Carp Fishing - The Wafter Rig Challenge (rigs don't matter)
Vložit

- Carp fishing rigs can be very confusing simply because there are so many out there! Carp anglers tend to blame their rigs if they blank when in reality all rigs will work and you just need to use your knowledge of watercraft to find where the fish will feed. In this video my wafter rig challenge I attempt to catch 6 carp on 6 rigs in a day session to prove they all work and hopefully help you realise you donned to worry about rigs and just focus on which one is easiest for you personally to tie then find the fish! Also I announce the winner of the sunlessa head torch.

Definitely my favourite carp angler your video's are just so easy to watch keep up the good work top man 👍
Thanks fella much appreciated I'm filming again next week 👌
Another great blog Simon! Your vids are always so informative and great to get more idea's 👏👌👍
Thank you Paul very much appreciated 👍👌
xD 16:16 looked like the fish said "pretty happy with that"
😂It totally did say that
Great video and food for thought. Thanks mate, it's been an eye opener!
Cheers fella really appreciate it 👌👍
Thanks for that Simon really enjoy that.👍👍
Cheers fella glad you enjoyed it 👌
Yet anther great vlog, always exploring new ideas. I’ve used the same running rig with a 2 oz leads & stiff braid hooklinks for over 25 years now & I’m still catching on them now - Albeit a bit more refined with wafters or bottom baits. The less knots used the better I always say. Wafters are double handy if you don’t know the lake bottom & want to get one on the fish quickly.
Tight lines fella 👍🏻
Cheers fella much appreciated. I definitely agree to find what works for you and stick with it until you find a situation it doesn't work lol
Brilliant video that something really different , Certainly makes you think! 👍
Cheers mate appreciate it 👍👌
Great watch as always simon most lake's I fish take most rigs but my favourite spinner & basic knotless knot do the di look forward to the next vid 🎣 🎣👊👊👊👊👊
Thanks fella tight lines 👍👌
like your stuff mate , truely independant thought not found very offen , keep it up
Thanks mate massively appreciated 🙌
KD is my go to rig
I like the KD but find it's prone to tangles especially if small fish mess about with it!
Very informative! Nice work Simon! Particularly impressed with the clone rig but most seemed decent hook holds! Point proven.
Thanks mate much appreciated as always 👍👌
So many different scenarios to put into the equation water clarity substrate etc there is no wonder rig it’s location bait application and watercraft and definitely what you’ve confident in I believe very interesting to see Simon though good vlog keep up the good work it’s our passion the more knowledge we have the better we all become tight lines brother 🤙🏻
Cheers fella it's all about the knowledge. I love experimenting to see what happens and sometimes the results can be very interesting 👌😉
Nice one Simon you really put some work in your blogs but rig safety is best for carp witch I think you have covered b4 hand. Keep up with your blogs. Look forward to the next update 🦈👍
Cheers John very much appreciated 👌👍
Great vid Simon! With the slip d rig I use shrink tubing to make a kicker and have def found it made a difference with the hook hold
Great tip!
Really enjoyed this and subbed off the back of it. 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Great vid mate keep up the good work
Thanks Richard much appreciated. I'm filming the next one on the 22nd 😉
well done simon that was interesting
Thanks Terry 👍👌
Nice 1 m8 as always quality vid
Thanks fella really appreciate that 👍👌
Nice one simon food for thought
Cheers and thanks for watching 👍
Awesome buddy awesome..
Thanks mate much appreciated
Interestingly, I've had a lot of fish on the 'standard' knotless knot rig over the years, until the start of last year it was my go to for everywhere.
I've started using the slip d rig and had some good results with both bottom baits and pop ups, the hook hold tends to be in the middle of the bottom lip most times.
Cheers for your comment mate. I've played with the slip D. I like it but my only concern was that the D can twist round the hook causing the bait to stick on the hook point. I like to use a rigid material for the D to stop this happening 😉
No worries, thanks for the video and reply!
The only rig i have used for years is a multi rig so i can change the hooks. I use it for wafters and pop ups, complete simplicity
I must admit when I have used a multi it gave really good hook holds. 😉
Hey Simon, great vid. Was gutted not to see the German or the multi as I’m experimenting with these currently. Awesome anyway 👊🏼 ps. With your blowback rig do you always have to use some form of pva to ensure no hair tangle?
