- Most of my big river perch are caught on a texas rig and i get so many questions about my river perch fishing so i figured it was only right to make a How to fish a texas rig video, specializing in river fishing. i also talk about why i fish this rig as well as catching some big perch on the texas rig.
Watched 2 mins of this video and already know you know what you’re on about much more advanced tips than most U.K. lure lads who still think Texas rigs are brand new 😂 one tip I could give newbies to this style of fishing is to try fishing on calmer days as bite registration and staying tight on the bait is hard when wind is gusting
What rod and reel are you using pal? Sick vid btw, bagged yourself a new subscriber💪🏼
Cheers buddy much appreciated! The rod is a custom I made it myself, it's 7'6" 3-12g and fast as hell, it allows me to cast far and set them hooks at rang! Alot of people have asked me about it tbh, I may get a few made at some point
Great video very informative, thanks!
Dude epic vids. Great production on the finished upload.
Good quality mate.
Nice fish you're pulling out as well.
Subbed and like!! Wallop!!!
Thanks buddy! I Appriciate it!
awesome video. the worm hooks makes a huge differences especially in weedy or shallow areas.
This river is extremely rocky too, so an open jig just gets stuck alot in the rocks
Brilliant vlog buddy, really enjoyed that. Great to watch and hugely informative, can see your channel doing really well. Im gonna binge watch all your vlogs tonight. Hope you have a great week and Best wishes and stay safe and well to you and your family buddy. Tight lines 🎣
Thanks mate! And yeah it's still early days but the channel is going great! Have a great week yourself sir!
@@luresonly thanks and you are welcome. Trust me you have got everything you need to grow alot bigger, great lure angling and all presented really well too.
Hi mate
Seen 4 of your videos and have subscribed.
What's your setup Flurocarbon strength, line, rod and reel?
Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
The rod in this video is a custom I made myself, it's a rainshadow blank from America drained for walleye, it's a 3-12g 7'6". Awsome blank, the reel is a daiwa luvias 2500, the braid is dragon fishmaker which is super fine for it's breaking strain, 0.08, not sure on the flouro it would have been somewhere around 10lb
Really enjoying these vids pal, keep em coming - and that perch at the end was a brute!!! Only just started lure fishing myself so good to pick up tips.
Glad to hear it mate! And it was a nice surprise I knew the location had done some big fish but in a River like this they move alot.
@@luresonly yeah the bigger rivers are still a bit daunting at the minute so I'm serving my apprenticeship on my local river (Erewash - it's more like a stream) and the local canal until I get more confidence in what I'm doing
There are some big perch to be had in the smaller rivers too! Nothing much different to the big rivers bud, just more water to fish lol
@@luresonly exactly 😄 one of the main factors - location, isn't an issue. I've had a few half decent ones out and the chub on there seem suicidal lol. I'll definitely be trying out the Texas rig now after watching your vid. Been using the Ned rig on the canal but just seem to get hammered by jacks
That last one was a beauty mate, I'm gonna try this set up down canal where it's snaggy. 👍 Just subbed too. Awesome channel
Thanks buddy! And yes Texas is king when it's snaggy or weedy! Just fish it as light as you can, I tend to use a 1.8g on the canals or a 3g if I need a long cast,
What type of weight would you use for canals ect and how thick is your main line and leader line? .. do you not use a bead? Thanks btw subbed
Thanks for the sub buddy! I don't like beads on a Texas rig mate I tend to fish quite subtly, natural colours with little sound. I'm not saying beads don't work I've just never used them and it's something else to lose In the rocks 😂 for the river I use a very low diameter 12lb for perch generally, 20 on my zander setup as I often get good pike.
As for flouro anything from 8-12lb for perch.
Can some1 recommend a nice river to fish perch. I spend all my birthday money on perch gear yet I haven’t found a river that has worked yet
Essex area preferably
Thanks to TH-cam recommendations I’ve just enjoyed a great vid and subscribed. Looking forward to more! 👍
That's great to hear bud! More coming soon!
Excellent video, inspired me so treated myself to a new rod , got some molix lures and texas weights to give this a try. How long would you recommend the flouro leader to be ? Thoroughly enjoying your videos and looking forward to trying these techniques 👍
I tend to use about 3ft, but as it gets shorter through the day as I break of or re-tie, I'll tie a new leader when I get to about 18"
What hook and bait do u use. Where do u get them. What weight is ur bullet weight and size of bait and hook ?
The bait is a molix stick flex for the most part, the hook is an ewg I think a gamakatsu size 2, the weight are 5g tungsten bullets from nine Seven tungsten but you would need 3g 5g 7g just to cover all bases
Great vid ad, really enjoying these especially not being able to get out myself.. Keep it up brother 💙
Cheers bro! I hope they are keeping you hungry for it 🤣, have to meet up in the winter and throw a few!
@@luresonly 1000% bro, look forward to it even if we meet up on a ressie or something we'll get a day or two in this winter 100%
Im down for that mate!
Excellent video mate you can't beat the texas rig stupidly simple and works everywhere.
Cheers mate! And your right about that!
Yeeeeeeerrrrrr boiiii
Great video mate, keep it up 👍🏽
Thanks buddy! More on the way!
Do you prefer the Carolina or texas rig? And what benefits do you think each give that the other doesn’t ?
I do fish a Caro quite often, I sometimes put a float stop between my hook and weight and make a kinda makeshift caro and just fish it with a couple of inches between, helps with floating lures sometimes, I'll deffinatly be making a video about the Caro too. I like Caro when the fishing is hard, with either creaturebaits or small shads. Texas is more lively and your more likely to hook up, Caro is more subtle but when the fishing is hard it can work very well
Really helpful as always mate 👌
Glad you enjoyed it bud!
