EP:4 Sea fishing beginners guide to RIGS

[@patrickkeen6127]

Thank you so much for these helpful videos. I am starting sea fishing after giving up game fishing ( so few salmon now ) and at the age of 81 I have so much to learn! These videos are so helpful and caught my first sea fish lure fishing last week, a garfish, so was very pleased as I followed your lure fishing advise. Once again many thanks. Patrick

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Patrick Sir that’s wonderful to receive this message - haven’t had a garfish for two years - strange fish aren’t they - the demise of salmon is sad but you do pick up the occasional sea trout on lures as a real accidental catch- we filmed some recently and they looked I’ll or very spent though - thanks again

[@Brian-mb9ez]

Been fishing for many years and recently found a rekindled love for the sport, nice to see I have been doing things pretty much correctly all these years.Enjoying watching your videos a great learning channel for those entering the sport, thanks for sharing

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Brian, appreciate you taking the time to say that. Glad your back fishing again there’s a lot of optimism with species returning to areas they once inhabited and some amazing smoothound, Ray and conger catches here in sussex when we missed out for decades

62 and new to fishing…..these vids are very useful. Thanks. (Subbed)

Welcome Billy

[@TheAudiostud]

As someone who's gone back to the beginning I would just like to say how useful this video is both for the novice or returner

[@dondondonnelly7256]

As a beginner, I was delighted to see how informative the video was in tying knots Thank you very much, Kind regards Gerry

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad it was helpful!. Its always good to try tying your own rigs. With winter coming its a great thing to do when you cant be fishing. In recent years i get mine made up-and making your own teach us a lot about how to hook the fish too

[@stephenscott5114]

I’m down in Deal so I been watching your vids closely as only just started fishing

[@SaltwaterAngler]

nice one

[@ajdexter4195]

These videos are really high quality, I'm not sure why you don't have 100k subscribes🙌🏻🙌🏻 Brilliant videos, even though I'm not a beginner I have always just bought my rigs but I have gotten in to tying my own👍🏻

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for saying this , the advantage of having less subs is I get to reply and find out what other anglers are up too I should probably tie more of my own I’m guilty of buying too many . Thanks again

[@ajdexter4195]

@@SaltwaterAngler it's more rewarding catching on your own tied rigs!

[@daniels.7753]

Hi guys! Is it much cheaper to tie your own? I'm on a tight budget and noticed rigs are expensive but so are the bits needed to build your own. Cheers!

Great for beginners like me thanks keep them coming

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Philip

[@shaunjones6049]

I am total novice, so it’s great to have someone tell you the size of the the swivels/ hooks/ beads/ line . Just ordered rig making kit but it’s all to small 🙄 . Should have watched this first. 🙄 subscribed now 👍 Keep posting 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Welcome ! Another good option is to order some rigs and copy them 👍

Up before dawn for a morning of pier fishing after blanking on lures yesterday. Tying a couple of these now. Missing crimps so using tungsten stoppers for the 3-hook flapper.

Excellent video, thanks.

Appreciate that, thank you very. much

[@ROY-COLLEY]

Very informative thank you .

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hope it helps. I think i might to update this series soon.

[@jamienewman4141]

Hi. Love your videos. Very informative. What type of crimping pliers do you recommend??

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Jamie, I like the korda green ones but I find round or needle Nose ones the most versatile I think it helps to feel the pressure of the crimp. These can be foun in most DIY shops

[@munawarkhan1666]

Very good bahi and very nice 👍👍👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks

[@problastlincoln]

Hi do you use a shock leader,and is so could do a vid on how you tie the hooks to it,and where and when you should use a shock leader,I am new to sea fishing but been a course fisherman all my life

[@SaltwaterAngler]

O. K will do. Have done some videos on leader knots check them out. We even tested them. I've Co e away from them a bit by usi g braid of 40lb straight through for some fishing

[@andyhill8312]

Hi im just getting back into sea fishing. My question is, dose the crimps not damage the line? TIA Andy

[@SaltwaterAngler]

No not really - good quality ones are soft and as long as they are crimped properly can slide on the line. Do make sure you check closely to make sure they haven’t been over crimped !

[@PJ-yh3cc]

Liked the vid...absolute beginner, so would be good to see rig attached to main line setup. Confused about line strengths still

[@SaltwaterAngler]

O. K I'll do a video on this for you

[@PJ-yh3cc]

@@SaltwaterAngler thanks..look forward to it. May sound daft also loading line onto reel would be useful.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thi k that was covered in rods and reel episode but I'll do that too, thanks though it helps to know what you want to see

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I've got Brian to cover it in the latest video Friday 19th July.

[@PJ-yh3cc]

@@SaltwaterAngler thanks. Just watched. Just going for it now

[@samlee2944]

So would I tie these rigs to a shock leader of equal strength as the rig attached to a lighter mainline? Thanks

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes pretty much a main body of the rig line is similar in breaking strain as the leader.

[@samlee2944]

@@SaltwaterAngler thank you, what LB would you use for your main line?

[@markcourtney7251]

Love this little video, very informative for me. I’ve searched but can’t seem to find those nice tapered beads, do you have a link please. Many thanks Mark

Sure mark bare with me I’ll repost the link here if I find them !

Thanks very much!

[@garethroberts7618]

Brliiant advice again mate. Can you suggest a decent rig making kit with all the bits in?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good question.It depends where you intend to fish. Try veals over the phone and they should bespoke it for your chosen venue

[@steveprosser7154]

Thanks for the help

[@elliecharlton68]

is a leader line absolutely necessary? Im a complete noob and watched another video and he just used the main line running down to a sinker, swivel and hook...? Thanks x

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for the comment , a leader is not essential if you are using thicker line straight through (from the rig to reel for example) I used to fish 25lb line , no leader but was only gently lobbing 1oz weights. Another way not to use a leader is with say 80lb breaking strain braid and 3 oz that I use a lot for general beach fishing. That said a leader is really important for any power cast or beginning with snappier casts. That weight can be be lethal. I use a 60lb tapered leader with 18lb main line. If I’m not using braid.

[@elliecharlton68]

@@SaltwaterAngler thank you x

[@DaveSmithFishing]

What is this knot called?

[@karlwooduk]

leader knot is like a half blood knott

[@ryotaarai3816]

being a complete noob, it might be more helpful if you put rough sketches of what the end product should look like from a distance for us to gauge the positions of the stuff , length, etc . it's hard to visualize what we're trying to achieve with everything just in close up. but thanks for the videos in any case. :)

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks, Most of our rig tying series feature a pull back view sometimes with a picture in picture but I'll make sure I do this with every rig from now on. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I’m on my 1000 plus fishing trip and still am on a run of blanks ! Par of the course I’m afraid. It will make the first fish seem even better if your initial trips are unsuccessful - you will catch well at some point please let us know how it’s going

[@davegriff1593]

Ha I've been fishing nigh on 40 years on and off and caught handful of times, it's not about the fish you know, ha ha blanked once. You got a few more dozen of them coming. Ha

Blood knot that knot that keeps on slipping

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Must pull tighter

[@aaron6841]

@@SaltwaterAngler I only use the uni knot it never ever has slipped it's impossible the rod will break before the uni knot slips it's only friction that holds the blood knot together

In 60 years of fishing I can’t ever remember one slipping!