Hi mate I've been chopping and changing rigs a lot lately but couldn't use them all in this vid! The ones you mentioned will of course work too! Yes I usually use a PVA mesh bag or foam nugget to stop the hair tangles 😉
The d rig was being used long before Korda and Danny Fairbrass made it popular
Yes you're right there's nothing really new about rigs these days they just get renamed and made with different materials I guess
Simon love your vlogs sir but the short stiff d rig I was using in 90s it was called the swimmer rig in rod Hutchinson mag long time ago
Not sure I get your point but thanks for watching 👌
The iq2 rig is deadly but i always find it hooks in all kinds of places roof of mouth side of the mouth very rarely central bottom lip for me. But I know it works I caught 8 fish In a hour once in the edge and was almost every fish picking it up was a fish on bank
Yeah it seems a good rig although dodgy hook holds can lead to mouth damage so I may leave that rig alone 👍
I think I need to start taking a tea tray fishing
Makes a good place to store your biscuits 😂
I fish both match style and carp style. I can tell you fishing for this size fish that you will land more on a size 16 with a banded pellet. You will catch more too.
I agree mate and I've done well on method feeder with pellets on this lake. However there are carp up to 25lb in the lake and catfish up to 50lb so I tend to gear up for them incase I get lucky. Also I wanted to test the rigs and this lake gives the chance of a few bites this time of year 👌
Top🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks mate 👌
Had most of mine on boiles this year and one on a wafter rig , it’s location not rigs I believe 🤷♂️
Yep 100% agreed 👍👌
Exactly u can't catch what's not in your swim..swim choice is 90 % of angling .the best anglers have a knack of picking the right spots at the right times ..
Great video showing that all the rigs work, obviously there are rigs for certain situations like "Helicopter" or the "Chod" for very weedy and or silty lakes
Thanks mate yes certain rigs have their place and it's definitely important to know what you're fishing over and choose a rig or lead setup to suit 👌
Makes sense, can I ask what bivvy you are using in this video. Thanks
The fox frontier mate 👌
@@SimonDewCarpFishing any chance of a quick review
Just buy one fella I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm in no way affiliated with Fox by the way but these bivvies are spot on 👌
Great video, the way you do this is perfect. Abo to you is safe 👌🏻
Greetings from Germany
Thank you very much!
Depends on the water I sneakerly saw someone's rig once and tied one up 20 mins best fish 47lb followed by brace off 20ts on a water and spot I fished with little success for a year to then catch most off them 😂 rigs don't make a differnce on a 600 fish venue though just my own observation
I think it's more down to rig length and baiting situation etc the actual rig as long as its tied well with good mechanics really doesn't make a difference 👍
Great vlog until the music started 😢 nearly started crying 😅
Can't please everyone mate what type of music do you prefer?
Could do without the suicidal music mate but nice vid otherwise 😂
Curious, did u back lead here?
Apologies if the music wasn't to your taste fella 😂yes I use back leads just to try and avoid the fish going through the other lines during the fight 👌
What bivvy this in the video, looks good?
Fox frontier mate 👌
@@SimonDewCarpFishing ahh sweet, that's the new one isn't it?
The palm test is totally useless, last time I checked carp don't have hands?
No but they have a soft lower lip which is the area we are targeting so the palm test let's you know if the rig turns when the hook length is tightened 👍
Its not about the rigs working ,,its about what kind of damage these rigs do to the carps mouth,, in my opinion, some rigs are lethal to the carps mouth
Yes I agree and one of the things I consider when choosing rigs. A better hook hold does less damage which is why I won't use certain rigs 👌
Maybe try it on another lake which isnt an overstocked puddle??
I needed 6 fish in 8 hours so I went to a runs water what's your point? 🤷🏻♂️
@@SimonDewCarpFishing fishing a lake where the fish are highly dependent on anglers bait is hardly a true reflection on whether a rig works better than another surely??
I'm not trying to prove if one rig is better than another, just that they all work so we shouldn't worry so much about which rig we use. The only way I could do that was go somewhere I was likely to catch on each rig 👍
@@SimonDewCarpFishing but we know they work, it's been done a million times in mags and online, all you have done is shown on a heavily stocked water, all rigs we know will catch fish, catch fish
You're missing the point entirely. Not all anglers have experience with rigs. There are newcomers to the sport who won't have tried or read about all these rigs. I merely wanted to have a bit of fun and see if I could catch on them all to take the worry out of choosing rigs for less experienced people. Out of all the many comments on this video, yours is the only negative one maybe that says something about you 🤔
My channel is all about helping people especially beginners and its free to watch. It takes a lot of time, effort and money to produce the videos so maybe think about it before you comment 👍
