Pier Fishing: A Fishing Rig to Catch More Fish

Want to learn a Pier fishing rig to catch more fish? I’ll show you my favorite fishing rig to use while pier fishing. Pier fishing is a perfect time to use this rig because it is easy to just drop straight down.The Paternoster Rig a very sensitive drop rig that is tied with two or more hooks. It is a simple tie, the only tricky part is learning to tie the drop loop.

That was definitely the easiest way I've seen to tie a dropper loop and I've never even thought to cut one end of the loop to make it a single line instead of a double. Thank you for the tips.

[@nicholasdove8623]

Hey skipper, I made my own rigs like you by watching the video and got a ton more bites. I went to North Carolina and caught spotted trout, flounder, pinfish, and string ray. Had a big drum on but my main line snapped before the rig snapped. Great job sir and thank you for posting.

[@lojofishing]

I love these videos man, they help me out a lot with saltwater fishing

[@philippemarseres7196]

Comment faire pour voir la video en français?

[@thejourney443]

Sup lojo

[@tecschooldropout]

I've been wanting to surf fish for a pretty long while now. These videos are really helping me wrap my head around what's needed.

[@rudyjean1415]

Hi from Martinique. I find this montage great because it is very economical and very simple. There is no need to paster noster and the knots is simple and fast. Very good video.

[@TheStarbuck61]

Moved to Aransas Pass Texas and now I am learning all I can about fishing - salt water in particular. Lots to catch up on; and this has been very instructive Brendon! Thank You.

[@savageshot098]

Dude this is the perfect tutorial probably the best one yet.

[@rabbitbully1810]

Brandon, I have watched the Dropper loop tied many times. This is the first time it just clicked in my head and I tied it no problem. Thanks.

[@dmartinnj]

Yes your tuts help. I am new to fishing and watch many vids to tips and ideas. I've been fishing for 2 months and have not had any luck. Keep up the good work and thank you for wanting to help the new people :)

[@MeatySnipes]

Yes they help (your tutorials), I have learned so, so much from you. Thank you, keep it going and don't stop mentoring us.

[@shawnclark9050]

Just started back fishing after a 15 year break. Yes, I appreciate the videos from you. I am re-learning so much. thanks.

[@smoxen]

I have been fishing on the Texas coast nearly every summer for a long time. Never learned how to do this until now, made a few up myself and failed. Thank you for helping me learn to tie this not correctly. Do I enjoy watching your how-to videos? Absolutely, yes. Good work.

[@kevin_1979]

You're one of the more down to earth guys that talks fishing and doesn't just want to advertise someone's stuff. I like it.

[@Rcgravity]

Finally somebody that clearly explains and clearly shows you how to tie a knot other ones I couldn’t see what they were doing thank you bud

[@darrellsaurus9046]

New to fishing, and these types of videos are GREAT - more please!! Scenario type tutorials please. Ex. If you go shore fishing, these types of rig/bait. If pond fishing for bass, these types of rig/bait. etc.

[@MrTacticalGiant]

3 years later and still very helpful thank you

[@rdarda2225]

Awesome! I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Not only are you a great fisherman, you’re also a great teacher. Keep up the good work.

[@DCD-il3nm]

Yes these types of videos are helping. I watch a lot of guys on here and no one is giving good not or rig tutorials.

[@baconguy247]

ive been watching tutorials all day...yours is by far the best...keep up the good job

[@toptierbillionaire1474]

Thank you Bro. You are making fishing more easier for people who are just starting off with no experience. I would love to see different types of knots that you prefer and use and how to tie them. That would be cool

[@MiguelMartinez-hi6ce]

Really helpful thank you . I like how you actually took the time and made sure we can see it clearly . Really good tutorial keep up the great vids

[@gslice100]

Love the channel guys. Taking my kids pier fishing for the first time, they are so excited, and love watching your videos.

[@jameskinnaman9131]

I'm headed to Florida next month and this video is exactly what I've been looking for! I have fished off the pier before but with a friend and I'll be fishing by myself this time and all my questions have been answered! I think I'll subscribe 👍🏻 you guys are hilarious and thanks for the help!!!

