The Cheb Rig - BFS fishing for Big Chub and Perch

An introduction to the Cheb rig. The Cheburashka rig. Aka a brilliant, versatile and effective finesse Weedless option for your Zman baits and all your general plastics! I want to do a few videos focusing in on a few of the rigs I use this time of year to fish for Big Perch and anything else that loves something creeping along the bottom. I've not had much time recently with work and daylight hampering my efforts but I managed to sneak in two hour long sessions this week and this is the end result. I managed to bank lovely Chub and some tiny perch (only one made the cut the others were smaller than you would believe) 😂🤦‍♂️ but I guess that's not the point of the video and also it's fishing, you can't catch a unit on every cast. If you could we would probably all get bored... eventually 😉😂 Like always I hope this video is useful and enjoyable. It's not exhaustive and I'm sure I've missed some obvious stuff but if you haven't tried the Cheb rig DOOOOO it! As always thanks for watching my videos and I'm so pleased you're enjoying them and potentially getting something from them. Please feel free to send me any questions on insta - @londonperchfinder or in the comments on here and I will get back to you as quick as I can and if I get enough on a certain subject I will endeavour to get out there and make a video!! Tight lines as always if you are out there between now and my next video, speak soon, Adam

Another informative vid, I had some good success with the cheb rig, fishing finesse shadz, last winter, taking fish to 2.11lb. Oh and I’ve just received that rod too, hoping to christen it at the weekend. Keep them vids coming 👍🏻

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hi Neil! Awesome news mate that's a solid solid fish. Gotta love a Cheb! Brilliant mate let me know how you get on with it. I will do my best to keep them coming!! 💪🙌

[@addictedtoangling]

Loved the little tip with the float stop great videos cheers

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Thanks mate!! 👊🙌

[@janosczovek8524]

Good video really enjoyed it thanks 👍

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Cheers mate! 👊

[@mcfriter]

I'm in my mid 60s and have just taken up lure fishing. I find you videos very informative. It goes to show that you're NEVER too old to try something new. Excellent work. Keep it up.

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hi Ernest. Thanks so much for watching and I am really pleased you are enjoying them and finding them useful. Very cool that uour giving lure fishing a go! Let me know how you get on Sir! 👊🙌

[@yep.fishing]

Did you say bubblegut? Wow... LUIMARCO made thdt term famous and now they have a lure colour of the same name

[@Nick-lx7mb]

Cool vids man:) subscribed !

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi well I got some plastics and on my first session, less than 20 mins in cold conditions got my first pike. Only small but fun on an ultralight rod! Cheers Bill

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Well done Bill! Very cool to get out first time and catch. Can't wait to see your first big perch on them! 👊🙌

[@damianowens5066]

Nice one mate you got there in the end, don't you just love the strange names we come up with for our rigs no matter what style of fishing we are doing! Well I've invented one myself and it's called the egg nog rig! What you do is take a large bottle of egg nog fishing with you and if you don't catch anything drink the egg nog and then jump into the canal pissed and catch them between your teeth! It's very effective try it!!! Lol 🥴🤪😂😂😉🎣👍

[@golffish7599]

Wet the hook when threading float stop…

[@user-xq5dh8fv2i]

Hi,quick question.. when theres a possibility of hooking up on pike, do you use a fine trace wire for your jig or cheb style rigs? If so, couod you give me some pointers as im new to finesse style fishing. Thanks again 🙏

[@richardgodfrey1692]

Great Video and Great Info Many Thanks Rods Hollow or Solid Tips

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Thanks mate! Much appreciated and thanks for watching! I use both hollow and solid! This one is hollow I believe!

[@badfishingbissanschlagdril3637]

Nice catch 👍🏼🎣 greetings from Germany🇩🇪 Stay safe😷---

[@daansiderius4283]

Def would reccomend using like a size 1 or even 2 for the bugz as it seems.. You can catch more and the bait will fit on the hook better

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hi mate! cheers for watching 1/0 and 1 are my go too's but size 2 also works! I'm not really having an issue with catch rate but the smaller the hook the more the action will change 100%! 👊🙌

[@daansiderius4283]

@@Watercraftfishingtv been finding small hooks work real damn well! Plus less nibbles that dont become a hook up.. Smaller bend

[@lenraby5920]

Great video, it’s good to shows the lean periods when it’s about wetting the line over n over to catch. I’m having good success with Westin stickleback down on my local cut, give em a try mate.

