I'm kinda new to fishing after a 30 yr absence, this vid has been a total godsend. Thanks very much Mr, Barnes, I may need to pick your brains again in the not to distant future?

[@gdroo]

I can't stop watching this particular video of yours! Great job! Very enlightening! If I wasn't living so far away from you I would surely order on of your longlines or two. Intelligence and craft , as well as a noble and environmentally aware mind such as yours must be rewarded. Alas we're too far away so I'll try building one myself, following your advices -with a couple of slight adjustments to the waters where I live. Many warm greetings from Greece!

10 anno fa hai scritto. Come è andata?

[@bigdog7658]

I use this method on a rig I made myself. Works well. One comment though after years of using. There is potential for getting yourself into trouble trying to position the boat when retrieving as you have to be perfectly in line with the grapple down as you can't pull the line to you and you can't run over it. Works way better if you pull the downwind line and grapple and clip the float off on the backbone so that end is floating. Go upwind and do the same and as soon as it is up motor off at a right angle so you don't drift on the downwind float. Once you have done that you can just drift and the backbone comes with you with no stress. Way easier. You just have to run a clip system between your droppers and backbone. Easy to do and I get two lots of 25 hook backbones and droppers on the same reel. If you do this you just have to put the first dropper line in a bucket, and then wind it on last (you'll work it out).

[@paulsfishingsystems]

Yes, I do the same if the wind is strong and it works well. In light winds over sandy areas it is unnecessary.

[@RoughDraftSolo]

Do you know how happy I would be if I could see the ocean every day? And going Longline fishing? That's a whole 'nother story. Anyone reading this who gets to see the ocean whenever they want, be grateful and catch somethin' for me. Peace from Ohio

[@111fishkiller]

Great video sir and a great product. I live in Palm Beach Florida USA. I can see where that rig would be super for bottom fish. I'd like to set 3-5 25 hook sets,haul them back and call it a day!!! I'll be saving my pennies for one of those reels,the rest I can rig on my own. Thank you again Mr.Paul for a great idea! Jeff

[@1281ritesh]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge

[@paulsfishingsystems]

@belleviewable Any hook needs to be forcefully set to ensure the barb penetrates below the skin of the fishes mouth. The system works because the fish is unaware of the trace being connected and takes it into it's mouth. As it swims away the set occurs very positively when the clip hits the stopper.

[@paulsfishingsystems]

Also, I have used this system of long lining for thirty five years both commercially and as a recreational fisher and have never had any injury or hooks in me in all that time and over those millions of hooks I have set and hauled.

I like what you do mr cal. Am from medlest and i Wesh you agood luck sir

[@belleviewable]

Awesome Vid, though I've one question: You say that the fish can run along the mainline till it hits a stopper, which sets the hook, but arn't circle hooks supposed to work best without a sharp tug to set them, which could pull the hook from the fish's mouth? Is that theory wrong?Because that is an impressive catch on the second line. Josh

[@CoolStreamT]

Here is what I think. If fish swallows the hook with the floating beats, it cannot easily be hooked, because when fish eventually spit the float, at that moment hooks will be out to. That's because beats diameter is many times bigger than thickness of the shank of the hook. The unique hook shape causes the hook to slide towards the point of resistance and embed itself in the jaw or in the corner of the fish’s mouth if of course the fish mouth is close. So the fish opens the mouth to spit the ball shape beats and hooks follow beads without any problem especially if the plane of the hook is positioned horizontally. I mean if the shape of the floats will be not round but flat, it will help to hook the fish better. Other words, if you not let the fish open the mouth too much, it will be hooked better. You know what I mean. Maybe technically its not easy to make flat shape floats and let them last longer. But that's just a technical problem.

[@crazycanadian7741]

From Samos Greece well done enjoyed the video, will use it here also , wee normally use a basket with 100 up to 150 hooks for tuna and sword fish,with the basket it's very dangerous cause your putting the hooks in the basket and when you get a big fish on at the end the fish dives ,and the hooks stark flying out and God help you if 1 hook grabs you, it almost happened to me. From now on iam making a reel and will disconnect the hooks as they come in the boat . Thanks again for the good information Andreas.

[@paulsfishingsystems]

This is why we make the hooks clip on traces. You can safely let big fish run the line out.

[@kerryfoster1]

Hi Paul, What are the clips you use to attach the traces to the mainline? these could be great for beach fishing as I could change trace length,hook size or bait without having to change the entire end tackle, simply clip on a new trace and away you go.

[@tavernakohili]

Hi Paul ,the stopers are made on the main line. Or with a direct line parallel to the main ? dint understand it. Thanks from samos Greece. Can you please give me a close up where the hook clip concepts.

[@paulsfishingsystems]

The stoppers are whipped and bound and glued onto the mainline.

[@gunsmith19971997]

was thinking about getting one but the price is a bit steep over 200 dollers for this same set up in vid do u just sell the reel and the ankers were we can make the lines our self's?

This is a recreational longline and the hook limit in New Zealand is 25 hooks. When I was commercial fishing we ran 1000 to 1500 hooks per set.

[@tavernakohili]

When you were a commercial fisherman were you able to make a good living at the time? and put some cash away for retirement, I've been working for 22 year's as a tavern owner never easy, cause wee dint have a grid for power ,using a deasel generator, the noise but still wee worked very well. When the tavern is called the taverna at the end of the world.

If you want a genuine Pauls Fishing Systems Snapper Longline you will need to purchase here - www.fishingtacklesale.co.nz/category/74227 Be careful what you buy elsewhere, many cheap copies are around and they are inferior in quality and will not get the same catch rates.

[@fisherboy444]

Hi Paul, can you retrieve the line by choosing either one of the two floats? Cheers

[@paulsfishingsystems]

I always pick up the up wind float first and use wind and drift to assist when hauling. If I get it right I don't need to drive the boat at all when hauling.

As a commercial fisherman, i see this set up as a very dangerous and amaturish way of setting out, and hauling back longlines or hook gear !!!. Look up tub trawling, or other longlining videos for safer and more efficient ways of setting and hauling hook gear.

[@paulsfishingsystems]

This system is far less dangerous than any system that has hooks on snoods permanently fixed to the mainline. If this gear is snagged on the bottom line can easily be fed out very quickly with no danger of anyone getting a hook in them. This is not so with the systems you are advocating. Hooks cannot tangle when setting and get dragged over the side in big dangerous mess of line, snoods and and hooks either, and this certainly happens with the systems you suggest.

[@tapecariadesigncarvalho7242]

👍

[@paulsfishingsystems]

@flamedrag18 These hooks outperform conventional circle hooks and do not gut hook snapper. Conventional circle hooks do gut hook fish, particularly on set lines although they don't gut hook as many as Octopus of O'Shaunessy, J type hooks.
