These are small floats th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend the package is smaller than my hand just to provide perspective. That said I wanted small floats for the times I need to add one when trout fishing or fishing for panfish. The peg is perfect for my application where I want a set hold point that is quickly adjustable and want to be able to add the float without retying. That’s the real advantage here. You can add this float to your line without retying and adjust the depth easily with the peg so it won’t kink your line like a traditionalit. If I need to set this too deep then I’d switch over to ait with a thread stop to make casting easier. But like I said, these are a great value for the price I paid. Probably better suited to applications where your depth is 5-feet or less for the sake of casting.
Great video! watching these makes me need to get out and get the baits in the water! cheers
Do it Tim. sometimes we just need a gentle nudge
Great vid as always Paul.
thanks buddy
Thanks guys - nice and simple - going tomorrow for first time
Great video, I've never caught a pike in 41 years of fishing so that's hopefully going to change this year. I live next to the Wye so a lot of walking and casting lures is on the agenda.
nice one lads, full of good advice as usual 👍
cheers bud
Thanks lads good advice 👍🇬🇧
Brilliant tutorial. Thanks Guys.
Brilliant footage guys and good pointers great work as always
cheers pal. You all set for the winter piking?
River Piker just about bait in make new traces up in a few days new oil mix to try out temps dropping nicely up here
We've had a couple of scenic misty early mornings so its starting to get exciting. Weather is still all over though so not quite here for us yet. Good luck any pal, hope they are on the munch for you.
cracking video, edited well and flowed well
cheers Craig
Craig Maxwell "
Nice Video! Great shots 🔥🎬
Nice just went out and got me some dead bait trying it for the first time
Thank U For Showing This Video.
Good stuff as always mate.
cheers ar kid
Awesome video 👍🏻
cheers Matt
another cracking video lads, tight lines for the weekend!!
cheers Danny. Out tomorrow so hopefully some fish. good luck yourself bud catch a whacker
Nice simple set up. Use a similar one for catfish. I like the quick connect on the weight. Saves snapping the rig off. Nice few fish caught too.
cheers Paul
great video
Nice video! Many thanks!
cheers Jo
Love that bedlington lambkin 😊
Ace little dog. Poor thing went for a swim today. water was a bit choppy and in she went. Bit of a shock that was for her! lol
Great video, thanks.
cheers Mart
Cool video 😄✌🍀
🎣👍 good tips lads
cheers bud
looks fun! good job
Made a nice change Jake. Bit of chilled out, feet up with a brew fishing. Back on the lures tomorrow.
excellent video well filmed inspirational as always nice to see ady ant lost his touch
cheers buddy. Ady will always have the gift of the gab! lol
Great video
thanks Clayton
The key to this set up is to keep the weight stationary on the bottom when a fish takes, if the float is too buoyant for an under weighted lead, fish will toe the weight and result in increased dropped baits.
Use smallest float as possible with heavier leads.
A paper clip atratched to lead also makes a good quick release if snagged.
Good video
So, even though you use a bobber you let the bait hit the bottom anyway?
Cracking vid dog was chuffed as well.
Daisy seems to be settling in well now. Apart from leaving us a present in the landing net one day.....
Love the bedlington terrier....mine loves fishing too!
- Fantastic video mate. Really good quality footage and some great info. It isn’t the setup that I use so it has definitely given me some new ideas. Thankyou. I take it you anchor an area rather than fish them on the drift. Do you find this method more productive?
Great Vid
cheers Alan
I always do some pike fishing around Xmas it makes me feel xmasy
ha ha, lets hope santa gives you a nice big pike this christmas
Great video nice footage beautiful actors lol 😂
ha ha! Tom Cruise and Brad Pit of the piking world.
ace video realy good
cheers Sam, glad you enjoyed it mate. Looks like this one is a winner with a few.
good one!
thanks matey
You miles well ledger ,I always suspend bait when floating and never use them cheap floats ,rather more looking natural Cork
another quality watch bud🖒 looked a cracking place to run up and down on the kayaks😂😂
cheers pal. Yeah loads of water to go at. Need to get that kayak back out again i've not been on it for a while
we sold our boat last year and got yaks after watchin a few utube vids and never looked back...catch rate went well up😁😁 any kind of fishing is quality but....just got to love it🖒😁😁
get the yak out and make a vid🤔🤔🖒😁
Great vid,this is what piking has been to me for many years.
