Make your own enhanced Mackerel feathers

[@fishingnorfolk]

Great video mate. Always wondered how to do the knot properly. I made a few rigs last year. They have held but the whipping slips, and spins.

[@mug2y]

It's good that you used black line so we can actually see how to tie the knots, so many tutorials have been ruined because you can't see the line.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good point

[@kerryfoster1]

Good video. Never knew how that whipping was done before! ☺

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Cheers Kerry, if I remember I did have to look that up for this video to be sure ! There’s something to be said for catching on your own creations.

[@karlstokes874]

Loving the use of the mackerel to obscure brand name of the nail varnish! Great video chap!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Ha haaa thanks.

[@johnmichael1220]

Great video mate. Can I ask if you don't mind. Why a knot less knot wouldn't work with these please .

[@SaltwaterAngler]

You could of course but I prefer the speed of a normal uni type knot I recon the line I use is thinner too and those knotless knots suit heavier line -thanks good question

[@lesedwards936]

I use 2-0 o,shaunasy hooks with a nickel finish to add a bit of sparkle to make them and have caught mackerel on them bare

[@SaltwaterAngler]

+Les Edwards yea thats a good point these are the traditional and most used hook pattern with , as you say the added advantage of them flashing enough to catch in their own. I did find though that the wider wire on them can lead to some lost fish . Thanks for the heads up ill give them a good test in summer counting the days ...... Thanks for the comment Les

Crunchy wrappers are a cheap alternative to the mylar, good video 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Great tip

[@trentsteele1986]

fishing off sea with sand on the bottom do use a float or just let them sink

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Either can work , generally most effective is pull and drop , retrieve and drop

[@manfreddelacasse853]

Well, after your 13 turns there is nothing left of your orange colour! So, what is that painting for?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

It’s to stop the Mylar tubing coming apart

[@SkrrtFishing]

This is awesome!

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi the only criticism is most anglers will be casting these and I think 50lb line is safer cos’ the last thing you want is a crack off with three or more hooks flying around! Tight Lines

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Easy Fishing great point.Thanks for your input i must admit i dont cast for mackerel with more that 3oz. Main line should maybe be 60lb then but snoods can be 40lb.

[@billyefc4339]

I’d like to think the trace body would be built using 50lb-60lb mono, but a fair point.

[@dickiamkimgonzales4235]

Sir can I buy your product for sale? U can sale I can buy 50 pcs/ LBC or

[@SaltwaterAngler]

No not for this one ! it would put my wages on about 10p per hour ! Thanks but this is for the fun of making them

[@rickt4355]

What size is the mylar tubing

[@davedodds5627]

Why don't you use a knotless knot
