Paternoster Rig Setup - Simple DIY fishing rig tutorial

[@toddpegrum8855]

Loved this video. As an older guy with limited knot tying ability it was very clear and concise, keep up the great work...

[@fishingmad]

Awesome, thank you Todd!!

[@TheNewcastleluke]

Thanks for this vid. Made it quite simple to tie and love how easy it is to change hooks and sinkers as needed. Cheers.

[@fishingmad]

Glad it helped

[@jaytango3594]

Perfect demonstration. Knots tied from the correct perspective - what you see on the video is what you see when you do it yourself. Thanks!

[@fishingmad]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jaytango3594]

@@fishingmad I have just been tying this rig in 10lb mono and I am finding that the line is snapping at the dropper loops with minimal tension. Is this a rig that should only be used with a heavier leader such as 20lb fluorocarbon?

[@mattJthompson35]

Alan another great video. I tried earlier making this rig and screwed it up a few times so stepped away for a few hours since I was frustrated haha. Now I've made 6 exactly right and don't need to watch this video now. Thanks mate.

[@fishingmad]

That's brilliant, well done. Yeah will always take a few times to master. Gee I remember me trying to learn the FG knot I wreckon that took more then a few times LOL

[@PaulKing1970]

Watched a few of your videos thank you. I set up this rig today and after several hours only caught two fish at jacobs well qld. Had worm and prawn on the hooks. Got fed up and thought I'll just throw one more in the drink and drift while I gut the whiting I caught. Cast it in put the rod down and turned to the whiting. All of a sudden this noise of commotion I turned back around and my rod was taken! So there is a big fish swimming around jacobs well still attached to my rod lol!

[@Doodsy1975]

one thing about your show mate. Yes, you can go catch big snapper, which makes great viewing for us all, but you never forget about the basics. Great video mate.

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Darren, A huge focus on the channel and website is getting a good balance of fishing adventures and fishing tips. Keeping the content fresh, whilst being entertaining and helpful. Allowing us to make content relevant to people at all different abilities and different interests within fishing. Slowly i think were getting that balance right.

hi Alan wow wow weeee now that was absolute top class,,,very well explained most of the videos they do it to fast and you can't follow now ive just picked it up thank you ,,,sir,,,,

[@fishingmad]

Glad you enjoyed it Peter, Many thanks for the positive feedback. Hoping to get a few more of these type of vids out soon

[@Piratepeteoo]

yep that would be good i cant wait

[@jaredbuttigieg]

Awesome video Alan 👍🏼. I’ll be making a few of them tonight 👌🏼

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Jared. Yeah these are really good. I use em all the time in PPB and smaller hook versions when freshwater fishing for reddies.

[@scottwilliams3266]

great tutorials. Thanks for the lesson.🎣

[@fishingmad]

No problems 👍 Glad it was helpful

[@jackboost9810]

Love ya Alan and def love to go fishing with you one day even more. Livin' and fishin' around Melbs.

[@matthewparker4101]

thanks Alan.

[@fishingmad]

No worries! hope it was helpful

[@frednurks8528]

Went to BCF and the cost of the dressed up hooks were dearer than buying ready made rigs. Still a good informative video. I always look forward to watching your productions.

[@fishingmad]

Hi Fred, I actually buy these hooks which I think is about $7 for 12 flasher hooks www.rigmastertackle.com.au/product/snapper-hairy-hooks/ I hope that helps

[@alanreynolds8843]

Love your work. Quick tip if you have difficulty getting your twisted dropper loop through eye of smaller hook . E.g. whiting, garfish hook .Loop a smaller diameter line through the dropper & use this line as a tow to pull dropper through eye of hook . Did you use "hairy hooks "

[@fishingmad]

Thanks Al, that's actually a brilliant idea with the smaller diameter leader through the dropper loop. Yes I can also confirm they are hairy back hooks. I usually buy the 12 packs of hooks in different colours which costs about $7 I think. Cheers

[@frednurks8528]

I do the same with feeding through tubing.

[@AhmedM35]

Once again, absolute top class!

[@fishingmad]

Thank you !!

[@chicomendez4680]

That's awesome and all but how do u attach this back to the mainline?

