Andrew Knots is a genius the most innovative of anglers and brilliantly conveys his ideas and techniques consistently on his videos.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks for a good word!

[@destro1989]

Sounds like a testimonial lmao. But I agree, one of my favourite channels!

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks, guys!

[@zolidaradics6516]

Very clever rig. I think with the floating lure it will work best. Perch should smash that every single time. Thanks again for the cool videos.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Sinking ones do work great too.

[@tunacanoe695]

I can't believe I've never seen the jika rig tied like this, it's genius!

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks.

[@huskergator9479]

Good stuff brother! I will tie and try this today. I am from great plains of u.s. Always makes me smile that your perch and zander are so similar to our perch and walleye. Thank you!!

[@AndrewsKnots]

Yes, same fish +/- Thanks.

[@matthieuhagmann2582]

when you have a floating crayfish the result is just magical !!🙌

[@AndrewsKnots]

True story.

[@jebilly2470]

It's very difficult to take perches this time, I will try that Rig tomorrow. Many thanks !👍😉

[@AndrewsKnots]

Good luck!

[@James-bristol]

Thanks for the videos used this rig today had a few small perch.

[@citizenGman]

I smashed some largemouth this morning with the gika. I attached a 1/8 ounce teardrop weight to a 1 /0 ewg hook, with a snap, and half of a senko for bait. It doesnt have to be a floating bait. My first fish on the gika! They totally attacked it. Part of the trick bag from now on! Gonna hit em again later.

[@AndrewsKnots]

That is awesome! Yes, bait does not have to float!

[@alexkeegan1223]

Brilliant video as always, quickly becoming my favorite channel 👍 I have used your improved jika rig and it's excellent, perch fishing is my favorite, I live in Ireland and our perch rarely get over 40 cm, but with your techniques I'm catching bigger fish more regularly in and around the 1 lb mark but hopefully I'll get a 2 lb fish soon 👍

[@AndrewsKnots]

Keep trying! Thanks.

Hi Andrew. Congrats, very useful. Thank you for your work. Best regards, Traian.

Cracking video Andrew. Some nice fish as well buddy and I’ve never heard of that rig before. Then again have only been lure fishing for a few years so I’m still learning. Definitely one for me to try it out next time I get chance to chase some stripeys .. Love it 👍🏽😀🎣

[@AndrewsKnots]

Good luck! Thanks

[@vladimirtemnyalov7059]

Great video Andrew! Thanks for sharing. BTW I`ve got the same rod, a brilliant piece of kit!

[@AndrewsKnots]

Great to hear!

[@iliyansmilenov4540]

Very interesting video and rig! Wouldn't the lure get tangled in the loop when jigging? I see that this presentation is effective when vertical jigging. I wonder how it would do in normal circumstances.

[@AndrewsKnots]

It wouldn't not. I use this rig over 3 years - no tangles so far. Only thing that can happen is line twist in the loop if you will use something thinner than 0.20 mm. with bigger lures..

[@grahamguntley6216]

Great Filming, really obvious what to do. Do your weights have a swivel in them or a fixed eye?? Guess I'm asking you to post a link to them.... Cheers G

[@AndrewsKnots]

As per video.

[@mrlovegod21]

Excellent video thank you for sharing.what size hook are you using & the size of the lure ?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Hook is to match the lure; roughly, hook should be 1/2 lure length. Thanks.

[@WATZKOW]

Another quality video, Andrew! Are you based in the UK?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Yes, thanks.

[@MrAntinsk8]

Ohh! New aji rod from tsurinoya! I have one from this brand, first generation aji rod - "dexterity" 632 1-8 gr and i don't love it. It is to soft, real test i think 1-4 and it is not sensitive, it is more like xul trout rod with solid tip, not aji or microjig like it described. In comparsion with superlite 762 from kuying it's not the same level. I hope new elf generation is more better because it costs the same signs with superlite kuying. I think about 752 elf for my chubs...waiting for some words about this rod.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Tsu Elf Ajing are great.

[@kingofsquids]

Thank you Andrew, great idea and I'm going to try it. What is your preferred length to leave the trace?

[@alonps]

beautiful and educating video

brilliant thank you andrew a thinking mans angler

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks.

[@yep.fishing]

A floating lure looks to me to be the best option

[@AndrewsKnots]

Both do work well.

[@peterevans8194]

I am a complete novice at this, so I wonder if you could advise what gram weight is being used, and also the size of the hook being used here?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Weights as required for situation as well lures (and hooks to match the lures).

[@Camoff15]

Good idea, thnx.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks.

[@F3484E]

Carolina rig or dropshot or jighead. What is the difference between this system and these?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Better bite indication, better presentation when it comes to carolina/texas; DS is different thing.

[@delwigzieful]

Seen this before it's a good rig but i prefer the Tokyo rig nice video Andrew,Para

[@maxinesmyth3183]

Hi Andrew Another great video thank you. I would like to buy some lures hooks and weights from Ailexpress but I have never used them. Do you pay for your goods using PayPal ? and what about tax charges on delivery is it still worth buying ?

[@garry8805]

You can pay using PayPal but not all suppliers support PayPal on AliExpress. After watching Andrews video's i took the plunge and purchased an item from Ali to test the water, i set up an account using Visa/Debit and haven't looked back. I've ordered Rods, reels, bags, lures etc... with no problems at all and communication has been very good from all the suppliers and tracking details provided for every step along the way. Items can take from 10-28 days and it will say how long expected delivery is on the item you are buying. Tax is added on the check out which is VAT 20% but everything which i have purchased has worked out much much cheaper than it can be purchased for over here in the UK.

[@maxinesmyth3183]

@@garry8805 Thanks Garry I’ll give it a go then.

[@AndrewsKnots]

Thanks, guys!

[@D3nn1Quet]

Hi Andrew, good looking rig. What is the hook rate of this one? I often use Carolina rig as frommy point of view, there is a lack of lure contact/control due to the length of the hook link, but this one seems to work bit better in regards of the lure contact 😀 Who the heck pushed the thumbs down button?

[@AndrewsKnots]

Bites to hooked fish ratio is similar to plain jig but depends on the day etc.
