[@paddyfromireland9277]

Brad, that is the clearest description of using a hook tyer anywhere. Thank you very much.

@@paddyfromireland9277 Hi mate I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I hope it has helped thanks for the nice comment 👍🏻🎣

[@nathanhunt8598]

This is the only channel and your the only person that showed it properly and the only person I’ve managed to figure out how to do it from so thank you bud

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Nathan I’m glad that the video helped and that you liked it That is my reason for doing it I’m not interested in making money from it I just want to help people in any way that I can Thanks Brad👍🏻🎣

Spot on mate

[@briancrompton550]

Thanks mate I've never used one of these hook tiers but with your help i tied 16 yesterday afternoon. Great teacher 👍👍👍

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Brian Thanks for getting in touch and for the great comment I’m glad the video helped and hope you catch plenty of fish using them Thanks Brad 🎣👍🏻

[@davidschwartz9636]

Thanks for this video Brad. I've seen a few about how to use one of these hook tiers, but all they have done is gone through the instructions and haven't shown the actual use of the thing properly. Your video shows it very well, also points out little things not told in the instruction; imperative to keep the line tight, let the tag end slip through fingers, use scissors in bend of hook to make sure winding is right up to the spade on the hook. Thanks again Brad, I've now subscribed. Your channel is a valuable resource to someone relatively new to fishing. Regards David.

Excellent and clear instructions wicked vid mucca 😎

[@coventrykid]

Brilliant video again, keep up the good work Brad

[@michaelallcock6215]

I fwatched the lot then followed it using my matchman tier and it worked great - thanks. What I would have liked as an add-on is how you would put a band on too. Could you do the same video but with a banded hook please?

[@scottlawlor3434]

Any chance of a vid doing an adjustable zig rig .homemade not a korda shop bought bulky carp machine just a lighter version for all species??? Cheers mucca

[@bigteno4597]

Thanks Brad, subbed and hoping to learn more from you.

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Teno Glad you liked you video and if there is anything you would like me to do a video on just let me know and I will see what I can do Thanks Brad👍🏻🎣

[@bigteno4597]

@@Bradsanglingadventures Aww Brad that is so kind of you. I have recently retired and have purchased some new fishing gear. Just a quick question, I keep getting a bird's nest around my self casting spool. Any tips as how to prevent this? Thx bud Dr Paul

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

@@bigteno4597 I take your using a fixed spool reel and it’s possibly because there is too much line on the spool Brad

[@caiusmartius]

With the line coming from the back of the spade it will rub against the sharp edge of the spade and weaken the line, this will cause the line to eventually break. The line should always come from the front of the spade end, that's why 99% of spades are always angled to the back, even if only slightly. No one wants to lose a fish due to unnecessary line breakage, otherwise thanks for taking the time to make the video and uploading.

[@paulreeve9642]

I have to disagree with you. I know the line should come off the inside of the spade but I've lost fish with doing this. If you tie a hook with the line coming off the inside, hook the hook as though it's through a fishes lip then get a jewelers loop and look at the angle the line runs over the spade. You will see the line will rub, I know the spade is angled in the same direction but it's not enough. If you tie it coming off the outside it won't touch the spade where it comes off once the hook is pulled in a fishes mouth. Just check it out, your be surprised. 😊

[@paulreeve9642]

I don't use a hook tier, I tie mine by hand. Have a look at Andrew's Knots tying a spade end hook. It takes some practice to tie a hook like this but all of the wraps go over the tag end. I can tie a size 20 like this and I'm a pensioner 🙂. I still have the line coming off the wrong side of the spade.

[@paulwilliams9854]

Can you show how to also add a hair rig

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Paul I will be posting a new video on the matchman hook tyer again soon so will see if I can incorporate a hair rig into it as well Thanks for getting in touch Thanks Brad 👍🏻🎣

[@michaellavender7173]

Hi Brad, glad to see you back. Only one complaint is that the close up views of your hook tyer video are slighly out of focus, making it difficult to see what is happening. other than that carry on doing a great job.

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Michael Thanks for the feedback I will do another one soon hopefully in focus 😂 I’m out fishing tomorrow (first time in what seems like a lifetime) so I might see if I can get some footage Thanks Brad👍🏻🎣

[@paulford234]

Hello mate can you use the match tyer to do hair rigs for bands etc

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Thanks for getting in touch I will have a go and get back to you Thanks Brad

[@jfroggett6811]

Have you ever landed a fish? The line must ALWAYS come centrally off the front of the spade!

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Thank you for getting in touch and to answer you question yes I have caught loads of fish over the years that I have been fishing Tight lines 👍🏻🎣 Brad

[@tonywatson8647]

Must admit fishing for a bit now but since watching your videos it’s getting better. Could you send me a way to contact you when I need more info

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

tony watson Hi Tony Thanks for the great comment and I’m really glad the videos have helped If you want to contact me at all you can either message me on here On Instagram @brads_angling_adventures Or email: [e-mail] Thanks Brad Tight lines 👍🏻🎣

[@rickbenash9384]

Good video but you need to use a bigger hook. Must be fishing for minnows

[@davidjones5344]

Shouldn't the line come towards instead of away from the hook ....this aids with hooking the fish and it's how I've seen them when I've bought ready made hooklenths However, good video as this hooktyer has had me baffled for years and now I can finally use it so Thanks a lot 👍

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Thanks for getting in touch Yes the line is supposed to come off the front I will be making a new video on it but with things that have been going on ie COVID-19 and family issues I just haven’t got around to doing But it’s on my list 😂 Glad it helped you though Thanks Brad

[@nathanhunt8598]

[@Bradsanglingadventures]

Hi Nathan Thanks so much for the nice comments it means a lot to me when ever I help someone out Thanks again Brad👍🏻🎣
