Basic Fishing Gear 4: baiting an Anchovy

[@robertg9095]

Thanks we were at Oakley/ Antioch and didnt know about this rig I noticed others using it but now i know 👍🏼

[@familyvondessauer]

This was a game changer after I learned this.

[@merccortez4902]

That’s crazy I was fishing there last night under the Antioch bridge and needed to look up how to set up a anchovy

[@briankerwin1947]

What kind of wire did you use to wrap the fish with? I didn’t notice you tying it off in any way

[@familyvondessauer]

It’s elastic wire, so when you wrap it, it tightens. You should be able to find it on Amazon searching for elastic fishing thread.

Thanks for the info not losing bait anymore and catching more fish i use to hate using anchovies

[@familyvondessauer]

That’s awesome! You’re welcome

[@michellevondessauer8450]

Awesome and informative videos!

[@familyvondessauer]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@scottbunning6737]

Michelle von Dessauer well your family tho so you don’t count lol 😂

[@familyvondessauer]

Thanks for the feedback. We’ll keep that in mind.

[@davidsanfilippo1803]

good video and thank you. Can you tell me what style and size of hook you used on that anchovy? Thanks.

[@familyvondessauer]

I think these were octopus hooks 1. But I’ve rigged this same way with other hooks. The magic in this is the presentation of the bait. That’s my theory at least.

[@Buddhafish]

What size hook do you recommend? Great video by the way!

[@familyvondessauer]

I honestly forget which size the hook was i that video.

[@blueswright217]

When you snap the wire off, how do you keep it from unraveling?

[@familyvondessauer]

The wire is elastic, so when it breaks the wrapped wire stays in place.

[@jnavo240oz]

That’s the magic in the magic string you don’t have to knot it... I personally would wrap a couple times on just the hook

[@SnapsVideo]

When im ready to tie, i insert index and middle fingers, wrap it around fingers and chovy twice, slip the roll under fingers inbetween anchovies, give it a nice snap. Or cut w scissors if u wanna be neat.

[@masfishing1]

Thx for the video! Im new to striper fishing. Is your hook rigging technique on this video for the anchovy ok to use for bank fishing on a lake?

[@familyvondessauer]

Should work great on a lake

[@shalvers]

wow this is awesome!

[@familyvondessauer]

Thanks!

[@scottbunning6737]

Like to give you some credit I’ve changed my anchovy rig and started using your guys method only difference I use two Hooks about 4 inches apart one by the head right below the Gil and other by the tail but I’m using your hooking tactic with a little magic thread world well I usually also run the hooks out the top instead of the bottom but that shouldn’t make much of a difference

[@familyvondessauer]

Glad to hear we could contribute to your tight lines. Your mods sound spot on. We posted this becuase we wish we had know this when we started and thought others could benefit.

[@unforsakenfoods]

What wire is that

[@familyvondessauer]

Elastic bait thread, like spiderwire

[@dfranco084]

What line are you using to wrap it?

[@joegooderz2735]

Elastic bait thread

[@lonecrow1470]

Love the vid, hate the music. It's so distracting 😭

[@familyvondessauer]

Thanks for the feedback. We’ll keep that in mind.

[@93647NSO14]

Bro u doing it wrong g

[@ia6980]

How do u do it?

[@93647NSO14]

@@ia6980 I take the head off n fold it in half the on to the hook shank, so the hook protrudes n tie it down so it looks like a samari fish pouch