[@fishingmad]

Uni knot to swivel or you can just do a double uni to tie the rig to the main line.

[@ko0sa221]

Hello Allan . U have a twisted paternoster rig On your video thumbnail but your video is a representation of a standard double dropper loop ptnsta rig . U need to do a seperate video showing how to do the twisted ptnsta rig

[@SaMaNtHa.2023]

This is well explained rig of ever come across it owes you how long the leader needs to be it also has to tell you how far the hooks that come off need to be and that is what I am inquiring about do you have any more videos explaining that type of details. As I've seen a lot of people showing how to build a rig and all this but I this certain length and there has to be this length they just go his this and you eye bullet.

[@ChrisBrown-ku1ey]

Hi mate great rig Have you ever used this Set up in freshwater Rivers, lakes.reservoirs Cheers

[@fishingmad]

Hi Chris, yes 100% i use this rig in freshwater all the time. It works remarkably well on redfin, trout, yellow belly and cod. If I'm targeting trout and redfin ill generally drop the hook sizes to something smaller like a 6/0 bait keeper. But this rig works great targeting a whole different range of fish species. Thanks

[@GG-rj4oj]

Lockdown homework. Thanks

[@fishingmad]

Happy to help

[@33454262]

That was very informative. I've never thought of using a paternoster rig for flathead. How would you fish it? Drifting... would it work trolled? Love to hear a bit more. Thank you.

[@fishingmad]

Hi Warren, yeah we use this often for flathead either drifting or anchored up. I've never tried it trolling. This was one of our last sessions using it kzbin.info/www/bejne/anzKXmelZ9Ssiac which you can see is very effective. Cheers

[@33454262]

@@fishingmad Thanks I'll give that a try.

[@pk-sy3nd]

Nice video, what tipe of other fish you can get on this tipe of rig

[@fishingmad]

Just about everything. I use it for snapper, gummy sharks, salmon and more. I also use it for whiting but use much smaller hooks

[@pk-sy3nd]

@@fishingmad Thanks mate, I'll give it a try

[@fishingmad]

no worries

[@adamg2844]

Nice video mate....I tried to tie this but when I pull the ends of the line to tighten the knot my dropper loop slides. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

[@geoffwright7110]

Hi Alan, good instructional video. Do you think longer droppers work as effectively in victorian waters? Just inquiring for options to try. cheers

[@fishingmad]

Yeah I think longer droppers will be fine, just not to long. The longer the droppers the more prone to tangling I find they become.

[@ryandobermann6651]

Mate the end product looks different to ur tutorial. It's much longer , is that a twisted dropper ? Did u have a tutorial for that?

[@sladedavis9005]

Where you buy the flasher hooks

[@dragginmedown]

I just go with the over hand knot for the droppers. Landed an 8kg snapper with one of those knots. Too much stuffing around with the dropper loops your way i reckon. No dis, just what I think. Good video none the less mate

[@fishingmad]

Its a very good point, those droppers are really fiddley. Especially when your on a boat or kayak trying to tie them.

[@dechers77]

Great video, can we go fishing together on the Peninsula ???

[@Hahehhwgajshah72726..]

How long should the loops be?

[@Mickey_vee]

Are you a hand model?

[@fishingmad]

100% its what I do when I'm not fishing

[@Camivy89]

Hey Alan - thanks for all the great content! I was just watching a few of your rig vids - is there a difference between this paternoster and the one you made for whiting? This one seems a bit simpler to make ahead/ change hooks based on conditions but I don't wanna make the wrong one. Land fishing thought we might set up a rod for pinkies just in case we get lucky :) thanks!

[@fishingmad]

Your very welcome. You can certainly use this same rig for whiting and pinkies, I just go smaller on the hook sizes as whiting have small mouths, otherwise it works great. Probably also stronger than the other whiting rig as there isnt any real breaking points with this rig,

[@mattk9089]

One trick for putting the twists in the small circle you form is to use a match stick, put it through the circle and twist it around 4 times

[@fishingmad]

That's genius. I hadn't thought of that but will try that next time 100%. Thanks for the suggestion !!

[@affency]

Dinner!
