Have You Ever Seen A Rig Like This?

Well what a cold one that was! my head definitely wasn't working very well but at least I was out.
What are your thoughts on this kind backwards dropshot rig? seemed to work out exactly as intended for me.
I have some big news coming up as next year I'm planning some big changes. I will drip some stuff in as I go over the next month.
hope you enjoy 😇

Good to see you again James,

[@cheza7061]

Great video, with plenty of action. Nice perch & the odd pike. Always good to see your videos. I will definitely try your set up!!!! 😎🐟🎣

[@alanevans4232]

Ihave been using that rig for a while, for my LRF fishing. I use luminous float stops to hold the hook as I seem to get more bites that way.

[@spike2111982]

nice im new to perching so would be great if you could do a vid on tying that rig with what u use etc thanks

[@deanmeat3427]

I had bad anxiety when you were hurtling down that hill on your bike!! Subbed!

[@pawelr.6257]

Hello as a new subscriber to your channel. It's a really great idea. A universal set in one! What casting weight do you have on this rod? I have the same Tsurinoya 4-15g rod and it's great. Regards from Ireland.

[@pmay222]

nice bitta sport on a freezing cold day.. that perch was superb.... do you film with go-pro and a canon compact..? and how do you edit footage..? i am looking into starting vlogging but hear go-pro are temperamental...im leaning towards sub£100 action cam with all the attatchments included.. thanks

[@ryanlotgd]

perch love locks always worth a try if ur passing one had my biggest on a live bait just outside the bottom gate of a lock next to the overflow outlet just under 4ib about 20 years ago now had 3 that day all over 3ib + loads around 2ib on livebaits and worm baits ( was trying for a pike with the live baits as a fair few carp id caught had big pike marks on them was determind to find the culprit never did find the monster pike lol )

[@CrimeVid]

What’s that bait supposed to be ? a deflated sea slug ?. joking aside, Perch were always one of my favourite fish to catch when I was young when there were a lot more around.

[@fridaynightfishfights6661]

Huge perch... They don't get that large in Ontario. That wind must be hard to fish in. I've been there too

[@raymondsweeney5410]

Good angling bro, what brand is the suit you wearing ? looks simlar to the fox camo pattern ;

[@janetverity9382]

Have you ever thought about using a landing net ? Even a small net better then no net You would be kicked off my local waters can tell your not a club or match angler

Stacked n racked....finding those pockets.,.great weather to get out. n.. breathe..nice fishin....

[@andysingletonefc]

It’s a helicopter rig.Used this for carp fishing years ago !

[@sparky36199]

Excellent video. I have been using this rig for a few weeks now with good results. I use the spro freestyle twitch weight stops as they are really tight fit on your line and hold the hook in position even on the strike. Most of the time. I like the 1 setup on the rod but different presentation of baits. I think that's why it's so successful for me. Keep safe around the ice and tight lines.

[@christaylor9767]

Nice pike Have Merry Christmas From Georgia Cuz

[@paulharris6886]

Absolute genius James! Was the best perching channel and still is IMO 👍

[@TheFilet13]

That's a very clever rig. 👏 great action and really smart. Nice one 👍

[@dafyddhumphreys3021]

Lovely video and that rig is very clever, what stops are you using, I want to give this a go ASAP!

[@richardbarrett4104]

Sorry, is that a floating worm please?

[@razvanburada1648]

Thank God Jesus, he’s back ❤❤❤😅

[@michaelwatson7186]

How is the weight attached to the line m8

[@robertanderson1272]

jolly good catch there old boy

[@mattgoodchild8215]

Hello James I've only recently discovered your channel and loving the content and yes I have discovered that rig I thought it was just my secret haha I fish canals mainly so my rig is a lot lighter than yours I use 7 lb fluro and tiny hooks sizes 10 and 12 usually use tiny 2 inch shads light green or bright pink and some naturals and catch mainly small perch and zander and it's surprising how I can even land pike around 4 lb as like u say under pressure the float stops slide down to keep the fluro away from the pikes teeth never lost a fish yet ......Thanks for your vids I shall be watching from now on

