Making a Coffee Packet Mackerel Feather Rig

[@bobmorr2892]

All I can say is another wow. Amazing video, thank you.

[@chitoquemada137]

Wow... Nice to see someone that makes a lure and then test it...

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

I am not sure how it would be possible to make this video any better. You know how to make a mackerel rig, but you also know how to make a first class video. Thanks for making and sharing.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Robb's Homemade Life thanks

[@coolairaz]

Maybe use a dark cloth as background to see the tying and line better.

[@gaijillahimself908]

I was thinking the same. Quality content.

[@aandamar89]

TRUE!!!

[@RGutz81]

i love all your videos, they are so informative, clear and simple to understand. i enjoy the fact that you use the rigs uve made to show how u make use of them and how they work effectively. thanks so much for doing these videos.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

RGutz81 That is how i started making things and then going fishing, not much has changed really, thanks

[@jsf4star891]

Paul, I have watched this over and over, and I still wish that I could be so fortunate to fish in a beautiful setting as Scotland. I have to agree with your sentiment about just being there is good enough.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Sadly i no longer live there and this was just a holiday to see friends who do, the whistle at the end was from a fishing buddy and hopefully we will be going back this summer for a bit of whistling and a bit of fishing. Thanks

[@throughthedoor]

the quality, them angles, that narration. perfect, just perfect. thank you!

[@notfunnyusername4669]

This the coolest fishing videos I've seen.

[@chengs1965]

Your video is the best. I followed them and made several variants of sabiki rigs before I went to Maine, USA for a two weeks vacation. All of them worked just great. Caught a lot of mackerels and pollocks. Thank you for the wonderful videos.

[@philipvanvaerenbergh5062]

This is brilliant. I've made your other mackerel rigs, with great success, catching spanish mackerel. And with as much coffee as I drink, this is a logical next step. Thanks so much for this!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

***** I used to fish with a guy who ran on triple espressos, sometimes it was a little like talking to an over-revving outboard engine but he was from Brazil and knew how to catch fish. Thanks and Good Luck

[@jagdishkrishnamurthy4867]

These are well made and look fish enticing. I have checked their movements in low clear water and am anxious to try them in the lake.

[@Robguy75]

I’ve made many of these mackerel rigs and they work like a charm, thanks for showing me how!

[@Е.Пишпекский-г8ы]

Yeha! Nice job with "nothing" but calm and simple way, i like this in your video! I don't have maquerel into my lake, but i can try this for pearch f

[@Ron-pi3my]

Excellent! Well presented, showing that they work as well!

[@bartekdyszkiewicz1359]

I’ve made multiple sets and am really enjoying making them. Plan on giving some way to friends and have already caught some sea trout on them. Great idea and superb narration and editing.

[@Bobb1julie]

Excellent tutorial Paul ..Makes me hungry.You are an accomplished Artist and your photography is second to none..TU

[@MrGILBERTV]

What's great is that the coffee packaging is "pre-scented". I find a bag of Starbucks grounds, which I received as a gift and I'll never drink, makes for great scent and worm food w a garlic clove or two. Great video as always! You have that creative Detroit spirit across the pond. Cheers!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Thanks, we still have a car plant but lots of empty streets. The coffee scent has almost got rid of the fish smell from my bag.

[@pakde8002]

One of my favorite episodes. I've made many variations of mackerel rigs over the last couple of years. One of my favorite materials is the bag from Doritos chips which are very shiny and durable not to mention the chips are a nice bonus.

[@seanmooney3907]

Oh man, I could almost taste those mackerel. My mom (passed now) and I were the only ones in the family that loved mackerel on the barbecue in summer and in a bake in winter. Thanks for the memories. All the best to you. Scenery was beautiful as well. Sean

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Sean Mooney it is a very special place, might have to revisit it thanks and thanks for sharing your story

[@rw6512]

Thank you for this video, with instructions on how to tie each lure to the main line. Your instructions are clear, simple and easy to follow. Your videos are good quality and the angles are superb. I also make my own mackerel/bluefish and sabiki rigs. This video is very helpful. You are creative and amazing. I love all your videos. Can you possibly do more videos of you ocean fishing? We enjoy watching you catch fish. Spouse and some family are from Ireland and Scotland. We are planning 2-week vacation to Ireland/Scotland next year and hope to do some fishing. Hope to use some of your handmade rigs.

