Easy Fishing How to set up a Float Rig Part 3 The Loaded Waggler with Bill Allen

How to set up a loaded waggler for beginners

[@joseantoniorubiogonzalez9602]

*These are easy to use and highly visible **enjoyable.fishing** recommend they are extremely valuable for going from a dead drift set up to a float setup. They save time and you don't have to re-tie everything to add a float to your presentation.*

These videos are very useful and they also prove that the float manufacturers shotting advice on the side of the float is usually inaccurate! I don't even bother looking at it anymore.

Clive Bindley Hi glad you find the video’s useful. Tight Lines

[@JustTheDriven]

Thanks for the video 👍 getting into fishing myself and this has proved very useful.

[@droylsdenblue]

That simple 👍

[@magpiemale]

Used this method prior to going to the Lake... better than guess work

Rest In Peace Bill, I miss your vids and your knowledgeable chats, I bet you've shown Saint Peter all the fishing tricks by now😳

[@markrayton6385]

Oh no he’s not passed away has he ?

[@snerper]

@@markrayton6385 The last vid he put up, he said he was going into a hospice and there would be no more vids! He was a decent bloke!

[@markrayton6385]

@@snerper that is such a shame. He loved his fishing and made some great very well explained video's passing a lot of his skills on. So sad to hear this. R.I.P. Bill you will be missed.

@@markrayton6385 Yes he was a decent feller I would think, and he always tried to do his best by everyone, he ran a competition not long before he died to give some youngster the chance to win a whip and other gear to set them on the angling path!👍 Personally I admired the man, may he rest in peace!

Great simple instruction...thank you

Hello sir thank you for the videos on float fishing very easy to watch and learn from.

[@easyfishing1936]

codfishing180 Hi well I’m glad you are enjoying and learning from my video’s. I’m guessing from your title that you are a sea angler, if so a series of beach fishing video’s are planned! Tight Lines

[@barticoch]

Thank you, I learnt a lot there!

[@MegaTreble99]

Would it not be better to use stotz instead of gripper stops around the float, and a couple of droppers,, seems to be alot going on around the float?

[@billyward2434]

Thanks for the video

[@obi-wan-cod-obi6692]

Whats the advantage to using multiple small shots on the line instead of say 4 larger shots near the float

[@Baxter771]

Which waggler would you use in still conditions on the river Bill?

[@theimpaler5034]

How do you float fish fast waters as the current creates an undertow dragging the float under water I need 2 know how 2 becuase I travel to europe and the river is pretty fast

RIP Bill

[@Paulforsilvers]

Bill. Not being a good float angler myself. I asked a friend how h e set up. He said, just use a loaded waggler and one ssg shot, thats how he does it, with the ssg down by the hooklink, he catches loads. Does this seem a good option ? Would appreciate an answer mate. Thanks

[@easyfishing1936]

Paul Mennell Hi well that is a very crude set up and I would only use that kind of shotting pattern if I wanted to anchor a bait firmly to the bottom

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

if margin fishing or fishing very close in, would it be possible to use no shot at all, except for near the hooklink to sink it ? thanks

[@easyfishing1936]

ORIGINALINDIVIDUAL Hi yes it is especially in a wind as you sometimes need to slow or stop the bait being dragged. It is always worthwhile to experiment with shotting patterns on the day to see what works best. If you put all the shot down it will be like fishing the lift method. No shotting pattern is set in stone but the way I demonstrated gives great flexibility as you can have very few shot down for a slow sink to a single or double bulk or even all bulked down. Suck it and see what works to give the best presentation and therefore most fish on the day. Tight Lines

Easy Fishing thanks for reply, as a rule of thumb tho, am i right in thinking the more shallow and close in you are fishing, the less shot on the line ? im going fishing next week for the first time in years and im useing a loaded waggler set up with rubber stops, only fishing a few foot deep and a few foot out in the margins, any tips for me ? thanks

[@easyfishing1936]

ORIGINALINDIVIDUAL Hi well yes and no! If you are fishing very close in and in shallow water at close range I would be using a small Drennan Inline Crystal dibber float. Don’t worry about the float it is made for big fish in shallow water is very strong tangle free and is much less likely to spook the fish. It only works if you are fishing close in with a rod and reel but is a method I use a lot. Have a look at my video on pole floats for commercial fisheries. Will Raison has just put out a video on this method using a float rod with a pole float and if it works for a world champion I’m sure it will work for you! To many people think you can only use pole floats on the pole and wagglers on running line but this is wrong. You can buy wagglers for on the whip and I will, when I get the chance be doing a video on that as well. Tips? Well don’t feed to much bait and try and avoid spooking the fish because you can be very close to them. Don’t be frightened to use big baits I often use whole lobworms, double sweet corn and big paste baits very successfully on big strong hooks and line. Definately have the clutch set light as they can tear of at high speed when you hook them. I hope this helps. Tight Lines

Easy Fishing thanks for your help mate, tight lines 👍🏻

[@easyfishing1936]

ORIGINALINDIVIDUAL No problem glad to help and I hope you get some good fish. Tight Lines

[@anthonypowell1457]

Hi there Where can I buy one of those glass jars you use for testing you waggle set ups? Regards

[@shaneporter4401]

I was thinking the same, I'm going to try shops like home barging, b&m or Wilkos for a vase :D

[@YouGruff]

You could just cut the top section off a tall enough plastic milk carton or squash / fizzy pop bottle if you don't have a vase at hand
