistance with that lead

[@briansmith8313]

Most pike float sets up I’ve seen the tube is always facing down which secures the QC swivel

[@briansmith8313]

With the tube down was the was I was taught

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi Brian, the rubber sleeve secures the weight on top of the quick change swivel. That type of cross-lock quick change swivel doesn't require a sleeve to make it secure.

[@Brando21able]

Where do you get the weights with the rubber sleeve?

[@northbaseuk882]

Personally I prefer to use a free running lead on a lead clip with a rubber bead between the clip and trace. Pike are very susceptible to resistance and a free running lead in theory should allow the pike to pick up the bait with only the float offering resistance.

[@SunGodLuffy_5]

Correct me if I'm wrong but on a float rig, the trace and lead are suspended above the bottom of the lake so the sinker stays above the trace

[@northbaseuk882]

@@SunGodLuffy_5 depends whether you're fishing the bait on the lake bed.

[@SunGodLuffy_5]

@northbaseuk882 Yes, but I thought the rig in this video is supposed to stay suspended above the lake bed

[@northbaseuk882]

At no point I think in this video does it say that. The whole point of the sliding bead above the float is to make it easy to adjust to whatever depth you like.

[@SunGodLuffy_5]

@northbaseuk882 You're right, but my point is that I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to hit the bottom/lake bed.

[@garethnicholson2434]

How do I choose which size weight to use? I can see your float is 35g but how big is the weight? My float is 25g. Thanks

[@passievoorvissen1291]

hello if I fish with dead bait then I take a float of 25 grams and then the lead weight also 25 grams, bait fish weight I do not count, this can be very easy to bait fish up to 20 cm for sure. if the baitfish is too heavy and the float goes under, you can put 20 or 15 grams on it.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi Gareth, the size of the weight and float depends on the fishing situation. A fast flowing river or a wind swept lake would require a bigger float with a heavier weight. If your float was rated at 25 gram a weight of around 10-15gram would be ideal, that way the float still has some buoyancy left if you wish the suspend a bait off the bottom.

[@tyg5748]

What weight is the quick change weight?

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi Ty, they are the fox rage quick change weights. www.anglingdirect.co.uk/fox-rage-predator-quick-change-fishing-weights?queryID=47692fe074d4ae4317b5fa18505b6609&objectID=49041&indexName=live_ad_uk_products

[@jmsBungz]

I used this set up.. hard to get the depth right... And on river like the river Severn ull need a 50g lead minimum instead of what's provided.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hello Bungz, if your fishing faster flowing river like the Severn you can replace the egg type weight with a run ring and buffer bead. That way you can use a large weight attached to the run ring, but still offer no resistance when the bait is picked up. Finding the depth should be fairly simple, attach your chosen weight to the run ring and slide the float stop up or down the mainline until it suits the depth. This rig is best fished slightly over depth, especially on a fast flowing river. Hope this helps?

quick freestyle while learning how to fish

[@jimmyfireball]

When the music started. I thought Snoop Dogg was gonna come out and show us how to catch a pike.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

The lead goes on the line the other way. With the tube facing up.

@Cassius Romeo thanks mate that's exactly why I came to pike fishing videos to learn how to hack my mates insta account 👍

[@mrfish410]

“Your rig should look like this” gives some “artsy” close up that doesn’t show the rig properly 😂🖖

[@angryginge13_rageMoments]

I prefer not to use led

[@torbendinesen7121]

why fish with such an extremely thick line😆😆

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi Torben, the mainline used in this video is 58lb Daiwa J braid. It is only 0.28mm which is thinner than most 10lb mono lines. The reason for such strong braid is so that it never breaks. If your mainline breaks and you leave a set of treble hooks in a pike there's a strong chance that the pike will die.

[@robpatience7766]

Stronger the line the better only clowns use weak line