[@alejandropuntillo3079]

Am from argentina and I made one of this for sardines, and works very well!!! , nice video!!! congrats!

[@allanhvid2292]

Kinda cool with that mackerel image in the coffe...i like that,and great video aswell.Now i also have coffe mackerel rigs thanks to you Handmade Fisherman 👍😊

[@lucywaked3103]

Bravo!!!...and thank you for sharing of your goodness.

[@mikederrick2777]

As always top notch video. Thank you for all your helpful and inspiring videos. I liked the touch with the fish in the coffee froth.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Mike Derrick I wondered if anybody would spot the fish, thanks

[@ct026]

What a fantastic tip. I'm just getting back into fishing after an almost 30yr break! Will be having a go at making this rig very soon. Many thanks.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Karlos Fandango I see you have finally come to your senses after 30yrs, welcome back and don't let it happen again. oh and thanks

[@61diemai]

Always a pleasure watching your videos , Paul , ...never knew that method how to tie a sidearm knot , ........also a great sight to see each hook of your rig engaged with mackerel , ........cheers , Dieter

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

I watched this shoal of mackerel move up chasing little whitebait, i think they hit the rig just after it hit the water. Cheers Dieter

[@dlha3116]

hello paul, I congratulate you on your video taught me a lot to prepare my sabikis better. greetings from Venezuela

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Luis Alvarez greetings and thanks

[@teddekker3383]

Oh so lovely !! Like others have said, a great video instruction !! Loved the music as you fished your rigs

[@garlicandchilipreppers8533]

Very nice video, explained very well and a delight to watch. I've made several sets now as fish in Norway, to loose tackle can get very expensive and almost inevitable here, for something like this about 3 pounds a pop and made in China. I caught loads of fish with them, pollock, mackerel, colefish and I even had a codling and pollock together once.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

+Scott tork I started making them because i used to lose the far eastern made ones in the reefs and kelp, and i figured that someone else was sitting down and tying them so why couldn't it be me. I think one of my best days was showing somebody on the beach how to make them and then the pair of us catching fish. Thanks

[@tomTom-xg1it]

Great video that’s my lockdown afternoon sorted financially this doesn’t make sense but the satisfaction of nailing fish on homemade lures is sheer joy

[@periklisphoenix6521]

so nice to watch , great job you make

[@Ramy_Ramz]

What a well presented video reminded of an intricate BBC documentary

[@ratdog3055]

Nicely done. Sometimes the simplest things are the most productive. I fish freshwater so may tie some singles up and use them for fly fishing.

[@saskaleb]

Hi Paul, I made it and use it as a teaser with my casting jig using your same tip to connect it to the leader, miracles are hapening, thanks for the great video and tips.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

saskaleb great to hear, thanks

[@saskaleb]

***** juste a small remark Paul if i may, I noticed that you changed the knot you are using to tie the feather to the hook (comparing to earlier similar rigs in 2012 and 2013) , is there any particular reason? thanks

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

This is the knot i actually started out tying when i began making feather traces, it works and it it quick but it is not as strong as the knot i developed later which is in most of the videos. It only really works well with simple attachments and very few turns round the hook so it is not something i would use for everything but in this situation i am happy with it. Thanks for spotting and asking

[@saskaleb]

***** thank you for the knowledge generously shared (y)

[@andrewleigh3]

Great product, great video.

[@howardwhitehead5927]

Made a couple of sets of these with size 4 hooks, and had a double hookup of little pollack on my very first cast into lock Creran! Great for pollack and mackerel, great vid, thanks for sharing, I'll never buy another set of lures again!

