STOP Getting Snagged! The Best Fishing Rig for Heavy Structure & Coral Trout

[@gavinwilliams4803]

Hey Moody ! Thats a dodgy job pressure clean on the driveway mate..pour straight pool chlorine on it, let it sit 15 mins and hose it off.

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

What is it with you Gavins and your obsession with my driveway haha. Take a look at "gavsters" comment below to see what i mean. Thanks for the tip .

[@drakeastro8131]

At 5:35 he holds the trout close to his family jewels. Dont do that if u want to ring the bells, especially in shallow water and the trout hasnt got any barutrauma. Happened to me.

[@louisathaiday2549]

Thanks Ryan for your tips on how to fish with the right tackle, I'm just getting back into my fishing again back home in Cairns.

I still remember the trip that made me forget about rods for Trout and all reef fish for that matter. My mate is an ex Pro and took me with him on a 3 day trip. i asked how many rods i could take on his boat and he shook his head. he said he had all the gear we needed but if i wanted to bring a favourite rod i could. after a day of watching him land fish after fish on a handline and me being bricked or pulling up little cod i gave up and tried the handline. very first fish i caught was a nice trout. 20 bucks for a handline or 3-400 for a rod and reel. only rods i have now are for trolling and squidding. i use a handline or deck winch and catch more fish than most of my mates. even thinking of rigging up the deck winches for trolling.

I use a the smallest ball sinker that just fits over the leader, then the main sinker. Since I use the FG knot, I found its so fine that the main sinker would pass over the knot, but wouldn't come back over it. The little ball sinker solved that problem.

[@shidlovski2215]

Excellent solution for a slim knot and small hook eyes,

[@rodneycrossland3791]

I found with the running sinker and using the FG Knot, that the sinker runs past the knot and you can’t get it back over. So instead of tying a granny knot in the leader , I put on the smallest little ball sinker that can just fit over the line above the main sinker but won’t go past the leader to braid knot, works well

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

Hi Rodney no doubt that will work but i always try to not have anything coming onto the attached knot. Thats why we just tie a granny knot in the leader as the leader is much heavier and knots in it wont degrade it, cheers

[@rodneycrossland3791]

I get ya, good tip, cheers 👍

[@bettertackle6549]

Good info as always Ryan.

[@markbitcon9621]

Hello Ryan and a Merry Christmas to all . Am a big fan of the running sinker straight to the hook as it is so simple and yet so affective , wether used on a handline or rod and reel . Have used it with rod and reel in 55 m of water to catch spangled emperor , small mouth nannies , red emperor and then big blueys , in that order and in the one session .

[@HUNTINGNT375]

Also a good rig for barra in the Northern Territory on live mullet you can cast it as a clump and then the bait doesn’t flick off but if you give it a little bit of line the fish can swim freely once it’s on the bottom

[@HUNTINGNT375]

I do a bit of a KZbin channel up here I met you once at BCF up here only for a second there was heaps of people wanting to meet you

[@deaddance00]

That helped alot i was wondering why people used that rig set up there.

[@brettstewart6036]

Good info mate thanks for the tip will put this into practice on the next tip cheers Yogi 🤙🤙

[@floydmay1230]

Great Vid mate! One question, Braid or Mono for bottom bashing up to 30m?

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

Braid is best mate.

[@kingelgie8157]

Ka nice ba ate

[@logit3511]

Do you reckon you could do another how to cast net video

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

We already have one.

[@Charles-bd5qi]

Hi mate, what do you consider shallow water, would river mouths along the beaches count, 2-3.5m. Cheers again. Also lately due to colder waters I am getting lots of taps or light hits from barra on large live whiting and medium mullets/herring, I also follow all your other tips on using mono and soft tip rod and setting the drag and using kahle hooks, anything I can change to help hook up on these winter barras that aren't smashing the whole livey down?

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

Charlos best bet is to take a look at our Barra course.

Cheery Ryan

[@Truffles069]

Yeeew!!

[@gavster1961]

Gday Moody...dodgy pressure cleaning bud..lol...use straight pool chlorine ...pour it on broom it around ..no need to scrub....leave it on for a couple of hours or overnight then hose it off....thank me later

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

We will give a try ! Thanks mate!

[@noorezatoorabally2770]

nice

[@cianc4610]

What line class are those rods?

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

Probably 15 kg from memory.

[@cianc4610]

@@RyanMoodyFishing so a 10-15kg rod would be all good for most reef situations?

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

@@cianc4610 15 probably better around structure.

[@vanceneep6130]

👌👌👍

[@paulwheeler5739]

Rule of thumb, what weight size for around 8-20m depth, using 5-10kg line

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

It’s more about tidal movement. Pretty sure we did a blog on sinker weights.www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/choose-the-right-sinker-size/
