Few hours Roach Fishing back in late March
zhlédnutí 103Před 3 měsíci
On a rare dry day in late March I had a few hours spare on a Sunday evening. With the days starting to draw out a bit id definetly manage a few hours Roach fishing on my local pond just up from the shop. Kit was kepted to a minium with just a waggler rod and a bomb / feeder rod. A few bits of bait, maggots pinkies Fjuka pellets so nothing special and it was all I needed to catch a few Roach. To...
Large pole float winders

Large pole float / float winders. With most manufacturers winders being sized towards smaller commercial size floats, when it comes to storing floats for big open waters and or Bolo floats stick floats and the likes. The good old Italian company Stonfo make winders up to 35cm long. We have been stocking these winders for years now, so it your after a winder for a tiny 4x10 canal float to a big ...
Looking after your Pole Elastic
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 4 měsíci
Pole elastic is a very important part of your pole set up, and can easily be over looked as far as mantaining its life span. Pole elastic will dry out, you may notice that when you purchase new elastic it has a nice sort of oily film to it. Over time this washes off / drys out meaning the elastic can start to become brittle and rough thus failing. Silicone pole elastic lubricant goes a long way...
Protecting those pole sections
zhlédnutí 4,1KPřed 4 měsíci
We all spend a lot of money on our poles, and some of the mot expensive sections can be to most vulnerable to damage especially when shipping backwards even on to pole rollers. By fittting a simple device like a pole butt protector or skid bung as they are commonly known, can help save the end of your sections from damage. In this clip I take a brief look at two different types of skid bungs th...
Stonfo Pole float shotter
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 6 měsíci
Brief look at the Stonfo Dosapiombo. Dosapiombo in a neutrally buoyant device for shotting pole floats. This clever device allows you to clip a pole float in to the top of it then place shot around the basket until the float sits correctly in the water. This allows you to double check the shotting capacity for the float, This is extremely useful when setting up multible floats of the same patte...
A bit of hook preparation for the canal
zhlédnutí 150Před 9 měsíci
A little bit of preparation for fishing the canal. Tying plenty of hooks should be an important part of your preparation. Yes you can tie them on the bank but that takes time. And trying to tie small hooks like 22’s and 24’s on the bank is not easy. We spend more time off the bank than on so why use precious bank time tying hooks when you can do that at home. For my canal fishing I’m using Haya...
Few hours fishing Zouch Canal
zhlédnutí 601Před 9 měsíci
I've not had a lot of spare time of late to get out on the canal what with committment on the Soar Valley winter league. So managed to grab a few hours on my local canal cut in early October. Simple fishing with only bait I could find at home. A few worms dug up in the garden, a slice of bread a pack of Fjuka micros. Hand full of supercup and same of punch crumb. All resulted in plenty of bites...
Pole elastics for River fishing

Lets take a brief look at pole elastics for the river. An incite into to the elastics I use here on the river Soar but will be perfect for many other rivers up and down the country. With open season fast approching nows the time to get that last minute prep done. I recommend Middy solid elastics, through the first section of your pole. Middy solids have been around for a long time now and still...