[@Youriqo]

Awesome, and that collection of hooks, lines - amazing

[@user-jr9te4jc3q]

So simple and yet so efficient! I'll be trying this next weekend!

[@oze147]

The handmade fisherman at his best! Well done Paul!!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

***** Thanks i have got to say it was hard film when i just wanted to fish and enjoy the landscape

[@mariomendez2880]

Excellent! works without any problem!

[@rohzpopper4922]

Simple, nice and it work. A McGyver Fisherman 👍👍👍

[@lm2193]

how i miss fishing in the sea. great video.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

+Mike l so do I

[@Charsept]

Hey it's like a big sabiki. I love those things. They tear it up in Florida. All the bait fish you could want.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Charsept I suppose they are big sabikis really, thanks

[@claudiodariocamacho9446]

Very very good. Thanks I'am from Argentina

[@scottwatson8556]

Just learning how to spin never fished before and these bids are amazing really helpful

[@meharzain2788]

This is working??

[@Ocdoutdoors]

cheers from the coast of Maine.. saving your video to tie some up before the season gets going. thx !

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

+Chris Colburn Roll on summer, i am already planning my summer feather fishing trip, I have just got to get it past my wife, wish me luck, thanks

[@garik9066]

очень душевно! есть конечно куча китайских поделок, но своими прямыми руками и такой клёв! супер.

[@MoAwkati]

I am really enjoying watching your videos, many thanks Paul

[@peterminutti7637]

Helllo from México...thank you for sharing it.. Now I made my own sabikis... thanks. Peter

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

+Peter Minutti good luck and thanks

[@sufferedenuf]

Excellent ! I plan to try this type of lure on bass and pike.

[@Mrtomgoose]

Thank you, excellent very clear instructions.

[@TeamHardLife]

Always got to have a way to start the day brainstorming...

[@ecaribe2000]

Wow! that's amazing. I will try to make some myself. Thank you for sharing.

[@girardlahuin4138]

Thanks I'm learning something new here, great method added to my experience...

it was my first time to watch this video, I enjoyed the sceneries a lot, specially that last scene when the camera came to pulling out the 4 mackerels all one after another lining up perfectly. ... today is nasty day out side in NY with lots of rain and wind gusts before the hurricane, but u made me but on my fishing mode and went out , so I would like to thank you

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

+usamail usanyc The world often looks a little wilder from behind the curtains, so many times I have forced myself out and had the best of times. thanks

[@anjales.4156]

So nice.. also the fishing

[@barrybowden5778]

Finally getting around to making a set. Hope to catch some brim or crappie here in the states.

[@bobbertheclown2907]

so simple so good, your amazing. thanks for the video.

[@josephwise2829]

Awesome I'll got try this rig out at local pond. Plus catching 2 '3'4 fish at the same time. That's for ideas you gave me.Plus liked this video vary much. Thanks again for wonderful tip.:-) Paul addimes.

[@alecbotash2427]

Thanks for great video ! 👍🎣🎣

[@paulr19901]

Great video... easy to follow, Going to try a couple hours of fishing with it tomorrow :) fingers crossed ! thanks alot.

[@andregarcia9437]

I’ve always been curious on what not was used to attach the main line and the rig together

[@natureminimalistebricolage8951]

Yeha! Nice job with "nothing" but calm and simple way, i like this in your video! I don't have maquerel into my lake, but i can try this for pearch fiching (with small hook :) ). Thanks for your work and sharing! Stephane

[@ghostwolftwo8856]

Nature minimaliste (Bushcraft) mackerel are sea fish

[@Scott64a]

Dude... I love it.

[@fredfable5655]

Beatyfully made...Thanks!

[@ahmedalameer6952]

Amazing thank you for the great video I did it but instead I have used parrot feathers cuz I have a pet parrot and there's a lot of old feathers with nice colours on them like red blue yellow and green so I used them with some type of reflective sewing thread And guess what it worked perfect for the mackerel and some sardines hooked too

[@jBigjohndoe1971]

Great guide, I'm gonna try it for freshwater perch... but jigging.

