Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats kzbin.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.

The leader has zero stretch to it kzbin.infoUgkxOnWw4BwVtrW450xWozo3OpVX4931NDw5 which is expected from a wire leader. Can’t test the quality of all the snaps yet but packaging was nice and neat and I couldn’t get anything to happen when I pulled on it.

thankx Jamies, my favourite way of fishing. old school! great video

[@northernlad52]

Proper fishing. great video yet again. Some really good tips for the angler just starting.

[@bigteno4597]

Thank you Jamie, I am learning so much from you. Just brilliant stuff!!

[@alanjones1771]

Good video Jamie some great tips on waggler fishing and how to feed as well keep up the good work and tight lines ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@peterthornton8520]

Another very graphic and factual video. I have not fished the waggler since 1995ish I have a Normark Titan 13ft which I have got out to start using again. Thanks Jamie for such a great demonstration. Keep them coming mate. By the way its nice to hear you praising the "off the wall Guy (Andy) for some of his tips". Cheers

What a great teacher this guy is

Great video. A good insight to fishing 🎣 competition 😊

Hi Jamie great info. on our lake we have good head of skimmers and bream.this time of year I use maggot feed.use punch bread on the hook and always seem to take the better fish on the drop up in the water Like dobbin on the waggled not conventional but it works.

[@marcelmartin2173]

Love it!

Brilliant....many thanks

[@stephenmonaghan5766]

Was on piper the other day at partridge only one using the waggler Vs 10 lads with poles. They all looked at me like I was some novice haha. Weren't laughing when I got my peg going and was banging out F1s and some decent carp. Got the old " What you using for bait maaate"

[@MrTim207]

I broke my old pole a few years ago, so I tend to fish waggler a lot now. I get the same looks from the pole anglers, it seems to be a bit of a lost art with many suffering from poleitis.

[@stephenmonaghan5766]

@@MrTim207 I know pole anglers who don't know to set up feed and fish the waggler. For me that's the basics

[@pleasantville4529]

@@stephenmonaghan5766 Waggler only matches should be a thing mate!! Ok,it's not suitable for many of the waters around nowadays but on the right venue it is such a nice way of fishing. I'm getting older and find it really difficult to hold a long pole all day so tend to use the waggler just for comfort.

[@stephenmonaghan5766]

@@pleasantville4529 cracking idea that I know in winter leagues they are used slot and I'd even settle for a pellet waggler only match. Mad cos was partridge and this guy was mugging and doing very well. He turned to me and said wouldn't have a clue to start with the waggler mate and he was complimentary.

[@Big_Boss92]

Lots of elitism in fishing, the fish don't give a shit what you use as long as it's presented nice ✌️

Great video Jamie 👍

[@raybailey7745]

Ever thought about striking sideways it is like pulling your line through a tube instead of upwards having the resistance of water on your line 🤗

[@markryan7824]

Great video j , 👏

[@samrackham4774]

My absolute favourite method of fishing is with an old school porcupine float 2 bb shot about 6inch from the hook with either maggot or bread flake it’s crude but it’s caught me some cracking tench / bream / carp over the years

[@oldbloke135]

It's funny that 3.5lb line is now regarded as a light main line. If we'd used anything over 1.7lb back in the 70s we'd think we were sea fishing! Of course our 1.7lb was probably the same diameter as today's 3.5lb pole lines!

[@Fruitbat-tb3lg]

Ain’t that the truth! I admit to stepping up when fishing the tidal Trent at times, but most of the times - fine lines and as small hooks as possible. I regularly fished with half pound bottom to size 26 (30 at times!) hooks. A size 16 hook was for them rare specimen days! Lol

[@garethwatkins6347]

great video now i know where ive berm going wrong - cheers

[@kevshouse2]

Superb video Jamie and a great tip on plumbing up 1st with a bigger float. What floats u using?

[@BattleScar09]

Jamie, boss video. I moved from Liverpool to Australia and I really miss a good day on the float in St Helens or around Wigan on the quarries silver and tench fishing. Australia tends to be all spinning and lure fishing in fresh water. They even catch and kill the carp, what a waste!

[@chrisdrawski626]

Hi John, i am also in Australia, there is a course fishing club in most states. If you do a Facebook search you should easily find them

[@ianwordsworth4684]

When plumbing swapping the floats over... surely that only works if the floats are the same length?

[@geoffreylloydhall3386]

Being a bit of a slow learner this bloke really has taught me much. for instance, how to fish with a feeder. My success rate has risen, thanks, Jamie.

[@scooterfishing9323]

Professional video

[@6bigears135]

Class

[@derekprescott9809]

Would that 13ft rod be ok casting 3-5g wagglers, normal wagglers and short stumpys to say 30m fishing shallow/on the drop with pellets for f1s and small stockies or would you use a beefed up version?

