Why YOU NEED to be using BACKSHOT | Match Fishing Tips

[@davidabbott8856]

I just love these two guys I am a new pole user at the age of 71 and have learned loads of good stuff from both of them. They are very informative and very entertaining, they just work so well together. Keep up the good work, cant wait to get out with my pole and practice what I am learning.

[@grahamnash9794]

Having been a keen angler for over 30 years, I don't ofrten see anything I've not seen before. Lot's of you tubers show, and teach everything there is to know, covering all aspects of the sport. But there are only a couplr of those channels I keep going back to. Not for the instruction, but the entertainment value. This is one of them. Thanks Guy's, you keep me coming back.

[@masterliver101]

As usual couldn't sleep. My goto videos are you mad fellas. What a great tip this is. Ok m relatively new to pole fishing so trying an inexpensive but branded 8m at the moment and because of this it's a bit hard to control...my technique not the best yet but this will help my presentation more than anything I've seen yet. Taaa lads.

[@fishingfan5572]

Its really refreshing to see some fisherpeople (thanks 2020) being a bit silly, comical and not taking themselves too serious. You two, Carl and Alex and the snagged bros are my favorite fishing influences. Keep up the good work, I'd love to see you 2 and Carl and Alex having a match. One of their Carl vs Alex with pros. That would be a class video

[@WinningWays]

Tell them to get in touch! :)

Rich, Carl, Alex and a viewer vs Andy and Jamie !

[@gavinbutler6786]

Jamie and Andy your explanations are clear and easy to understand although you do it in different ways. Brilliant video, cheers lads!

[@paulsomersetwolf5970]

Must admit I sink my back shot as well and it works well for me great vid as usual guys love all your challenge's always a great and funny watch👍🎣

[@steveraynor2946]

Nice one chaps, I can see the benefits of both methods, the hardest bit for me is, what conditions to use one over the other. Choices ,choices.

[@andymarr8239]

Great video guys deffo makes sense now thanks to the best lads on the circuit

[@bagger7561]

Can see how both back shot patterns help 👍 Awesome vid again lads

[@ginge5168]

How is this channel only got 20k subscribers come on let’s get it to 100k 👍🏻🎣 come on the subscribers 😉

[@stevedavies75]

Brilliant. Depending on the day I do a mixture of what you both said...so you're both right if I use both! 👊💪

[@chrisjames1987]

Another great video Lads will be definitely using back shots from now on 👍🏻

[@ihcfn]

Thanks, always wanted more of an in depth look at why and how to use back shot.

[@stevesmith6834]

Fun and informative. I use a back shot on the river all the time but not so often on a lake. Certainly using these learnings next time on a lake. Thank you

[@leafysfishing]

Does the back shot contribute to the weight needed for your float

[@JeffOrtega33]

great insight to back shotting and reasons thanks gents

[@arnevandoorne]

Finaly a detail video about backshot!

[@markwhibley9787]

Spot on, I’m sold. The curve in the rig is very interesting too, Iv not used back shots unless fishing paste but I will be changing that.

[@TheThomo25]

Have u tried using an in-line Olivette for paste fishing? Works a treat & stops any tangles 👍

[@markwhibley9787]

Nick Thomas I have when fishing deeper but I mainly use Big H floats that are self cocking so the paste dots it down if you have plumbed up very accurately ☑️

[@markhollins9803]

Great lnfo lads I will be giving this a try next time I'm out

[@ianrichardson5160]

best due about, great explanations and keep it simple, I never stop learning. Cheers

[@andyhill8236]

Nice and simple and so easy to understand

[@madbrad5596]

does the back shots if its in the water change the contribute to the weight of the float am just learning how to pole fish really hard to no what am doing at time but these video help so much love them there awesome never go away

[@minuet15]

Brilliant , just learnt so much in 10 minutes

[@simonchaddock3694]

Great set of guys these too love the humour 2

[@andrewtidmarsh3796]

Brilliant explanations there as always

[@johncreed7463]

That clears up a few doubts

[@stephenmonaghan5766]

After watching that I can only see Jamie's being the best way. Everything is sunk and you can control the height of the float too. Very adaptable and in a gale it's surely better than tipex stots wafting about lol

[@markryan7824]

Oooshhhhh another 1 in the bag boys👌😎

[@AirwolfBMG]

Two different but both work the way THEY want them to.👍

[@krislee2587]

What weight back shot should be used or does it depends on the float ??

[@richardpope1884]

On the method used by Jamie is the amount of back shot used included in the weight required to set the float as it's fished in the water or by keeping a tight line to the back shot does this mean that it doesn't actually form part of the shotting weight? I can see that it wouldn't using Andy's method as it is held out of the water.

[@WinningWays]

No the back shot is additional weight so if you let everything come into play the float will sink. With the way Jamie does it with it being over half way up the line, the only way this can happen is if you sink the tip of your pole underwater.

[@leafysfishing]

Do you use a back shot when muggin?

[@stanny1809]

Great advice. My question why did fisheries bring in the rule of amount of line between pole tip and float? When I used to match fish this rule never existed

[@WinningWays]

Just to stop people sliding the float all the way up and effectively fishing a direct rig.

[@martinwood713]

Well sold 👏

[@ukfemaleangler6513]

I fish with an elasticated whip predominantly with shop bought rigs and am always messing around cutting them down, trying to minimise tip to float length to maximize strike success......would you advise trying to attach a back weight to a shop bought rig instead?

[@ukfemaleangler6513]

I haven't graduated to tying my own rigs yet!! This is the end of my first session!

[@WinningWays]

Well worth trying, should help you out :)

[@antnewbon2673]

I fish with a fixed spool and rod. Is this method transferable.

[@WinningWays]

Nope, only needed on the pole 👍🏻

[@antnewbon2673]

@@WinningWays I cannot stand poles they anoy me to the point that I'd snap them but good to know bud. Thanks. 👍

[@markwareham2963]

wow im so far away think i need to chuck mi gear in lake and go back to pub x

[@WinningWays]

Just an excuse to do more fishing and practice :D

[@leafysfishing]

If you sink it is it used as weight towards your float.. if that makes sense lol

[@FishingMadDad]

Jamie's makes more sense to be fair. 😜👍

[@solidcold9491]

Ive had bites by lift and dropping my backshot to make ripples.

[@assuredantiques1832]

I actually thought Andy had the better soloution for this

[@ianssight2785]

I'd hate to show favoritism. Can I paint the shot 'fluffy' like Andy's and use Jamies technique?

[@andymcmillan9260]

The two people who disliked this are obviously pike fisherman.

[@ginge5168]

Andy McMillan or carp anglers sat in there bivvy drinking tea and smoking weed