End tackle is so personal and i hate those poly floats.I admit to being a float snob.Or a twat....either way i prefer a balsa waggler for most of my ledgering in slack/slow water of the pencil type,unweighted.
Been trying sprats a lot with just a single treble at the tail through the mouth with a needle which needs securing to prevent tearing when casting more than a few yards.I like a single treble but i am still not sure if i am missing bigger fish using such a small bait.I suspect not but a 20 is still a sprat target for me.
We don't do much bait fishing pal so they do a job. My jerk baits get more and more tarty and I rarely use a plastic one (buster jerk is ace though) and that's same as you and your floats. Starting out, you get the cheap stuff that does a job. At it years and you enjoy much more than just catching.
Lots of lads are using the singles and they are only saying good things. I've not tried them myself. Stick at it mate. I've heard you don't have to strike, just wind down on the fish. Is that what you do or have heard?
good fishing video...
thanks harri.
You can also use bubble floats with a small macrel
to all you Carp Anglers Out there that don't wanna buy new tackle for deadbaiting: a 3 or 4 lbs Carp rod does the Job very Well. you can cast heavier rigs and bigger deadbaits, plus the fact that Most Carp rods are nice and stiff so you can Set the Hook very nicely across greater distances
I for example use a daiwa black widow Carp paired with a kastking sharky baitrunner real. This Setup is really cheap, but it has never let me down!
Nice one buddy. Lots of carp lads having a go at the pike so that will help
Those cheap polystyrene floats are excellent value for money,extremely buoyant and highly visible especially in low light conditions. Matt Hayes used to rave on about them.Great video lads.will you be having another lure fishing day this year ???
Yeah Nick they are great pal. i used some plastic ones recently and they were garbage, i'll go back to my poly ones next time. We haven't sorted a lure day yet but we have talked about it. hopefully we will get something sorted.
I used the float for the first time today and got a 5lb pike . I think I will be using them from now on . Less snags
Yorkshire lads 👍
Aye lad ;)
South Yorkshire here :)
one of my fav methods!!!!
Make a bobber popper m8, put a nice spoon on it and you're set 👏 works on perch too
cracking video as always. Do you feel like there is a "best" braided line for lure fishing? I hear people raving about some brands but I'm not sure I could tell the difference between good and bad braid yet.
hi great videowhats the name for the system that prevents u from getting snagged at the bottom PROLOGIC ???
Watched this as I’m looking for a good rig to use when bank fishing in faster parts of the Trent.
Would this work in good flows? My issue is floats getting pulled under, but I guess if I fish overdepth enough it should just lay flat? Bit like stret pegging
Great videos. I love Piking. Just wish there were more Pike in Northumberland. Normally have to head up to Scotland. I think if there were more places to go locally they'd be my primary fish! I've subbed. Cheers.
thanks matey. Yeah i hear that quite a bit from a few lads i know that way on. bit of a trek to head north but what a place to have to go fish eh! cheers for the sub mate much appreciated.
There's some great places up Scotland. I do a good bit of Piking down the lake District but getting parked is a nightmare! Scotland is just much quieter!
Yep, Scotland is on my radar mate. I can't believe i've never fished up there. Been on holiday a few times though but never once got the rod out. I took a light rod once but never even fished I was just enjoying the place too much. But now I fancy a Scottish pike!
@@riverpiker great vid again Paul.
Just like many waters down your way we have the Poland plague.still plenty good waters up here in Scotland I just got a 21.5lb last week first 20 for a while lol. Do you pike fly fish pal.you can book in advance for lake of menteith.what a place pike close to 40lb you should have a wee look if your ever coming up only an hour from Edinburgh
Great video again!
