Video

A very good tried and tested setup literally perfect for all rough ground use!

@@martinking9663 thanks Martin for sharing it is a good set up, I've seen many dongle rigs tied different but still work the same, tight lines m8 👍🎣🎣🎣

Like you said and this rig is definitely more suited to big big baits where the likes of pullys would never work. If the target species have teeth then it's wire not mono. I said the same as you but I done as I was taught, failed at first because I didn't use crimping pliers, but once I did, it hasn't failed yet. I may persuade david to do a video on stress testing to show knots V Crims.

@@martinking9663 l cheat here as lve seen all this evolve first hand , when l first started going to RSA and Namibia 20 years ago when they hadn't progressed passed a flapping patornoster, multis and mono. Times have a changed quickly since then, like us they are reactive imaginative inventive anglers to improve their angling and catch their fast depleating fish stocks. Video and testing crimps be very interesting, l know it' ll hold up here at home, but Crimps are a no no for me, just personal preference, on mono or steel traces on Big fish away. I liked your hook set up by the way is particularly good initiative idea the powergum, something l used for multiple purposes since it came out.

@davidmilne9911 yeah it's crazy seeing them all on the beaches and rock ends for the comps! But what's even more bonkers is all the locals swimming out with a trawler net practically and hauling it all in by had! 🤯 Glad you liked the tips mate 👍 I'd be lost without my power gun tbh hahaha I've used it under the pully beads to register bites better so it acts like a patonoster and can still pull through like the pully.

@@martinking9663 yeah probably my go to trace mostly on rough and tidal marks that need a bit distance, short stop pulley l called it, used it for so many years l cannot remember and ofcouse the powergum makes it possible great minds think alike🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😎🎣👍🏽

How does it fish? May borrow that idea off you for the beach work.

@@martinking9663 it fishes great, I also only use small hooks with fat gauges like sakuma octopus and chinu hooks, then called it the sliding uno pat rig. And with it being a sort of uno rig, on the bottom you can have a 6 foot snood length if you ever need it. Pulley systems is all is use on my big gear and swear by them. And ye, go for it, experiment, that's what I do to 😉

Glad you found some useful tips. That's just the tip of my knowledge base and unfortunately there isn't enough space on CZcams to hear me waffle on 😂 tight lines

Would be a bit boring if it was just silence 🙄

@@Jeff-d7e granted, but you need to take a breath now and again, some people just like the sound of their own voice

​@johndodd4375 thanks for the feedback, I was asked to talk about a different style not common here in the UK so quite a lot of explanation for those who are interested, took a lot to actually talk on camera so perhaps a little nervous also. I'm absolutely not fond of my own voice hate how I sound tbh, usually a 1 man angler and let my fishing do the talking. Tight lines 👍

@@martinking9663 I love the fact you are humble, good on you mate. Tight lines 👍

Why's that mate?

@@martinking9663 Oh just me, those hooks never strike me as having the best hooking abilities due to their shape.

@davidoldboy5425 They hook very we'll and is what's used for bigger specimen all over the world. Because of the design, they only lip hook. Good for returning fish.

@@martinking9663 Do you lose many fish on them?

@davidoldboy5425 no mate non at all lip hooked or in the scissors every time. Only time I've lost fish when using that hook is when the lead didn't brake free. I've had skate, rays, dogfish, tope, huss, cod, bass, hounds, cob, bronzie, even down to rocking, dab, place ect brilliant for fish conservation especially with your flat fish. Couldn't recommend the hooks enough. Only time I'll use J hooks is when I'm pennaling large squid or comp fishing when I know they are coming home to eat.

Good rod the triplex, had 1 a few year ago but sold it when I took a break from the sport. Big regret

@@martinking9663 I bet mate. What was the biggest regret taken a break or selling the rod? I could never do either

@Madmicksoutdooractivities I had to take the break unfortunately so that wasn't much of a decision, I could have hung onto the rod but it was money better off used elsewhere. So, while it was a regret, it was out of necessity.

@@cupholder3120 cheers mate glad you enjoyed 👍

@@vinniebarbarino-1 cheers Vinnie much appreciated 🙏👍

@@martinking9663 thank you 👍

That's pulling it through the kelp and it scrapped well. I've had double figure hounds not fight that well

@@markwilson4568 cheers Mark thanks for watching. As Martin says, it put up a scrap well beyond its size 💪 th is for watching and tight lines 🙋‍♂️👍

@@bertbasset8961 cheers Bert. Yep, fresh definitely had the edge. Tight lines 🙋‍♂️

Top secret prep with the squid takes about a week hahaha, definitely not for those who have a weak gag reflex. There 1 mark local that fishes very well on the "prepped" squid.

