DEVASTATING RIG FOR BREAM with Duncan Charman - Hampshire Angling TV Production

[@francolinobasco]

Very nicely put together Tom, looked like you guys got amongst the Abramis too.

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

+Mark Erdwin Certainly did after a slow start and thanks very much for the kind words mate, much appreciated. Tom

[@paulhughes6911]

Superb video mate I just started aiming for bream this season and loving it

[@KevinKempOvenmagic]

Good video, can i ask what’s the maximum hook link length for the helicopter rig ?is it best to stick to 3-6inches, and is it effective on rivers ?

[@davedoe6885]

Hi Duncan, great videos, what make is your landing net please Dave

[@KProgressive]

Are u using the baitrunner on the wheel? Can it still hook its self while pulling in the rod tips?

[@terrycousins3015]

Love watching your videos,rigs,waters, love the Scope rods,I’ve ordered two 10ft. 1.75 tc. Keep them coming👍🎣

[@castlebilliards8712]

Would you still fish at the same distance out later on in the year when the water warms up or would you fish in closer for the bream during the summer months ?

[@fishert4948]

I use the helicopter rig you described in the above clip . It works well , however I have some questions. I have experienced that while fishing with maggots smaller fish which are abundant in some rivers tend to suck or steal the maggots from the hook . As they are so small I cannot catch them . Therefore I would like to use (in some cases) another hookbait . Do you have a suggestion ? In summer I will try with corn on a hair. But in winter time that is not an option. Would it be a good option to attach a worm immediately to the hook ? Another possibility would be a hair with two plastic maggots attached to them and two living maggots on the hook . In this case when a small fish takes the living maggots i still have a chance.

[@paulm3040]

Would it not be better to use a quivertip rod ?

[@markpilley9538]

Well done Tom! awesome video mate, keep that up and you could go a long way. It's got me wanting a go at bream lol

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

It has inspired me to go for them more as well... Thanks for the kind words mate and for watching! Tom

[@baldvale5418]

Enjoyed your video, very good information. What make and model are the bobbins that you were using with your Nash alarm's please.

[@Anguilla87]

Thanks for the answer. This assembly works on eel fishing?

[@leonecoles7644]

hi i see you are using a keep net are they allowed on farnham waters,don.

[@marcoshea4868]

hi there what rods do you use for bream fishing ? great video thank you

[@bansky3237]

Wont the hooklength move down to the feeder when playing a fish? Cause its only semi fixed with the float stops. Would you reccomend putting a swivel or a rigring under the stop towards the Feeder to secure it? Anyways awesome Video! Its the 4th time i watched it and still cant get enough!

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

Hello Daniel, I'm so sorry about the late reply... Yes, they will as that's when they are under strain and need to move in order for the fish to fight freely as normal. Two good quality float stops (try Drennan or Guru) are perfect for this rig and will the conversion rates from takes is amazing. Sometimes it can be challenging to fish when there are too many small fish (especially little roach), but it is a very effective rig when used on the right water. So glad to hear you enjoyed it, hope to make more soon once pressures of college resits are over! Tom

[@bansky3237]

Thank you so much for the reply! Looking forward to see more soon! Daniel

[@YOURFISHINGCHANNEL]

i will try this , but i think its rather short for cautious bream, i do feel safer having the hooklength under the cage feeder. but i will try. wait for the film coming and will let you know.

[@StalwartShinobi]

top vids pal! im not at the point to be using big bait mixes myself in still on the sweetcorn and cheesestring diet but cool to see what else breem will go for. im at a small private owned pond and bet not many people have tried a decent mix thereoften so might be in luck when i do get around to it. Bream and Silverfish is what they have most and suposedly carp but for that pond i think you would be having your best day to get carp lol

[@TheAdventurours]

Nice video . However i have one remark. You are using a lineclip what would happen if a carp takes the bait ? You would get a run and ... bye bye rod?

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

There is a marker on the line made with pole elastic and you clip up to that. When the rigs are in the water, the line will be taken off the clip and if you don't get a fish, you can reclip and cast. If you get a fish, you can either use the marker and feel for that on the next cast or make a cast and re-clip - hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Tom

[@TheAdventurours]

I don't get it . Do you mean that there is a pole elastic attached to the line clip?

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

Once you've cast and hit the clip, you take the line off so the fish can take line as normal in the event of the take. You attach the line with the pole elastic as a marker to the clip once you wish to cast out again. Tom

[@peterhaskin8924]

Very nice! I have never seen one of those before. Looks like fun.

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

It is good fun, thanks for watching! Tom

[@MsElevator91]

Where is that Lake mate

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

It's in the village of Badshot Lea near Aldershot!

[@DarrenDavies]

Another nice video and good session

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

Thanks mate, very sorry about the late reply. Did certainly pick up after the first take! Tom

[@mickowen568]

r the lager bream more darker / i have been haveing these dark bream that look easierly 4 myb 5 plus

[@davt8615]

Good method, doesnt the maggot hookbait plague you with small stuff, a tend to find half a worm a better option.

[@peterrobinson6355]

what was the main line breaking strain please

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

6lb which was proportionate to Duncan's 5lb 14oz hooklink! This lake doesn't have many snags and is open so you can tire any bonus carp or tench without any trouble! I would use 8lb line though to 6 or 7lb hooklink if you want greater chance of landing bonus fish if there's more structure.

[@Anguilla87]

how heavy must the lead be from the feed basket?

[@robbiefottrell6643]

He's using a one 1 ounce cage feeder.

[@peterrobinson6355]

What type of rod are you using please

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

Hi Peter, Duncan is using a specialist 1.25 test curve rod I believe with the avon tip. The particular model I believe are his old Korum Neoterics which are discontinued, but think you can still track them down on ebay. The drennan avon quivers in 1.25 or 1.5lb test curve will be perfect for this type of fishing. Hope this helps. Tom

[@JayandOscarFishing]

Great Video! Quality editing and really inspired me to get back out on the bank :)

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

Thanks Oscar for the kind words! Shame some sad sod reuploaded it... Good to hear from you, Tom