Can you do another Livebait video again?? been a few years since the rattle rig!...?
cheers Scott. We might have a go again. A month or so ago we were out and we bagged a load of livos and couldn't catch a pike to save our lives! lol. Everything seemed bang on but it didn't happen for what ever reason. We ended up with a couple of pike but nothing to make a video.
Great vid some nice fish bit of a random question is the boat based in crigg if so I might av been on the same river looking for the big ones
Yes mate. Say hello if you ever see us pal. ;)
Gonna try them cheap floats, What size ledger holds them on river?
Hi mate I'm having trouble the bait stop sliding abart what's strongest one to get many thanks
Nice video.
I especially like the pet lamb you have on your boat with you
I told him to get a dog that would go with the rough northern piker image.....
Ha ha
Bless it :)
So, even though you use a bobber you let the bait hit the bottom anyway?
Caught my first pike ever on the float the other day wasn’t a bud fish 8 or 9 lb
once the season begins can you do some more trout videos and chub but in smaller rivers!
Sure will Thomas, we have some ideas already mate, cheers
River Piker river sheaf at millhouses is spot on for small trout
Can I use bait elastic on the fish bait for bike?
Could I not use a float and use a weight on the bottom with a alarm ?
Nice one mate ! What's that prologic rig item called ?
cheers pal.
Prologic Safety Back Lead Clip.
Is the bait on the bottom or suspended in the water?
Hard to understand, but since he's talking fishing it's easy.
Love the accent and I understand it but YT subtitles are so way off!! 😂
Hi great vids I’m looking to target some different Yorkshire rivers for pike currently i fish the swale but cant get passed the 13lb mark at moment. Where would you suggest?
Thanks
Matt
Hi Matt. I never say to be honest mate as i get asked for spots every day. If you've had a 13 then there's got to be something else about and its got to just be a matter of time before something bigger shows up. The weir pools are always worth a go though this time of year you exepct the fish have dropped back to a deeper part where the bait fish might be. Usual bridges, big bends and deep water should throw something up.
Yes no probs I’ve been targeting topcliffe area which like you say has to have bigger fish in. i get loads between 5-8lb mark with a few bigger now and then
I’m off out this morning so hopefully get a few
Lures or bait? Big or small? Thats a decent average size, and obviously there's more of them at that size than 15lb plus, so it's only a matter of time I reckon. Best tip i can give you teo get a 20 out is to take a friend who has never fished for pike before, he'll get one first cast. Always happens! lol good luck mate i'm sure you'll drop on one soon enough
The fisherman in this video, is it Adrian that worked for DAF?
Braid is banned on our stretch of river and the two club lakes so we have to use suitable mono.
Some lads still use mono. So long as you have a good breaking strain it is fine mate. Also it has benfits such as better abbrassion resistant so around rocks it is miles better than braid.
Mono degrades in sunlight (UV) & also simply "ages"...& so it should be changed seasonally if you do a lot of fishing , my brother-in-law lost a fine fish because he was too tight to buy new mono or braid ... I even warned him previously that he'd lose a PB & he ignored me... 😩
I use 30lbs braid for all my deadbaiting, 2 1/2lbs test curve Daiwa Phantom rods, shimano 10,000s & rig is 2oz free-running lead to 18" trace with 2 trebles & a ball float to pop up the deadbait. And delkims to shout at me when I git a run !! 😅
my PB is 27 3/4lbs... 👍😎☘
hello,
I have a question:
Im a bit concerned about a pike I catched today. the pike was hooked pretty deep, I managed to get the hooks out but once it was back in the water it took the pike about 2 minutes to regain a bit of energy, before it slowly swam away. Im concerned it might die because it seemed to be really exhausted. Could you tell what the chances are it will just be fine and survive?
Thanks!
Hi buddy. Sometimes things go wrong and a pike might not make it. This does not happen too often though so long as you don't treat them badly, leave them out of the water too long or do too much injury to them due to bad hook up or deep hooking. Hopefully it will be ok. You got the hooks out and it might just need a bit of time to recover. May be it swam to the bottom and just relaxed for a while. There is no way of knowing so don't beat yourself up over whether it did or didn't survive. However what you need to do now is just think back how it all went.
