sliding snell rig - how to make a snapper rig & gummy shark rig

[@billzofficialmusic]

Been using this for 2 years . Been using it off the beach and it never lets me down . Great Work mate .

[@fishingmad]

Great to hear! Thats awesome

[@russellhansen4014]

Great Presentation for us Newbies learning how to set up rigs Rather than Spending $$$ Mate. Cheers Much Appreciated

[@fishingmad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shannontogo6538]

Hey Alan. An easier way to do this is by using a lumo bead. It's a bit tricky but what you do is slide the lumo bead with a bit of moisture down your line and over the eye of the hook ,once you get it over the eye of the hook and line it should be very tight,but you will be able to slide the hook up and down

For clippers, use those nail clippers, cheap and have both at home and in the tackelbox !

[@heathbonnici6972]

Amazing Vid. Thats so helpful, I will be creating many of these during the snap lockdown.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Heath, Im really glad you found it helpful. Lets hope we can get out of this lockdown ASAP

[@David-st8te]

Thanks Alan. 👍

[@fishingmad]

Very welcome

[@davobloke3967]

Great video Alan. Very clear and concise. I've been putting a heavier line out on the kayak while fishing for smaller species on the lighter rods but no good bites yet. Apart from the good old banjo sharks!

[@fishingmad]

Thanks !! Yeah the Banjos are everywhere at the moment. Last week we went out ang got 1 gummy for at least every 10 banjos and 5 stingrays

[@mikebrown5751]

Great Rig... where would you get the tubing?

[@GTOUTE]

Great video! Im having issues keeping the second snell *using the lighter piece of leader* catching snapper after a session out there or mid way thru i find that it comes loose an eventually just pull it off, im using 10lb sometimes 20lb on that snell any tips on how to keep it from coming loose.?

[@robiz72]

Great Video, thx. Where do you get the small red tubing?

[@fishingmad]

I got it from BCF im sure most tackle stores will have them

[@Lachy1117]

Hey Alan just wondering if the flurocarbon is a must or can I substitute for mono because have caught both snapper and gummies on mono

[@fishingmad]

Yep 100% you can use mono, I just find fluoro to be thinner and stronger.

[@robertharrowfield9268]

hi mate . another great vlog . im making up a rod just for snapper and can you give me info on size line and rod please ? keep up the good work ! look forward to the next one . Rob .

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Rob, For snapper 100% a 5-8 kilo rod around 7 foot 4 in length paired with a 4000-6000 size reel spooled with 30 lb braid is a killer setup. If your local let me know i have a few barely used snapper outfits for sale.

[@abi1816]

Pls sir wat is the diameter of the inside of the red tubing which u used for sliding hook rig pls Tnks Pompeii

[@keithscott9774]

Thanks very much for that. Would you recommend tying the sinker with a very short length of lesser breaking strain line in case the sinker gets snagged ?

[@fishingmad]

Hi Keith, that's a great pickup. I have been doing exactly that recently, especially when fishing for gummy sharks in high tidal areas. I generally use a 30cm length of 20lb leader of the ezi rig. I attach the clip to then end of that line so i can still change the sinker easily.

[@keithscott9774]

@@fishingmad Cheers, all I need is the boat now. Missed a couple of good buys, but hopefully 3rd time lucky.

[@fishingmad]

Yeah that would be awesome. With covid back in force there may be some bargains available soon. I think ill be looking to move mine soon and upgrade now that im targeting a lot more bigger fish.

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Awesome video Alan 👍🏼. Very detailed and easy to follow 👌🏼.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks !!! Hopefully a few out there find this helpful. It has worked a treat at Western port lately

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Sadly we won’t get to use it any time soon, cause of lockdown.

[@fishingmad]

I know, I had plans for tomorrow and Sat too. Thats gonna be 3 straight weeks of no fishing which isnt great when your running a fishing channel. Lets hope its only for a week this time.

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Yea exactly

[@Doodsy1975]

Great instructional video mate. Those rigs are brilliant. Can't go wrong with Jinkai and Black Magic leader.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Darren, Yeah i bought some 80lb black magic leader and size 7 gamakatsu hooks a few days ago, and will do a similar rig to this for gummy sharks once were allowed back out.

[@FatalityPcGaming]

Do you have a surf rod rig setup for port Melbourne you could recommend for targeting snapper? @fishingmad

[@fishingmad]

Hi Mark, I usually use a paternoster rig when fishing in the surf, it allows you to cast so much further as the sinker is at the bottom and you can easily adjust sinker types and sinker weight. I made a vid on DIY paternoster rigs here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGWUd5KansSSm5Y cheers

[@KieranShort]

Where do you get that red tubing from?

[@fishingmad]

I got it from BCF I think it was the Prymal version of this www.bcf.com.au/p/wilson-fish-attracta-beads/M109942.html?dwvar_M109942_color=Red&cgid=

[@alanharmsworth7638]

Tying stinger hooks to a main hook can be a messy business. This would appear to be the answer to tying a stinger to a worm.

[@ronmb81]

9:16 do you attach the easy rig slider to to braid mainline?

[@fishingmad]

Yep 100% to the braid mainline, not the leader. Hope that helps

[@ronmb81]

@@fishingmad thanks, for some reason I'd always thought the sliders would chafer and eventually snap the braid.

[@fishingmad]

Generally it works fine, I did have an occasion a few weeks ago I hooked a massive gummy and lost it due to the braid shredding. So when im targeting the big ones ill use a shock leader above the swivel to avoid this problem, but in most cases its OK

[@dragginmedown]

Whets your thoughts on the 2 hook rig but the top one is free running on line? I’ve used it a few times but I don’t reckon ive ever hooked a fish with the sliding hook. Only when snelled. My mate reckons he has but I reckon he’s full of shit haha

[@fishingmad]

One of my good mates uses the rig quite a lot during snapper season, where the top hook freely moves up and down. His done OK with it. I too would be worried about hooking a good fish and it placing a lot of weight onto the bottom hook. I've mainly used this sliding rig when using big baits with awkward sizes. The usual double snelled rig works great for pilchards and silver whiting and would still be my go to in many situations.

[@dragginmedown]

@@fishingmad yeah that’s it snells are quick to tie anyway

[@fishingmad]

yeah, 1--%. I started mucking around with the sliding snell only when using massive baits like mackarel, squid and salmon for big gummies. Otherwise standard double snell is the way to go, and so quick to do

[@dragginmedown]

@@fishingmad yeah there’s good. I’ve used em before
