Everytime my mind starts to wander with regards to rigs, i watch this video and it pulls me back out the rabbit hole. Simple is best.
Gotta love Crowie, he cuts out all the bs and says it how it is!
Thanks for watching!
Mate couldn’t agree more. He’s literally the only angler I actually listen to with intent to copy his advice. He’s a top bloke
Funny how, 'line aligners' have suddenly become 'the rig of the moment', it's something that has been around for about about thirty five years. You only need to read what Jim Gibbinson had written in the early 1990's about this 'rig', to see where the idea came from...
Perfectly explained why, how and when to use it. True masterclass, well done Si.
The man himself, well done crowie🎣
Thanks for watching!
I've fished the exact same rig for years always Done me well
Keep it simple 👌 well done Simon 👍
Thanks for watching!
I can't get my head around the mechanics of the line aligner, you'd think it would make it easier for the carp to eject due to closing down gape
Great, clear explanation.
Thanks for watching John!
Great video. Do you ever add putty to pin your rig down in certain situations or do you like the free movement of the supple braid?
I prefer the free movement of the braid but occasionally I will pin it down, such as in very shallow water when the carp see things better
@@SimonCrow excellent. Thanks for taking the time to reply 👍
@@Mylo831 Anytime pal, thanks for watching
To me one of the best anglers around, my question is why si don't you tie your hair 1st then set out how long you want it ? Is it just how you learnt ? To me it seems easier to do the hair 1st interesting vid tho 👍
Cheers pal. I don't do it your way because - although it's marginal - as you tighten the knotless knot and bed it down, it can affect the hair length. I like my hookbait in a specific spot (touching the bend of the hook). It has to be tight but not too tight. Even a tiny adjustment to the hair length isn't how I want it, so I tie this part last.
@@SimonCrow fair play bud suppose ppl do it differently for their own confidence wasn't a dig or anything just curiosity 👍
@@SimonCrow just another question bud would an extender stop not alter the position of the hook bait ?
@@bennicholson191 Yes mate but I find them fiddly to use 😂
@@SimonCrow 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
why not tie the hair loop before tying up the rig?
By doing it this way it allows you to have multiple hook links tied with long untied hairs for a multitude of bait 👍🏼
Fantastic video, and explanation Simon. I really enjoy your videos 👍
Hi what size hook would you use for 15mm boilie size 6?
Yes mate size 6 or 8 👍
@@SimonCrow do you use a bottom bait or a wafter for this rig ?
Great vid buddy
Thanks for watching!
Great video !
The reason that a rig can pull through the eye of a hook is simple. You need to whip the knot less knot on the opposite side to where the small gap is.
Sorry pal but that won't stop it... Some eyes aren't completely closed and the fibres from braid somehow make their way out of the eye when playing fish (the twisting and turning). That's why using a line aligner or piece of tubing helps
@@SimonCrow I had a spell years back where I’d hook into a fish and all of a sudden it was gone and the hook had come off. Not snapped but the hook missing. I’d been using a different hook and after looking the bend was closed opposite side to my normal hooks. All I had to do to stop it happening was to whip the hook link away from the closure and it worked.. well it worked in that situation and thought this maybe the same.
Anyway, keep the videos coming Simon. Love em.
@@nickblades9024 All the best Nick and thanks for watching 👍
first comment cant wait
Thanks for watching!
@@AvidCarpFishingTV great video deffo going to use this rig
@@anthonysfishingadventures3775 It most definitely works for Crowy. Simple yet effective. The photo album doesn't lie! 😜
Followed simon for years as he's an adopted Yorkshire man, never ever changes his rigs and his results speak for themselves. Top Angler 👍👍
How we managed well over 40 yrs ago is beyond me lol.