You mentioned the hook was deep. Would you say it was so far down your couldn't see it? Was it covered by something like a closed hole (its throat) or was it just deep inside but you could still see it? That is the important bit. If it was just hard to reach but you could easily see it, you were unlucky and just a bit tricky unhoking. If it was far down and behind the closed hole, as in your hooks were out of sight, this often means you might have left the bait too long before striking after a bite. Send me back a bit more infomration now and we will see if we can figure out what happened. The important thing here is that we understand if something went wrong and then learn from it.
River Piker Thanks for your comprehensive answer. The hook was easily visible and not behind its throat, it was easy to remove the hooks with a set of long pliers. I dont think I could really do much about the deep hooking, since I was fishing with a relatively small spinnerbait and when it did strike, I set the hook immediately. What I think might have happend it that the pike tried to "suck it up" like they sometimes do.
After the unhooking the pike bled a bit, I checked where it was bleeding from and it didnt seem to bleed from its gills, but from the wound where the hook used to be. Weird, since normally they dont bleed (maybe because the hook was in soft tissue this time?)
Also did I wet the unhooking mat before laying it on.
Cheers
Ah, then i think there is a good chance it will be fine. I was thinking you were fishing using deadbait because you were asking on this video. Sometimes with bait fishing if you get it wrong that is when you can do lots of damage with deep hooking.
The deep hooking you have got is just probably froma hard hit where the pike has totally engulfed the lure. Nothing you can do about that. I think the fish will be fine after a long sulk.
River Piker Good to hear! I'm about to try fishing with deadbait this year, I will keep in mind to not set the hook too late. Thanks again for the fast and comprehensive answers, it really helps. Tight lines!
Hi nice pair of long nosed pliers what size and where could i get a pair please ,great video keep them coming,regards Terry.
Terry they are 11 inch mate and most decent tackle shops will have them. Why not try eBay though ;)
great video mate, might have to give dead baiting a go . Went lure fishing yesterday at a small river, got my new pb of 16lb , not too bad. Although the cast before that i got snagged on a tree root, lost my trace (titanium one from chicos) and abu garcia mcmy lure, was pretty annoyed thats alot of money gone lol. thinking about going for a swim to get them back tbh. Are you using the titanium traces from chicos or have you found a cheaper alternative?
congrat's on the new pb mate that's a clonking fish mate, massive well done.
Regards losing the lure, it does happen sometimes. I used to lose loads when i first started out. do you have heavy braid on as well? Yes i'm using the Chico traces. I do have some AFW traces also but they are virtually the same price. Probably only way you will get titanium traces cheaper is if you buy the wire and make your own. you need good crimps, a crimping pliers and need to test them also.
im terrible at crimpling , ill just stick with chico traces then mate, only seem to get any damage or anything if you loose one . Ive got 90lb spiderwire 8 strand braid, i changed all the splitrings to lighter ones. I even used ur method of not pulling it immediately, i walked to the side to try pull from the other side, spun my line around my forceps ,(the smooth part) and pulled. Guess i just need to be more careful tbh.
🇮🇪🇮🇪 great video, very helpful, what make are those shades,
Thanks buddy. They are from a Swedish company called Leech
Did Ady have to do the washing when he got home ?.
I don't think he's been out of the kitchen since, she's proper got him trained
could you please make a video on good tactics and ways to catch pike in warm weather
I don't do much pike fishing in summer but basically, get out and cover some water. Use a few lures and you will find them easily. They are much more active and will hot the lures. Dead baits are a no go in summer though.
Thanks for the help and one last thing, would dead bait still work for the starting few weeks of the season because this winter I haven't managed to get out and try and get them so I was just wandering weather I still have a chance to use dead bait
Yes mate. Just be careful though. As it warms up the pike get more active and they will swallow baits really quickly. So if you dont have good bite indication you can end up with a deep hooked pike. Watch your float at all times mate and strike as soon as you see any activity.