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

Good idea . Opening up dropshoting for pike in winter deep cold water . cool

[@simonmoorcroft1417]

Heli-tex rig? 😀

[@mikeoutdoors22]

I'm going to try that rig, good video buddy and I loved the bike ride at the start 🚲I'm going to try that soon to 😂

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

Half a mill subs!!! Last time I watched you had 30k…so impressed mate! And still such quality 👍

[@richardbarrett4104]

Question please buddy? Is that rig set with the hook at the bottom, or at the depth you think the fish are feeding. I understand it does slide when a fish takes, it's brilliant, I get that 100%. But where do you set the hook mostly please?

[@matthewkay1992]

The best

[@davidmoore928]

I came up with the same idea a couple of years ago and agree that the addition of the rubbery stoppy things either side of the hook makes the basic drop shot rig much more versatile. I've found that you can use thin wire instead of fluorocarbon in case there are pike about. If you want to see more ideas have a look at Japanese angler Waki's website kzbin.info/door/-95cQmbpGLv-OWvqkzFTiw. where he demonstrates Japanese lure tactics - some of which can be adapted for use in the UK. Hope you've thawed out by now.

[@mcfluffchucker]

Brilliant to see you back , enjoyed that video looked bloody cold 🥶

[@christaylor9767]

Nice Perch

[@gezgriffiths3793]

That looks like a really useful rig that. Love the videos matey. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@leeh78]

I do the same for drop shotting but have swivel below the hook and float stops, its safer, if you snap and the weight gets snagged they can get rid of it all, with the swivel above they have to tow it all round. But the way you attach the hook is the same.

[@bikerslovecurvessr9609]

Thanks for the vid very interesting deffo gonna give that rig a go. Keep em coming and where’s your stuff gonna be advertised if you don’t mind me asking

[@cheshiresmileclinic]

Hey thanks for showing your rigs and technicals. Anything to increase my angling IQ! All the best.

[@davidsmith4544]

Hard-core perching , nice to see some perch coming out James. Not tried that rig, I'll have to give it a go, looks promising. All the best buddy and keep the videos coming 👍 👌

[@bickleysanglingadventures5866]

Love how your enthusiasm comes across in your videos, have a good Christmas

[@leoisso7033]

been doing this kind of drop-shot rig for years because ive been too lazy to look for a knot, works even better with small crabs i found

[@BaldysBar]

Fantastic video again. Glad to see you back!!

[@stanwilson8089]

Great idea,I'll be giving it a try.Handy for fishing over silt of weeds.

[@ronjohnson7479]

james i love this rig ,could you tell me how you tie the weight on and what size stops you are using???

[@chriswarby1001]

The bead stops either side of the hook for drop shot is genius fully adjustable and ii guess you don't have to lose your leader brilliant

[@dominicburton950]

Good sport in what's been a challenging week weather wise good to see you out on the bank catching a few 😉👍

[@markevansangling]

Nice bike mate, you ever hit parks like Forest of Dean?

[@AlexSmith-dz5gg]

Man the bike looks sweet, kitted with fox and hope??

[@davehugill8565]

Enjoyed that, i will be trying that rig out in the near future.👌

[@cullenbigd]

Do anglers in the UK regularly keep perch to eat? It's a big fish in the US to catch and keep and eat. Our limits in NY are 50 per person per day and it's not hard to catch and keep those numbers. The population is very healthy in our lakes even with those numbers. I don't know anyone who purposely catches and releases yellow perch here. Just curious about European practices. Thanks

[@MrMessiah44]

Freshwater fish is not eaten in UK apart from trout and salmon but in other parts of Europe perch is considered a delicacy.

[@niallruston9434]

I have eaten Perch in the UK that I have caught and it's delicious. It's not common here now but in the past most coarse fish were eaten. UK law allows coarse fish to be taken and an amount per day from Rivers that are effectively public (so not owned by an angling club) but nobody does and if they do it tends to be Europeans living in the Uk that still do commonly eat coarse fish. Hope this helps.