Soar Tackle Pole Sections, a Comparison.
Good hooks. I've used them for a while now.
Maybe have a bit of a "Promo'" bud, and give some Caps away ?? Are the hooks Ready tied, Loose, of both ?
Aye yes something we’ll be putting together in not to distant future 👍 Hooks are loose, they do do a very limited range in pre tied but not sure if they’ll expand that or bring them over to the UK.
Hi just wondering is it the Loughborough soar angling society to fish it or is it another
Hi, it’s the opposite bank to Loughborough Soar. Part of cranes pond, it’s nice as you can more or less part behind you peg.
Thanks for the video. I make my rigs up using a Rigmate and check them directly in my water butt. (Obviously, no good for your demonstration)
A water butt is perfect for checking rigs 👍👍
The smallest shot I can use is a no.8. Anything smaller I find impossible to handle.
Smaller shot are far from easy to use unfortunately. Have you tried slot shot or styles? They tend to be easier to use as they’re normally softer. Also being an oblong shape they’re easier to handle. 👍
Excellent clear explanation.
Thank you 👍😊
cheers scott..very informative i wondered what they were
Welcome Mark, and thank you for the comment :-)
It was recommended by a guy who worked in the tackle shop to just use the wife's, Hair Conditioner, with a bit of water, just enough to loosen it mind. I haven't used anything else & works Great!!
Aye yes can't see why that wouldn't work. Should smell nice to LOL
Yep', don't be fooled by un necessary, Tackle Tart stuff (£6) when there's stuff, just as good already in the bathroom.
Nice video and that's very helpful .
Good video hope to see more
How do I get mate
Hi mate. We have them in the shop or they're available through our shop website. www.soartackle.co.uk/dosapiombo-float-shotter-718-p.asp Cheers Scott
Hi could you please tell how i could get a couple of those cards mate , i can't for the life of me work out pole float capacity and shot weights etc ,help confused 🙄
Hay up mate hopefully this will work for you. If you go to this link it will take you to my useful guides. You'll be able to down load print off from there. Cheers Scott stickfloat.wordpress.com/2020/11/23/useful-guides/
Cheers mate will help me a lot just getting back into coarse fishing after a very long time things have changed so much really need videos like yours to catch up with all the latest methods 👍😀
Your very welcome. Top tip in getting back is to keep things simple. Prep at home so your not wasting time on the bank. :-)
@@SoartackleCoUk I bought my pole of youse a middy muscle tech 6 mtr with a few extra extensions 4 and 4 top kits I bought 2 packs of 3 sensas 1.50 mtr hollow tips and cut them down to suit the bushes for the 3 sizes of middy solid elastics you recommended and use this set up for all my pole silver fishing great kit ,I actually bought another muscle tech 6 for spares , I actually regularly fish it with all the extensions and the butt from the other pole getting me about 11.5 mtrs and not a bother tempted to go longer but can't seem to source spares anymore because I think middy have stopped trading any idea what's happening with them ,anyway sorry for rattling on ,what you think of my setup ?be nice to get an experienced anglers opinion regards owen
Hi mate, Set up sounds good to me. So long as it works for you that is the main thing. Stick to your 11 mtr its more than enough id of thought for most places. You could always chuck a waggler or a small feeder/bomb for your longer line. Sounds like your doing bob on with elastic choice. :-) As for MIddy they are still around. The original owners retired and sold the company. The new owners have annouced they hoping to have everything back up and running in March. They have been posting about stuff on Facebook.
Dont listen to him that mud line is his flyer in spring/summer
Posh bit of kit
I put line through & use my kettle to trim my floats in .
Brilliant, thanks Scott
Very welcome
Really helpfull mate cheers 👍🏻
Welcome mate 😊
Awesome stuff - can’t wait !! 😊
Like wise 👍
@@SoartackleCoUk Alan norrish is going to come as well mate. Help me with a few bits. Hope that’s ok 👍
Not a problem at all
Learnt something new here. That the bush is in 2 components! I've fitted a couple of these s-slides and pushed them as a single component. Now I know why I struggled! I put a dab of loctite on them just to make sure they don't move or pop out. Thanks for this short video. Very helpful
Welcome Jim, find you get a really good fit doing it that way. One thing I forgot to mention was that if you slightly twist the soft part left and right during fitting. That really settles it home.
@Soar Tackle yeah that's how I got it to settle in the hole. Twist left and right as you gently ease it into the drilled hole. Once settled it sits perfectly and in my mind the small dab of epoxy just gave me ease of mind. Probably not needed but I thought belt and braces. I'll be back for some middy top kits soon from you. Great service 👏
👍👍
hii
👍🏻👍🏻
Just order a pack of 3 .. look forward to trying them ..
Going to be a touch warm over the coming day so they’ll be perfect. Especially if your able to go early in the morning or evening when fish will be rising for any fly hatch. Good luck let us know how you get on with them 👍
do you have a worm additive? I can't remember if you made your own or was it something else you made?
Have it made for us Andy, but they’re struggling to get hold of the carrier component so not had any for a while. Hopefully I’ll have some before long though.
@@SoartackleCoUk yes, everyone has the same problem, Can't get any from any brand.
Can also make them into "Sticky Maggs" using Angel Delight Desert powder from the Food Cupboard - I keep some old out of date Angel Delight just for that. Don't waste your money on Sticky Magg' powder from the Tackle shop!!
Youre doing a great job mate, thanks for all the info
Fantastically explained Mate Cheers.
Thank you Alan, Hopefully get some more done soon.
Cheers
Your welcome Steve
Can you reuse these float stops at all
Hi Steven, unfortunatly the rubber floats stop are a single use thing. Although bet someone has come up with away of rethreading them. You could use pellet waggler adaptors of which you can re use. www.soartackle.co.uk/middy-pellet-float-adaptor-2958-p.asp Hope thats of help
Nice 1 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Great for when on the feeder as they always remain with your groundbait and don’t riggle off👍🏻
Yes very much so. Think it’s a miss conception that maggots have to be live to use them. Dead pinkies are another great one. If your fishing a silty venue dead maggots / pinkies are the way to go. As you say they won’t burrow in to the silt
@@SoartackleCoUk on busy venues in my opinion dead’s are going to get hammered more then live bait as the fish are presuming the dead’s have been on the deck for a while 👍🏻
Yep 👍 can look more natural. Also if maggots burrow in the silt fish tend to dig for them stirring loads of crap up of the bottom which can mask any hook bait and or cause foul hooking
In northern Italy we are more or less in the same conditions with the rivers. cheers mate ...
Is that through Snow melt or just rain ?
A little bit of both ... perhaps more because of the heavy snow from the mountains and the warm weather in the last weeks ...
Click this video .. interesting..I like nature..nice video sharing..
Bloody good vidio couldn't make it any simpler 👍
Thank Mickie 😊👍
Can they be refrozen if they're not all used after thawing, or will they turn to much if frozen more than once? Cheers mate.
I’ve never tried it, might be worth ago though 👍
Yes they can be re used. Try putting them in a bait box, fill it with water and then freeze them in the water. Defrost when you want to use them and use them out of the water they were frozen in. They freeze alot better this way and look alot better than just freezing them in a bag.
@@clivecarpenter9374 thanks for the tip.
Nice one Clive will try that myself 👍
Thank you for creating this content, I’m a new female angler and utilising you tube to lean as much as I can!
Thank you 😊 lots in my head to get out on here. I find far to much is actually aimed at those that are already anglers and possibly not explained properly. Enjoy your fishing 👍