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hi Len. Thanks mate! I really appreciate that. That's awesome man so glad your having success mate. I've seen them a few times. Next time I'll give them a go!! 👊🙌

[@gavin7706]

As usual a very good video🎣 It's a good way to fish, been tough out there lately but it'll pick up soon🤞 Tight lines bud 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Thanks Gavin really appreciate it mate! Yea it has fingers crossed for a bumper February 🙌💥

[@davesgonefishing322]

Love your videos caught a few myself on the grubz Ned rig . What landing net handle r u using?

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hi David! Thanks mate I really appreciate it! That's awesome news mate. It's a Korum 2.5mr telescopic snapper handle! 👊🙌

[@MrPstory]

Nice chub. I use the cheb rig pretty much all the time, at the moment Isome worms on a really small size 6 worm hook with 2gram cheb weight have work for me. Some nice perch and chub being caught.

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Cheers mate! Awesome. Yea it's such a good rig. I can do nearly everything 🙌😂👊 thanks man and thanks for watching it's much appreciated! 🎣👊

[@dpfisherman]

Great work mate always very informative your videos 👍🏻 Keep up the good work 👍🏻🎣👌🏻

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Thanks mate! Really appreciate it. I'll do my best man! 👊🙌

[@FanterFishing]

Chubz on Chebz, pukka tip with the float stop 👍

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Haha love that! I feel like a change of title is in order. Cheers mate as long as you don't stab yourself it's a belter 😂🙌

[@FanterFishing]

Perch Finder TV 😂😂😂 will give it a go 👍 it’s so cold lately I wouldn’t feel it anyway

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

😂😂😂 that's very true!

[@064pointbreak]

Who says you can only catch chub on coarse fishing gear and techniques?

[@TheSebtrain]

Nice vid man. What line do you find best for that reel?

[@Perchnerd]

I have the choice , Vin Diesel XXX or Adam 👍 thanks Adam best London Perch Fighter

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Haha thanks mate!! 👊🙌👊

[@taylorself7723]

How do you feel about the durability of your speed style? I bought the same one brand new on eBay from Japan this month and had it for less than a week and it broke the third time using it. I was throwing a mini 1/32 oz Texas rig and lightly set the hook on a 10 inch bass. It was 4 inches above the break apart piece on the tip section. I’m hoping the seller can get me a replacement tip from major craft but we’ll see how that goes

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

I've never had an issue with mine mate and I've had pike up to 22lb on it. It must have been damaged in transit or something! Hopefully they can sort you out mate! 👊🙌

[@taylorself7723]

Perch Finder TV Thanks man! Keep it up with the great vids 👊

[@steveboram4415]

Always entertaining Adam , at least you out on the bank pal .

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Cheers Steve as always I really appreciate it! That's true a couple of hours is still better than no hours! Hope youre well mate!! 🙌💯

[@JamieVauxnut1]

114 "cheb"s in one video 🙊

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

Could you use a bobber stop as a bait holder?

[@darensmith4944]

Love your vids, carp angler for years , bought a boat on the trent so a small set up for this kind of fishing is ideal .... had a few so far . Including a lovely perch , had no scales but must have been up near 4 lb ..... keep the vids coming ...

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Thanks so much mate! That sounds absolutely epic fair play. I've got a boat in the pipeline can't wait to explore a few rivers with it! Hope you are well mate. 👊

[@tomosedwards8369]

Team Ginger Beard! Awesome vid mate :)

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hahaha love it mate! Cheers Tom! 👊🙌

[@blackphantom4076]

very informative and enthusiastic commentary

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Cheers mate! 👊🙌

[@richardgodfrey1692]

Adam on E bay Gamakatsu Worm EWG offset Hooks + Silicone Stoppers Weedless in sizes 4 , 2 , 1 , 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0 Might save you Stabbing your self I use them for Bass Fishing in the bigger sizes with z-man baits but put the stop the other end.

[@TheConstantAngler]

Got to love a bit of Pink in a lure. The Wrasse i fish for love a Pink lure. Cant wait to get back to Perch fishing after a long lay off.

