Barbel Rigs - My Easy Pellet Rig

[@johnhurst3770]

Great video I really enjoy the way you explain the methods and rigs you use.I have recently started to fish for barbel on the RIibble after a lay of from coarse fishing of 20 years. After watching your antics on the river you have got my excited about my fishing again at the age of 68 . I fish the Albert stretches so may bump into you some time please keep the videos coming many thanks John

Hi John, I hope you are well! This is the kind of response I love to see and how I aspire my videos to of some help to people. You have made my day with such a lovely comment. The channel is just about to take off now that I have much more time in my hands. Thank you for watching and I really hope to see you on the bank very soon!

Cracking video, just come across your videos and have subbed, very cool rig, I mainly use pallatrax Pro but do like the Banktacke heavy duty lead clips, with the wire clip, brilliant for 7-8oz weights for flood fishing on the trent, I do use bank tackles kevlar braid which is brilliant for the trent, will try the semi stiff coated braid too, looks cool , enjoyable video, good health and safe travels, cheers craig 🌿

[@PikerBiker]

Hi Craig! Thanks for watching my video and the great comment! I will definitely have to give pallatrax a go. Have a great weekend and I will check out your channel! Tight lines

Great video however do you use a new rig for each pellet? sorry if thats a stupid question.

[@PikerBiker]

If I was using a boilie hookbait I might use a standard hair stop rather than a lasso (grimmer knot) however if I was using a single hard boilie, I shave the boilie into a pellet shape and the lasso works well, if it was a soft boilie then a standard hair stop is better. Hope that helps clarify Jay. I sometimes vary the pellet attachment to keep the fish guessing.

Hi Ian. Just subscribed and loving the videos. I fish the S&DAA stretch at Walton le Dale and hoping to get into the chub and barbel. Can you tell me what products you use for your home-made pastes, please? Cheers, Derek.

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks Derek, the homemade paste you seen on the old video was used by grinding the boilies and adding the same flavour of the boilie in liquid form and that is something I used regularly. These days I usually just add scalding water to a tub of 3mm micro pellets, leave them overnight and the next day you are left with a mushy texture that can easily be moulded into a paste, too tip is to add some liquid flavours at this stage and you will have a very potent and heavily attractive paste that leaks flavour down river attracting fish to your hookbait. You can use any boilie or pellet to achieve this and it’s good to experiment! Thanks for supporting the channel

[@derekwhiteway6918]

@@PikerBiker Thanks Ian, I'll give these a try. Recently had a go with some sonubaits 1:1 paste mix, but ended up too granular and loose. Tight lines. 👍🎣

[@Branno46]

Been a hour still can't work out the twist so doesn't 😴 work about it's easy yes for you

[@PikerBiker]

Sorry you are having trouble Terry, I will try slowing the method down in a future video to help you, or if you are local I will gladly come out fishing with you and help you with it

[@Branno46]

I still cannot do it looking at you doing it, we have to do a mirror image as left is right and right is left as we look at it of it and reverse what you are doing so cannot work out the twist and bringing up line with finger before the wrap , its bloody impossible, I'll have to stick with hairs, or bands that the fish see, and cumbersome drilled pellets as try to drill them and they just break up ,

[@PikerBiker]

I will meet you on the bank pal, I will personally show you mate. I’m out of country til July though so won’t be for a few weeks or so

[@Branno46]

Don't worry about it I can't do it so that's how it is what you've never done you don't miss, I've give up .

[@Branno46]

Can't do that knot to fast on the twist so don't work for me

[@PikerBiker]

Will do a better version to simplify