Hi Martin be good to know your crimp method. Tried it before but not confident in the crimps as some could be pulled apart. Went straight back to knots 👌

​@nickpalfreyman4627 I had the same issue but I was just using pliers, then got a SA education, they only use knots 40lb or less rest is crimps. You must use proper crimping pliers, can't stress it enough. Never had 1 part since plus it makes it so much quicker to make with 0 strength loss.

@@nickpalfreyman4627 thanks very much Nick. Yep, always fun and interesting to understand different approaches for sure, keeps it interesting. Thanks for watching and tight lines 🙋‍♂️

Unfortunately I don't. Not sure people would want to watch me, face for radio and swear a lot. Probably call myself the angry angler or something, be a laugh though

@@user-yh5hc7zv9r thanks mate appreciate that. Certainly is, not for the faint hearted! Tight lines 🙋‍♂️

@@micksly7570 cheers Mick glad you enjoyed 👍

@@davidkennedy5421 certainly is David. Low water area really but work out paid to fishing the best time of the tide. Thanks for watching and tight lines 🙏🙋‍♂️

@@andrewashman3333 haha it was that night Andrew, bloody freezing!

@@bigbaz9335 cheers mate glad you enjoyed it. Yeah always nice to see a lovely marked kelpie like that one for the camera! Tight lines 🙋‍♂️

@@LevosAnglingAdventures cheers Levi mate really appreciate that🙏 same to you re the casting, you’ve got a good smooth style 👌🏻 tight lines mate 👍

@@MrMerciless67 cheers mate, sure you’ll master it 💪👍

@@paulvintis4713 you’re very welcome Paul glad you enjoyed.

@@arniec5707 thanks Arnie much appreciated. It’s the 10000PG which is enough, the 14k will be overkill for the NE I’d suggest. Tight lines 🙋‍♂️👍

Brilliant mate thank's 👍🏻 I'll get one ordered

@@kurtiscarpenter3502 sounds brilliant Kurtis! Glad you got a few. Thanks for watching 👍

@@jamierouse5455 I didn’t actually Jamie, I’ll have to re watch!

@@michaelstoker316 cheers Michael much appreciated 🙏 it’s a Saragossa SW 10000PG, not going to give you max distance, but great as a strong winch for the kelp👍

@@Spannerface exactly mate👍

@@petermcfarlane9674 cheers Peter hope you’re well. Sure that bass will bite soon enough!

@@Mark-ml6yk cheers Mark much appreciated. For heavy ground work definitely the Saragossa, it’ll not cast as far but is so much more solidly built and has a better handle for winching through the kelp. Hope that helps.

@@neil.23 good to know Neil. Tight lines 🙋‍♂️

Or dare I say bass ....

Or dare I say bass ....

Bit of an echo in here....😅

@@michaelkraljic8425 haha! I’ll have a look, I missed it! 🤦

@@AllyMac-ic6tv thanks Ally much appreciated. I like them, never had a problem to be honest. The trident figures of 8’s as I call them create more resistance meaning that the hook length doesn’t pull through as easy and there’s more chance of a fish getting hooked. But yeah that system sounds good too, I’ll have to try it one time.

@@Pablorumps555 ah hard lines mate. Didn’t look half bad too. Tight lines 🙋‍♂️

@@keithrobinson7346 really appreciate the kind words mate, thanks very much. Glad you’re enjoying. Tight lines and tha so for watching 🙏👍

@@stephenkerr1002 cheers Stephen much appreciated 🙏

@@charlieharrison9088 cheers Charlie thanks very much mate. Mmm good question, the SS feels lighter and not quite as stiff in the tip, but my Evo is unique in that it has a beefed up tip which is probably why. The Komp feels slightly more user friendly but to be honest there’s not a lot in them.

@@rogertaylor7109 cheers Roger much appreciated 🙏 yeah he’s a good service 👍

@@remskicodhead1 thanks mate much appreciated 🙏

@@erichall6797 cheers Eric much appreciated. Nice reels, touch too slow on the retrieve, made of the Ci4 material which I’m not sold on for heavy ground after prolonged use. Just my view, sure others will think differently.
