As an avid kayak fisherman in Hawaii, I’ve watched literally a hundred fishing videos. At first I thought you were like the rest, just showing off their fishing skills. Kinda like letting everyone know what a badass fisherman they were. But I have come to respect you because you are by far the most thorough teacher to many that want to start fishing. You are candid and honest. I know that selling your brand is necessary to allow you to travel and fish. One is never too seasoned to know everything and I have picked up many of your tips and modified it to my style of fishing. If you ever in the area (Hawaii) , maybe we can teach you a thing or two. Keep up the great work! Love watching the dynamics with you, your fiancée and your dad. Mahalo and Aloha.

[@HeySkipper]

You rock, thank you so much for following and sharing the love!

[@drevil4454]

thank you young man. I have never made as many knots in my life. your tutorials are very handy

[@FrankNOgre]

I am completely new to fishing. Your video helped me out an incredible amount. Thank you!

[@stevemaynardsmith4726]

Awesome video! I am now semi retired and have gone back surf casting and this is by far the best video on dropper lines I have come upon. Thanks!

[@brizy208]

You are my go to guy everything fishing.. ..The best TEACHER in fishing on youtube for me...very knowledgeable and honest...thank you

[@garyashcrroft7605]

Fantastic, so basic & easy to learn instructions, thank you .

[@steved2390]

I wanted to thank you for these videos, they're really very detailed, they're simple, for amateur fishermen like me. So, a big thank you from France. I'm in Martinique, and I'll be trying out your little tutorials👍👌

[@wrath231]

I love a classic fish finder rig. I've had almost no luck with a 3 way rig.

[@epicplayz5584]

Easily once of the best informative channels for educating new fisherman like my self. Great job guys love your work.

[@squeeshygaming]

clearest and up to point rigging tut i havee watched so far! many thanx sir! i wanted to start fishing as a hobby u helped me alot~!

[@jefffasnacht3890]

Hi guys, I love what you are doing with your show. First of all, it's very informative, secondly you are very sincere and upfront with your viewers. I guess my comment would be is where I fish near the Indian River Inlet in Deleware,it is very rocky. So instead of losing my whole rig I use a rubber band to hold my sinker on. That way when a Tog takes it down a hole the rubber band would break, and you would keep the rest of your rig. Some people like it some don't. Just a thought.

[@EricElPescador]

Thanks for the video! Very informative as always!

[@FYRSTWAFFEN]

[@russellmcgarrity]

Really good information. Articulate and well presented modelling of the set ups. Thanks for your time.

[@lucjean5610]

Thank for your videos. My comments is that I am loosing more rigs than tingling my line for this reason I am not using swivels and clips. I am using only knots to accomplish this exact same rig. The preparation at home is the T knot drop loop and a perfect loop for the weight.

[@aloknight3656]

Thanks! Now I know what to look for the next time I go to the store.

[@TheOscarsolis89]

It’s amazing how there’s always something new to learn. You showed me like 10 bro

[@jamesdickeson6981]

really good video, you can pretty much do anything with these knots and your tutorials on each are great. definitely saving this video to refer to and practice. thx for all the great content, forever grateful

[@HGANGHONY]

Thank you Skipper. 👍

[@davidbrockett1]

Still think the t knot is the best one I've seen from you guys use it on every rig now ✌️

[@pohukai3216]

excellent video and description of the problem you are solving... vision and dexterity. I wear bifocals now and hate tieing my rigs on my kayak in rough ocean..so I rid everything at home in relax, calm environment. plus it gives me enjoyment off the water

[@HeySkipper]

Exactly! I understand some people can’t tie them, but for those who can, you should!

[@twocapsjmac]

This is essentially the favored Tautog rig used in Ocean City Md at the inlet and other locations. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@MrDjxy]

It's the same rig I use at the 4th st bulkhead, I tend to stay away from the inlet, too many people for me

[@jlansdale536]

First knot I call a figure 8 loop knot. That makes a loop I used to tie the of those knots. One at the bottom for sinker and 2 for hooks for old time freshwater carp fishing with .25mm monofilament line.

I use this to catch catfish bait a lot with the exception of adding beads instead of a float and using a dual hook setup. Very effective

[@davidbubbsoar2555]

As a commercial fisherman, I only just started Sport fishing with rod n’ reels. So much to take in vs what commercial demands I’ve been using a Carolina rig setup with a slip sinker and a #4 hook. I’ve found it so fun and relaxing casting out and reeling in nice n slow while watching for the tip bounce. 2nd time out, haven’t caught anything yet. But only time will tell. I’ll try this set up next I think! Thanks for the awesome video

You just GAVE me the best single video tutorial for an easy to rig and equally effect rig for fishing. THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU !

I learned that rig when I was 12 yrs old. good go to rig.

[@HeySkipper]

Yep! It’s one of the classics!

[@shrishoo7]

Thanks man i made this 2day cheerw

[@ocas5000]

So do you connect the two way swivel directly to the end of your main line? Or does your main line has a swivel clamp at the end of it to connect the two way swivel?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Sometimes when I work construction, if I spend a whole day swinging a hammer, by the end of the day my hands hurt too much to tie a knot. Sometimes the pain lasts for up to a month. Would be great having pre tied rigs for those days.

[@Hobowolverine17]

Nice video. I use somewhat the same type of rigging, but with a variation to the weight. Instead of clipping the weight. I use a lighter test line in between the clip and weight. So if the weight gets snagged and there is a fish on. I still get the fish, but lose the weight. It's a trade off. I use 30-50lbs main line. But 15lbs line between the clip and weight. I like the hook leader to sit 24-30" above the weight, with the hook leader 8-10" off the main line, with live bait (shad of minnow, hooked once so the bait is alive and swimming around until it's bitten). Anyways...

[@hadjnabil4811]

Thank you lot's 😘

[@paullambert1485]

Hey skipper wye not just a loop for the sinker so you don't lose a swivel each time . We all are trying to catch them fish the cheapest way . Thanks for the videos that you make .

[@cbirdsong22]

Great, useful video. Is floro-carbon required? can you do same with Mono? If not, why? thx again!

[@williamnull428]

Irish in rocky places too but fresh water. Try a three way swivel with a lighter line on the sinker end.

[@HeySkipper]

Lighter sinker in rocky areas help with no snags!

[@keithbazemore2044]

What is the yellow line your using in this video

[@robertmckee5737]

Cheers for the vid i think your first knot was a three turn figure of eight well thats what wee call it thanks keep up yer guid work.

Thank you!

The Lorax know you've been stealing his trees?

[@HeySkipper]

Haha dr Seuss gifted me that tree personally!

[@thomascornell9203]

In my " personal opinion" using the very first knot you did I'd use a simple polymer knot on the top swivel as well as the bottom for the weight.. much faster and in my " opinion" stronger knot but I love this vid and very well made

I have a tip you may want to try. Why use a snap swivel for the weight? I use a swivel on the line to leader connection but I just have a bottom loop for the weight and do the hook the way you do. Thanks for all the tips I've learned from you.

[@RedfishGB]

It's still crazy a channel with more than 600,000 subscribers. You never answer my questions about fishing because you are a beginner and passionate. I also watch your old videos very regularly. I wonder why. Do not have a big head and keep it simple because everything can stop very quickly especially nowadays and end up at the bottom of the ladder. To meditate.
