Scissors are part of the kit for cutting line, but I find a nail clipper as well, allows you to cut closer to the swivel or hook shank.

Well ... you're my favourite fishing show at the moment, you tell us how it is, you give us all the right tips, you tell us how deep your fishing, you tell us the baits the knots everything we need to know, just very honest, really impressed with you thank you very much for sharing your knowledge really appreciate it looking forward to see you next show, good Kudos to you. I thank you. rob

[@fishingmad]

Thank you so much for the kind words. A great deal of effort goes into the channel to ensure were passing on as many valuable tips as we can so I'm really glad your enjoying it and finding it helpful.

[@heathbonnici6972]

Thats a very detailed and helpful tutorial. Thank you FishingMad

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Heath, glad you found it helpful !!

[@Doodsy1975]

Brilliant mate. Taught me a thing or two. That uni knot I use for everything too, but until you showed me it to tie braid to nylon, I never thought to use it. Been struggling like a clown, trying to tie FG knots and Albright knots, and been terrible at tying them. Those hook keeper things are awesome. I gotta get me some of them. Just a great video mate, and once again, is another example of what sets your channel apart from the rest. Yours is the only channel I learn anything from.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Darren, that's a huge complement and greatly appreciated. I think this rig will serve us really well once we can get out of lockdown especially on those bigger models species that we are after. I tend to use the double uni a lot especially when on the water as I can tie it much faster than other knots and never lost a fish to a faulty double uni knot. Using this time to really nut out some requests from people on rigging and fishing techniques and updates on the website. Fingers crossed we are back at it soon !!

[@Doodsy1975]

@@fishingmad you're welcome mate. For all of our sanity, let's hope we can get out soon!

[@fishingmad]

i really hope so, chomping at the bit with plans for the channel and website and stuck not being able to do any of it for weeks and weeks at a time is so frustrating

[@Elchico290]

Love your patience and you videos!!! Hope to meet you in Sydney or around and go fishing with our fishpro

Love the vid Alan 👌🏼. I’ll be making a few of these to pass the time in lockdown 👍🏼

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Jared, glad to hear it. Yeah i had big plans this past week which have been put on hold so have been using the time to get my gear and rigs ready to go for once we are allowed back out.

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Yea same here

[@fishingmad]

Lets hope we can get out in less than a week even though its not looking to promising.

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Even if we do get out soon I have to stay in isolation cause a girl in my class at school tested positive, and then came to school. I’ve tested negative but still have to quarantine.

[@fishingmad]

Oh no, that's no good at all. Im really sorry to hear that. Wow you cant get much closer than that someone in your class room. All back to remote learning which is tough

[@noahlykopoulos]

Just bought my first pedal kayak Alen, keen to take it out to the local beaches in pc Altona. Hope to see u out there.

[@fishingmad]

Congrats Noah thats awesome. What kayak did you get ?? Hope to see ya out there once were out of lockdown

[@noahlykopoulos]

@@fishingmad bought it off the fb market place, I'm not sure what it is but the guy said he bought it from canoes plus.

[@andrewfallon8019]

Great thanks for all your smart advice my family and I caught 18 banjo sharks we will b eating so well thanks do you have any toad fish rigs

[@joelshibu1453]

Love you vids mate when whiting season comes around make a landbased whiting vid. Awesome job

[@fishingmad]

Thanks !! Yeah 100% hoping to do quite a bit of whiting stuff later on in the year. landbase whiting is a great idea. ill have to give some good thought to where to target them landbased

[@joelshibu1453]

@@fishingmad Mount marthat, St Leonards pier is some great options or sommers or balnarring beaching. Spot gutters and that should be good.

[@fishingmad]

Yep I agree great spots and will 100% give those a crack at some stage

[@mattt83]

Is the slider for letting more line through after the sinker hits the bottom? Would a paternoster rig with a long length on it work in a similar way?

[@jesseianuali6151]

is this good for surf fishing? will it tangle

[@tezzaskayakfishing]

Great video as always mate. When you synched the very first knot it sounded like you pulled to hard and broke some wind?🤣 3m40

[@fishingmad]

LOL, that's hilarious. I've watched that part over about 10 times and does sound like it LOL.

[@tezzaskayakfishing]

fishingmad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@zaydquarless1046]

Would love to see how you put the bait on your hook. How to avoid it from falling off when casting?

[@fishingmad]

Great question, ill show this next time om out on the water chasing gummies for ya

[@davecobra9850]

Great. Do one for whiting please

[@fishingmad]

Thanks David, I did one for whiting some time ago you can see that here kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6vHkK2chKaef68 cheers

[@MyTyeman]

What is the purpose of shock leader ?

[@tonga741]

Why would the shock leader be lighter then the leader

[@joelshibu1453]

can you use a snell knot instead of a uni knot to the hook?

[@fishingmad]

Yes you sure can use a snell knot for the hook.

[@tuberider1171]

how many pounds is the shock leader?

[@redfoxenthusiasts4636]

Are blood knots any good for this rig

[@fishingmad]

Yes blood knots are also fine

[@adamheazlett1179]

Sorry arms width

[@adamheazlett1179]

Roughly yourm s width is close to your height.You look a lot taller on camera

[@fishingmad]

My arms 90% stretched out is just over a meter, ive measured with a measuring tape for good measure LOL

[@Pointless-fishing-adventures]

Not to be rude but unless you are 1m tall a full arms stretch with both arms like that is way more than a metre.

[@matthewkardas1509]

Wanna come fishing

[@fishingmad]

Im always happy to go fishing and meet other keen anglers
