Sea fishing rig guide -The three hook flapper

[@brianpayne9275]

i whatch lot of videos on youtube i must say your videos realy good 3 bit you may how to help with i been fishing for very long time and not that good .1 i fish lot of matches get lots bite reel in to no fish .2 what best rig to use in a match 3 when i cust out my line gos up up up and not far out . i do not do very well in matchs what am i doing rong thank you i subscribed and keep up the good work sorry if spelling bad

[@SaltwaterAngler]

+brian payne thanks Everyone will have their own ideas and these are good questions that most Anglers will have faced. Ive consulted some local match Anglers and together we reconmend. 1. Trying smaller hooks matching the hook to the size of baits.Additionally consider bait presentation ensuring part of the gape of the hook and definately the hook point is visable. You could also try adjusting the snood length.Dont strike too early, depending on the species some fish need a while to hook themselves. There may well be many reasons but id try those first myself in the same situation. 2. The best rig depends on the venue and the match rules. Some form of two up one down rig is used on the south coast. 3.sounds like your taking your finger off the reel too early. Maybe try and wait a bit longer before you release the line on multiplier or fixed spool. Be interesting to hear others opinions on these questions as they are quite common ive noticed.

Nice tidy rig that one, I’ll make a few up and give them a go. 👍🏻

[@SaltwaterAngler]

thanks Mark , be good to see how you get on

[@clivewinter3351]

Thank you for the good advice I'm off the Dungeness next week so I'm going to have a go at making one as I normally buy them already made up as well as try out the b and new reel my lovely wife got me for xmas

[@SaltwaterAngler]

That sounds like a good Christmas Present - A good rig this for Dungee it usually picks something up with locally dug worms

[@jerra1234]

With the knot on the weight clip do i pass it through the loop with my finger or create another loop also what’s the knot called please

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Pass it through so your tying it “on the bight” it’s called a uni knot. Simple and effective.

Hi I have just started out sea fishing and went and bought 70lb 0.8mm asso shock leader for main body on advice from a mate . The only thing is i don't know what size of single barrel crimps i will need . Any advice would be greatly appreciated . I went and bought crimps the same diameter as the shock leader by mistake , what should i have bought ??? cheers

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Just get the next size up with an ID of 0.9. Internal diameter the same diameter of the line you can sometimes get it through but go for a crimps id that’s slightly larger. I’ve done that before too😂 I also got a micrometer from Aldi that’s very useful when ordering small diameter things , hope that helps

[@mikesaul8711]

Top job. Keep them coming. Kind regards Mike. Norfolk

[@mattdale9075]

Do you clip the top swivel onto mainline on reel or onto Shock leader (off of main line)? Hope that makes sense?

[@karlstokes874]

Hi buddy. I know you state to use small crimps,but what is the internal diameter of them please. I want to bulk buy some crimps for flapper rigs and want to make sure they'll fit 50-70 lb rig body material I was thinking something along the line of 1.2 / 1.4 int.diam? Cheers, Karl

[@kevinfinch2456]

What weight line for snood please?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

20-25lb works best for me

[@leemo4724]
