NEW No-Tangle Rig! (Improved T-Knot Rig Tutorial)

[@garypalmer1883]

Just found your channel today, this is a great idea but here in New Zealand they get a bit fussy about throwing plastic stuff in the sea. Instead I used a bamboo skewer. I wound the first knot as you do but wound it around the skewer as well, including the skewer in the knot. Then i did the T knot as per your demo but just started with a larger loop to allow the skewer through. The T knot then comes tight against the skewer. Then did a uni knot to hold the outer part of the loop to the skewer. Worked a treat :)

[@rf5381]

I've been using a variation of your t knot that your dad showed us since I started fishing a couple years now. I've caught hundreds of fish with it. Thanks Bro! Tell your Dad I said thanks too!

[@HeySkipper]

As an angler we hold a huge responsibility of having mindfulness with every cast. There are aspects of fishing that are not great for the environment such as soft plastic lures, fishing line, styrofoam floats, plastic beads fishing nets and more. That being said, fishing as a way of feeding ourselves is essential for many people. Fishing brings so much positivity and joy to families and us fellow anglers around the world however, as responsible anglers we must fish and practice moderation with the tackle we use.

[@kirkpalermo9011]

Hey Skipper, when you see someone pull a straw out of a sea turtles nose maybe putting more plastic in the ocean is not a good idea. I really like all your other videos, keep up the good advise. but please do a retraction of this video for the sake of ocean life. Lot of us just watch the videos and don't read the comments, this video is telling people to put straws in the ocean. By the way, I love your NO MORE TANGLED RIGS WITH THIS KNOT! T-knot video!!

[@sigspearthumb1056]

Little late to the comment list but what power are your fishing rods that you are useing in the video. Medium, Medium Heavy or just Heavy ?

[@AnthonyFongFishing]

I remember in Brendan and Erin’s fishing course a few months ago on the live we talked about maybe doing another T knot video because I couldn’t figure out how to tie it at all! And it’s finally here! Thanks so much!

[@acevanheart6276]

Thank you guys for this innovative rig., As I tried to make it., I used a cleared straw on the t-knot.. because I have no beads on my arsenal., I used a glue gun to seal the straw holes with the line inserted on it., Turns out, when the rig is lying underneath the water the straw floats lifting the bait undercurrent.. and it never failed me to catch a fish.. thanks a lot..

[@marciopinheiromendes6716]

Thats a nice one. I have tried something like that with a 3 way swivel like someone suggested but it still gets tangled often. Gonna give this a try, might even go for a colorless straw. Keep up the good work, regards from Brazil 🐟

[@tonyhernandez4185]

Thanks for touching on how long you change your baits. I'm new to surf fishing,l. I didn't know how frequently you should check on your baits.

[@dennistani1986]

Brandon, we love your beach fishing videos......and Erin, GREAT WORK!!

[@MBwelding]

Love your dad he’s a fishing master it would be awesome to spend time on the beach with him learning to fish better

[@arejaye]

True. He's probably forgotten more about fishing than most of the people in this chat know right now combined. If I had the chance to fish with him, I'd have somebody filming every second of everything he taught me, so I'd always have it, and be able to pass it on. Sad that so much of the knowledge that people like him have gets looked over, but good that at least SOME, like Brandon, are keeping the knowledge going, and teaching US. Paying it forward.

[@felixmontoya4161]

For surfcasting you might want to try the long casting version of the spinning reels, or a conventional one.. best regards from Tijuana MX..

[@billkennedy401]

Looks fine - if you're fishing the coast. Probably not optimal in really clear water like the Gulf

[@lucpeeters2650]

It is also possible to use the plastic tubes from ear cleaners. They are thinner and stiffer. Or ,as we use in Europe, the inox outriggers . They are the best but sometimes it scare the fish... thats fishing I think ??

[@owengambo4819]

This is great even with the t knot ive had trouble with my hooks getting caught. Awesome idea!

This will definitely hold them out. Let me know if you try it out and thanks for watching 👍🏼

Could you try making/using a pulley pennel rig, really easy to tie and really good to get a far cast, but he rig you are using in this video is also called a paternoster rig we use it a lot in the uk

Thanks for watching my friend let us know if you give it a try!

[@erbel47]

I have seen this rig with metal arms/extenders. I caught my fair share of fish with it however others seem to dislike this rig because it is too visible. Maybe this version could be more subtle for line shy fishes.

[@erbel47]

In store they call it a pickerel rig.

[@HeySkipper]

I hear ya about the metal arms, but I think you’re right about this being a less visible alternative!

[@erbel47]

@@HeySkipper I would be curious to see the straws on a high low rig but tied with dropper loops. Probably as effective but simpler to tie?

[@frizellculley1238]

Your can also use plastic Q-tips tubes. But this rig is good for bottom fishing.

[@The_Judge300]

I have used the exact same knot and rig for many years. The only difference is that I use a crimp to hold the straw/bead in place. I also prefer to use a longer straw compared to the line length from bead to hook than you do. I do that to reduce the risk of getting the hook/s tangled up with the main line. Sometimes my straw has twice the length of the line between bead and hook. I specially do that when I fish deep from a boat. If you are worried about sharp toothed fish, you can use a steel wire leader with this rig, but if you do, you really must make sure to use a rather long straw.

[@gabisalloum6122]

Hi Skipper Can you pleasse provide a draft mention the measurements from the top to end of the rig will be appreciated.

[@louishernandez1505]

Hey skipper I sent you a message but I was wanting to know if you still order from wish and do you still receive items from there, cause there's a few things I like to try out but don't know if we get things to the us from wish ..pleas let me know ..Great job and thanks I gotten my order for the clam bits and new blue box...now I have the orange for the shrimp and squid and blue box for the clam bits and any extra baits I catch to use for later ..

[@forreelzfishing]

[@Cwnidog]

You mention that the no-tangle rig is more visible than the plain ol' T-knot rig. I think this could be reduced by using a clear straw as a hold-off rather than a black one. But on the whole, a great idea.

[@genedavis759]

Have you yried a small float at top of rig to keep hooks above crab and rig more taught in surf ?

Hi, what's your favorite rig for porgy/seabass fishing from a boat? Also for stripers

[@dollranch2743]

Never using a T-knot rig again, lost a monster blue cat when using the rig for the first time recently! It broke off at the knot, 30lb fluorocarbon broke like cotton thread with that confounded knot!

[@HeySkipper]

Don’t blame the knot man line weakens and fails all the time

[@Quagula]

Nah bro you tied it wrong. Ive had the leader connection break long before the actual t knot. Lubricate your knots as you tie.

[@dollranch2743]

Fresh floro & wet knots used, the design of the knot causes a cinch and drastically reduces the lb. test of the line it is tied with. Probably not as significant for Braid due to the compression not being a factor on braided line. If you are casting fluorocarbon and fishing for big fish use a different knot!

I agree. I can tie knots just fine, but usually by accident, or a knot that just went South on me and morphed into something completely different that would take a whole crew a day to UNtie! lol Great vid, and I freakin' LOVE the idea with the straw. Why? Because it makes perfect sense and it's simple in design. Brandon, my hat's off to your Dad, who's obviously a really smart guy! Us "older" guys can still pull a rabbit out of the hat once in a while, from years of experience, necessity, and sometimes just boredom, but hey...if it works! lol Just respect your elders, help from polluting our waters more, show our neighbors more respect, and everybody keep tight lines!!