[@treforknight1366]

Useful video!.. I ordered some cheb weights etc just yesterday.. looking forward to trying them.. nice to see a video where someone actually admits to blanking or just pulling out a couple ( as I do often!).. get a bit tired of the heavily edited videos where baits are reported to be constantly ‘smashed’ or ‘crushed’ etc 😂 👍

[@arranrobeson8826]

I got a nice couple of spots near Kingston you should try. what ends are you from?

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hi mate I'm from Brentford. Sounds interesting. I've fished a bit around there. Always up for a session. 👊🙌

[@matthewkay1992]

Another great video what net are you using

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Thanks Matthew. It's a Korum Snapper net. 👊🙌

[@NBN1995]

I'm trying the cheb rig out atm, and i tend to get "alot" of grass/weed on the bullet head. so it aint "weedless". Do you find this problem aswell or do you have a solution for it ? :-)

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

Good stuff, strangely I was planning to do a Cheb rig vid... you beat me to it. Again love your videos and getting loads of tips so thank you. Best guy

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Cool mate. Looking forward to seeing yours soon! Thanks mate. Love your new BFS set up so cool to see you loving it mate! 👊🙌

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

Perch Finder TV thanks mate.... work has gone a bit mental so maybe a week or two until I get out again 👎

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Ah man I know the feeling but two weeks would drive me nuts! Fingers crossed it's shorter mate!! 💯

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

Perch Finder TV Hi Mate, I wanted to give you a heads up. I have developed a rig which I pitched to Zman (they liked it but didn’t bite... no pun intended) ..... anyway I’ve posted it on my channel first thing tomorrow..... would love to know what you think. Guy

[@perchquariumpike19]

Thumbs upp👌👍

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Thanks as always mate!! 👊🙌

[@stuartday3232]

Hi Adam. Been watching all your vids and the content is great. But I have a sneaky question? Looks like I have the same net set up (with a mag) you have on this vid and was wondering how you managed to deploy it so quickly and completely? Have you modified it in any way??

[@SLEEP-236]

Great tip with the float stop👍

[@DaveSmith-dw8fq]

Great log as always bud gutted didn’t get the chance to meet you the other day my local stretch in Leicestershire how,d you get on and what technique did you use on the day

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hi Dave! Thanks mate! Ah man that's annoying would have been great to meet you. I fished the Ned rig all day with a mixture of TRD Bugs and Finesse TRD's all from Zman as usual. It was hard but we found the perch in the end and managed a few nice fish biggest two being about 2lb and 37,8cm. We came second in the comp by 2cm and missed out on two pike but qualified for the final a week Saturday which is cool! It's a lovely little stretch of canal mate. Especially the closer you get to Leicester! Loved it! 👊🙌

[@DaveSmith-dw8fq]

Perch Finder TV I’ve had some great pike out off the K bridge end but it’s very snaggy so I’ve struggled with using trades with shrooms but will definitely having a go with the new shrimp pinks look awesome

[@paulhoughland8505]

Hello Adam, bumped into on the on the Cleddau earlier, impressed with your Finesse set up, wondering if you could recommend a set-up for trout and where I can purchase it?

[@Joshutch1066]

Another great video. Really enjoy watching them great work.

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Thanks mate! Really appreciate it! 🙌

[@zkfishing]

You worked hard for that Chub, you deserved it haha ! Good job !🎣👊🏻

[@davecockayne8491]

Great video. Very informative,thanks.

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Cheers Dave! I really appreciate it mate. Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

You can always use a small piece of silicone tube to hold the bait on easier than float stops

[@darrenrodd.]

This is mainly the only rig I use in 3g and 5g awesome way to fish

[@TheConstantAngler]

Great explanation of the mechanics of the rig compared to others.

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Cheers mate! 👊🙌

[@Flarito]

Thank you do much for your videos!

[@Perchnerd]

Congratz Adam 👍 Zman and Chebu rox

[@davidsnowdon7206]

Such a good idea with the float stop. 👍

[@razvanburada1648]

What fishing line do you use ???

[@Watercraftfishingtv]

Hi mate! I use HTO nebula 16lb 0.8PE braid and a 6lb major craft Fluro leader! 👊🙌

[@razvanburada1648]

Thank you