[@sherryslr]

I've been really studying your videos. I bought each of your .pdf's as I already have a pretty good tackle collection. I had a somewhat successful pier fishing evening last week. I had never caught fish at a public pier, but I caught 2 catfish. Not a fish that I want, granted, but it was FISH. Today, I had tied a couple of pater noster rigs with yellow and red beads for beach fishing. Whiting are running. Again, I had NEVER caught a single fish surf fishing after having gone about 15 times. I caught a whiting on my second cast! I caught a total of 6 whiting and 1 catfish, followed me!, in less than two hours! Thank you for helping me learn how to fish in salt water in my beautiful state of Florida!

[@joerho]

Helped me even though I’ve been fishing for a little while. Never figured out how to tie dropper loops til now!

[@LaurieandBillRetired]

Yes showing how you tie the dropper was very clear and helpful. I appreciate your effort to produce the video.

[@drmatarkin2100]

I haven’t been fishing in a long time. I always love fishing, but I haven’t been able to make the time. Your videos have been giving me such an itch!!! Hopefully I can get out soon!

[@luluomega]

This is now and forever my favorite video yoh have done

[@HeySkipper]

+Joey Fleurinor what really! Haha why?

[@genedemascio4643]

Great tutorial on how to tie those rig setups. I have seen the deck hands rig it up so fast that I was not able to catch it. Now I feel confident on tying it up myself. Great job!

[@brewjitsu429]

Hey, I've been watching a lot of your vids... yes, I really like these kinds of tutorials in addition to your fishing vids. Thanks!

[@eho0720]

Love this style of vids. I never really fished except with a bobber years ago so I will take all the info I can get. Love u guys please keep up the great work!

[@frogget76]

Very helpful. I'm a beginner so I've watched 5 videos before yours, but yours is most helpful. Thank you!

[@keithparr8483]

Thanks for the tutorial! I'll be using this rig with my daughter on our next pier fishing trip! All the best!

[@larrya2955]

I appreciate your channel and the tutorials, tips, and tricks because I try to learn all I can as I am relearning to fish. I fished some as a teenager but never had anyone with experience teach me. And way back then there was no internet lol. I just bought magazines.

[@franzvanderkraan7583]

You're a great teacher, and your videos have been super helpful. Thanks!

[@kripsak]

Pretty sweet vid, I remember those days of learning fishing knots from a book. Awesome work Senko team!

[@Rick97266]

You're basically making a hi/lo rig with the two hooks instead of a sabiki which has up to 6. The tip about cutting the dropper loop is genius tho! I like that it has potential to be more stealthy, and give bait more life in the current (I fish in the surf a lot). The dropper loop is the one that consistently gives me issues, and your description of how to tie it is the best I've seen yet! I think I am going to adopt the way you tie it as my go-to from now on! so much easier! Thanks for a great video! Definitely subscribed!

[@anthonycapparelli5570]

Man thank you for explaining everything simply and clearly. A lot of people’s videos are ruined by too much commentary

[@austinmaxey6128]

Great detail in showing how to actually tie the knot!! Keep them coming!!

[@artminchew5806]

Thanks for all your tips. This one is especially helpful. I will definitely be using this rig. Thanks again!

[@mannyteeXD]

I watched you video about sabiki rigs and I decided to try them out and I can't believe how much luck I've had with them. I've caught everything from smallmouth bass to dock perch and ling cod. Thanks :)

[@wadebarnes6720]

Got it the first time ain't no doubt when somebody shows you it ain't nothing to it and thank you Matt was doing the double knot ring and I think the the knots will be better this way then the way I was doing it

[@thomashuskey3531]

I finally learned how to tie a dropper loop ! Wow , thanks man !!!

[@tjohnson034]

I really appreciate you showing how to do the knots. It is something my dad always did for me. He is now 80 with poor eyesight and I always struggle.

[@floydaltonmiller]

I really appreciate the close up of this rig.

[@nathanaeldavis2552]

these are really helpful. I just started getting into fishing and I stumbled on this video. I love your channel. Keep up the good work