[@SEBFishing1213]

Another awesome video Paul! Super cool idea.. Used ur previous vids to make sabikis! Work great... love the shrimp pattern sabiki the most! Looks Awesome can't wait to tie this one next!

[@rollastoney]

I've made a few of these just for fun. As I only fish freshwater, I'm Probably never going to use them but still fun to make.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Fuzzy Ewok yep i have the same problem, sometimes just tie rigs or hook lengths for no good reason

[@jefv11]

Nice video Paul, thanks for sharing.

[@МихаилМихайлов-о1о]

[@mknight6026]

Shut up and take my money already! Best one ive seen.

[@808Mark]

Beautiful explanation! I loved your video at the end too

[@Targetfocus]

WOW, you are just amazing!!

[@herbertglory4518]

cool brah its awesome how uou use house hold items for fishing stuff

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Herbert Glory can you tell my wife that i spend too much time in the kitchen

[@DavidStanleymusic]

Very good technique

[@pagansuk3681]

I feel like I'm watching art attack for adults. This is awesome

[@RussellSchaare]

Excellent video! Thanks very much.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Russell Schaare My friends are building a house just by where i was fishing, so i may have to visit them soon, or the fish. Thanks

[@pet12oes6]

should try this. this is amazingly

[@DuoBanditBTW]

thats a nice method of recycling

[@simonhopkins3867]

I've heard that herring are about so thinking about having a go with a medium to light spinning rod thank again Paul. I hope work is going well :-)

[@adamsmithson486]

Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę miłego dnia And big fishes

[@richardpeterson3753]

Now this is a man that knows how to start the day right lol.would like to know some details on the coffee pot.i got two similar stove top Expresso pots,but they don't look like this.seems yours makes a sizable amount.intreasting lure.might give this a swirle.needed a simple way to rig perch hooks.some absolutely baby fish was all that was biting and needs micro gear to catch.would be good to live line later.

[@gabisalloum6122]

Thanks Paul Beautiful & Perfect demo God bless you.

[@kerisianglerteam5988]

Nice. Might add some coloured strings as well.

[@ryanthomas33]

mate youre a bloody legend.

[@gamer2morrow]

this is such a calm video :) i got all drowsy but was entertained :D

[@EngineeredAngler]

As always, very clever and better yet it produces a nice catch....nicely done. Made me want to look up the Isle of Mull on Google Earth...pretty stunning views. Thank you for sharing.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Frank'O' XC I lived there for a few years it is a pretty amazing place, thanks

[@ronanderson4296]

Sweet idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@fredhall4239]

Great advice, i have been making mackerel lures for a while now, crude compared to yours but they still catch, the reason why? Is because shop brought one's crack off and i think some brands the line breaking strain is over rated and also there's nothing like making and catching on your own tackle, i like swan feathers but will try your technique and that venue you fished from breath taking reminds me of west coast Ireland, thanks for posting

[@yanikalain3634]

Good video paul and great idea

[@FiscusCBB]

Gran video Paul ! !

[@miman-ck9jv]

Those mackerels would look good in my smoke house 👍👍

[@aleksandrmunos4115]

It's good guys is amazing of fishing 👍

[@alamandaJuza]

Thanks for your effort.

[@kadaluzhavan4150]

Excellent friend 👍

[@matjubingkor1619]

Very nice video..I like it

[@samiklaa3445]

Great idea ... Simple and active But i have one or two questions : _Do you throw it alone with no baits? _Is it for sea fishing? _What is the weight of your sinker ? I am a beginner so i hope you answer my question.

[@youwontknowmyname3763]

Cast with no bait. Use a 3 pound weight and cast into the sea if you r fishing for mackerel

[@usamafassey6035]

This is wonderful! Thank you for your video and i'm gonna try this out today!! :)

[@trebel]

A very good professional explanation and clearly explained. You are a real teacher. Thank you kindly. Cheers m8.:_:)

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

Glad you liked it!

[@richardpeterson3753]

Props for proper knots too.hard to find these days