River Piker thanks, I think I'll be fine because I'm know for my quick strike reflexes to all the fishing lads in my village, and thanks again sooooo! much I'm a definite ameture to pike fishing
River Piker also what waters do you fish
Cracking video's on here mate, just sub'd..just got into pike fishing after catching a couple of jacks accidentally when fishing for perch...lol.got the bug now.
After watching your unhooking video i have more confidence handling them now so thanks for that. Might be a silly question but can you dead bait all year or just in winter ?...(p.s.Thanks for these video's give a lot of information for beginers like me getting into plke fishing) chris.
good to hear mate cheers for watching. Regards bait fishing for pike. Most long time pikers will tell you to keep away from bait fishing for pike as the warmer months come. Simple reason being that as it warms, the pike seem to swallow the baits quicker which in turn leads to lots of deep hooked pike. Deep hooked pike can be difficult to sort out and even a dead pike. Winter colder months they don't seem to try to swallow the bait so quick so this doesn't happen if you have good bit indication. I personally won't bother with baits from now on. Pike are active and lures will bag you loads of fish.
River Piker Thanks for the reply mate, will take your advice and try lures, cheers chris..
Why negative reviews?? Good vid.
Probably because the fish were just chucked back instead of being allowed to recover.
Great video! Do you decapitate all baits for smell release? Cheers
cheers bud. Mostly yes i do. Break the head off and then usually its a nice size for most half decent pike (still catch tiny jacks) and as you say it lets a bit of scent out too. Only time i don't is when i decide to stick a big bait on in the hope of a monster,
OK, cheers! Good luck with the monsters!
I can't be bothered reading all the comments so sorry if someone has asked this already? What weight of lead are u using? Thanks Mark
We use a decent lead 3oz is good. Idea is the lead doesn't move at all and isn't picked up by the pike. Pike always has a free line to pull, so very little resistance other than the float. You also need a good lead if you have a big float so that the float isn't lifting the lead off the bottom. hope all that makes sense Mark. cheers bud
Hi how are you might go fishing over the weekend and then the week of I've got with a friend
hi Liam. Get yourselves out mate and catch some fish
I wonder if this works in the states
Maybe if you try a cheeseburger?
great cheap floats been using them for years
cheep and cheerful does it for me pal
Yeh seem to get more fish on live baits but big fish in dads
yeah that's what many pikers find pal
Stevie Morritt ijjj
nice one m8,beats the earache from her indoors.hehe
sure does pal. You married to our lass too? lol
lol ive been there done that ,25 years got grandkids now and divorced,freeeeeeee lol na i have a g/f though now.ive enjoyed watching ya vids m8,ive had some very late nights lately watching your take on the fishing your intyo,enjoyable i must say.keep the good work up m8.
Sounds like A bloody yuppie he does . . . . Stay Frosty All
It is called a clip swivel
what bait was on that rig sardine.
I think it was a herring mate but we will use sardine too, good bait.
cheers for the reply.
Do you boys use barb or barbless
I use barbed mate. I never have any issues unhooking either as i always hit the fish as soon as i spot a take.
I like semi-barbed trebles... only the hook in the bait has a barb & the other 2 are barbless.. 👍😎☘
Just subbed :)
thanks buddy, returned the favour! ;)
We're are they please comment because I've got a boat
7.28 pike lip torn
@8:45 why is there a lamb on the boat? oh, it's a dog
was that a lamb?
i think it probably was
I went cray fishing with a hand line a hook and some bacon and a pike picked it up and I freaked out
ha ha, i bet you did pal
River Piker lol
never saw"bobber down' !!!!!!
what are the names of these floats?
Swift Polystyrene Sea Float
thx
do you use mackerel?
Yes I do mate. I've had some nice fish on macky tail.
what is your biggest fish on mackerel?
I've had a couple of 23s but remember i'm not really a bait angler either. Give them a go mate see how you get on
River Piker Well my biggest is a 6lb not big
Just keep fishing mate. There aren't as many bigger ones but one will pop up I guarantee you.
I was under the impression that they taught me English in school...
You must have gone to a posh school! ;)
In Scottish and can understand him perfectly, don’t know if the same could be said about me lol