[@stephengeoghegan-doughty.5870]

Great job, thoroughly enjoyed and learnt something to.

[@GBJulesKing]

Can you do that anchoring trick by putting a slightly heavier shot on down at swim depth plus a bit & winding tight against that?

[@mackenzilewis]

good video

[@savmunago8007]

Jamie, do you always use a line clip when waggler fishing ?

[@alanmarriott9216]

Great video! Can I ask question regarding waggler. Can you fish waggler with pellet band and 6mm pellet and also can you fish waggler with luncheon meat directly on hook? Ideally for carp and F1s. I know probably pole be better method and pellet waggler also but my son who’s 12 has just started so we’ve not got pole and someone has told us pellet waggler no good at this time of the year! Any help much appreciated please! 🙏

[@innocentmilkman9002]

do you just use some tipex to mark the length on the rod? Does it rub off ok?

[@benjamingummerson6746]

Just a tip. If you’ve already Plummed the pole but the wind gets up, you can just use that instead of plumbing twice

[@slavaslava5230]

What is the maximum casting distance for waggler fishing?Pls advice from your own long distance angling experience. P. S. I am gonna feeding with spomb, cobra or other carp fishing tackles)). For fish bite- binocular fishing glasses. 20 gramms cralusso rocket float and 17 ft rod with 10-35 grams test.

[@felgate11]

Don't forget to drop a few maggots "Down the Edge" & give that a bit of a go with the same gear, now & then!! Nice to try during a Coffee break.

[@stewartmercer19]

I'd like to know as how you can put 5 x number 10 down the line... I can barely put a 1 x number 8 on it and that is using the same 3lb line .. I've 5 pairs of glasses... do I need a sixth? crikey... Top bollocks tips again. Love it. And nice to see you not using the pole.

[@naychiv9325]

What's a good float for fishing in fast to moderately fast moving water, such as a stream?

[@michaelbrennan1751]

Great video, as you say there's no more enjoyable way to fish. I've been using size 18 hooks mostly so I'll give 16s a go, cheers! Is there any chance of a video on putting line on a reel and also knots?

[@bertyaustin]

I love waggler fishing, or any float fishing really, but in still water. No rivers. And I tend to use much bigger hooks, sometimes people say "you shouldn't be using size 6 on a float" "you won't catch anything" , well I actually do catch. My best is 39 LBS Carp , 11 LBs tench on a waggler.

[@swifty484]

Hi jamie how did you swap between the super boyant waggler when plumbing up to the one you was fishing with? Do you use a snaplink swivel or just put the heavier float in the 1.5g base of the other float?cheers

[@ifishmatrix]

Both floats use the same weight system. You can use a rubber waggler adapter if your floats are different.

[@robshaw3655]

nice bait boat......

[@stevenjones2852]

Jamie. Regarding the plumbing with a more buoyant float mate, without sounding a bit stupid, it would have to be the same length as the finer one you would use to fish with.? Is this correct? Cheers

[@Northstar-Media]

Good point, but I think float length would make very little difference. .but I could be wrong 👍

[@MrEREDIT]

What waggler was Jamie using in this? love the banded tip you can see everything that's going on in the peg!

[@floydgilmour3994]

Drennan Visi wag

[@bunnyblatter1]

Would u consider using sticky mag to be more accurate at range Jamie ?

[@ifishmatrix]

The problem would be that it would go down to the bottom in a ball so you would be missing out on all the fish on the drop.

[@theflossingfisherman7925]

The two floats would have to be the same size

[@Loyalist-ul6qm]

Waggler fishing is king there's not a fish that can't be caught on the waggler.

[@Northstar-Media]

O.12 line is too fine, especially on the strike when you could get run from a carp . Maxima 0:17 4Ib line is perfect to cushion those runs on the strike & more versatile to use for other methods.

[@madeinbanat3534]

Master the waggler???!!!! Ooooh madam !!!! ;) joking, great vid mate

[@danad1798]

But whot to do if deep is about 5m.?

[@federicopoggioli5609]

What type rod

[@lionheart9692]

I'm learning to fish pal' what are them weights called that you put each side of the float please.

[@Northstar-Media]

Preston stotz or waggler adapters Does no one respond to comments on this channel?

[@hvper9480]

could a 10ft float rod work because i have no other rod

[@RIISA_]

M8 I started fishing with a 3m whip you should too. You can learn so much with whips then do the match. Learn float and you can fish anything else like: feeder. Good luck. (you can fish bit its not as efficient as match rod but it could catch you sum fish.)