Nice video 👌
This has inspired me to try this method, don't know why i haven't yet!
Nice job catching a big one while on the phone too 🤣
Thanks buddy, Texas is the way to go on rivers it's just so effective!
Great video. You should have a go at a Wrasse you will love it.
It's deffinatly on my list! I just live more than 2hours from the coast on any side 😂 so it's a drive lol
Nice one Adam. Was waiting for the the quacking to commence 😂.
I was better behave this time and didn't need it 😂😃
Best video yet, what size hook would you use with that stick flex, those perch were mint 👌
I like a size 2 bud, some think it's to small but it allows the lure to float very well. And thanks bud
thanks really like your videos, nothing complicated, been a fisherman all my life, and I have just taken up lure fishing for perch on the Trent, inspired by your videos and have no idea what I am doing, think my braid is too light to start, and need to get some of those Texas rigs asap.
Texas is great for the the river! I do use pretty light braid for perch as it's much more sensitive! Big Zander time soon though with all this water!
@@luresonly cool thanks hoping to get out again soon will let you know how it goes.
Great vid mate! What hook size do you use?
Subbed (371).
Thanks for sharing mate! Cheers 🍻
Size 2 bud, you can go 1 but the lure won't float as good
Thanks mate! 🎣🤝
Great video pal, some lovely perch there. When the music started I thought it was going to be Gary Glitter and I thought brave man using that tune 🤣🤣🤣. Gave ya a sub bud 👍
😂🤣 that would ahev been brave ! Cheers buddy !
@@luresonly it would be brave 🤣🤣🤣 was used to great effect in the Joker movie all the same.
Enjoying your vids, keep em coming 👍🎣
Thanks buddy
Hi mate just subscribed what would you say is your favourite colour of the stick flex
I love the wagasaki mate, my fav by far, the black with blue flake is great, so is the watermelon black
@@luresonly niceone mate do you fish them on a Texas all year round
personally wouldnt ever use that plastic for a texas rig... maybe a nedrig or a shaky head...
seems so foreign to me
I've tried NEDs any open hooks get snagged up too much. I do use them on occasion but the river bed is very rocky and snaggy in places. Stick baits and creature baits are great on the Texas rig. Very weedless and great hook ups!
@@luresonly im sorry i didnt explain myself well i couldnt do a small bait like that as a texas rig... i use those for ned rigs! i use much bigger for texas rigs so therefor so foriegn for me as a bass fisherman in america! granted that u do way different fishing to me.... that prolly works where u live just watching ur video im like wow thats so wierd! maybe i try this! ahahahhaa
enjoy ur videos u make me look at baits n sizes differently n "thats what she said"!
@@joshualee-gs9yv ahh my bad bud i didn't realise you was a bass angler! pretty much all the TH-cam stuff i watch is american bass fishing lol i like to look at perch as a sort of mini bass a great fish is a 2lber and a 3 is a tank, the British record its just over 6lb to give you some perspective on their size. yeah the bass lures are just so much bigger, ive tried throwing wacky senkos but i need a very good fish in the right mood to take it lol i have used a Carolina rig before with tiny lures for perch, very effective lol
Good my friend🤝👍🙏
Thanks bud
What a video! Keep them coming bro 👏
Thanks bro
Great video. I'm already waiting for another one. Take care.
Cheers buddy ! You down for perchmainia?
@@luresonly unfortunately I can't... But I'll try next year and definitely will be on WPC
@@DawidNiespodzianski im not fishing it either mate I can't make it, but I'm.deffo doing the WPC next year
Is that a rainshadow immortal?
Sure is
Nice one buddy just in time for winter too!
Cheers mate and yes it's getting to that time
1st
Do you still fish them in COLD season? How do you recommend ?
Yes mate I fish for perch and zander all year. I prefer creature baits when it gets very cold
@@luresonly can you recomend some creatures for lake, in cold water, thank you!
I used to use the freaky flex alot but the fillet craws are good too, so are the nimbles
Here perchy perchy, crackin vid !!
Thanks bud
Brilliant video, well done, most informative 👍
What size in mm is the lure u use?
The stickflex is 70mm I will use 90 and 120 shads at times but the stick baits and small shad I used in this video was 70
Just smashed through all your vids mate. Quality. Not fished the trent yet and it's on my doorstep! Heading out this weekend with some FFS 75mm. Wish Me luck!
Also. Random question, you ex forces?
Plenty of perch in the river mate !
@@luresonly it seems so! Much better stamp pf fish too. Went and scouted a few spots near me in Lincolnshire yesterday. Will give it a good solid 3-4 hours and see what happens. Gotta be better than the canals around here
@@leeangel2449 100 percent mate, the average size is much bigger in the river, although it's not easy to fish it's deffinatly worth it
@@luresonly lure fishing in general isn't easy ha. (Converted carp angler). Although I've been fly fishing since my teens, lure fishing for perch is a whole new ball game. Fancy my first Z too.
Think you're only up road from me, so if I struggle on technique maybe I could come and just see how you go about it? If you don't mind that is
Well your in the right place for the zander, don't be too hard on yourself for now though, this low clear water doesn't help with them this time of year
Nice fishing mate really enjoyed it thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it mate! More coming soon !!
Use to catch big brass on the Texas rig back in Africa 👌
Never had chance to throw for a bass but I'm sure I would love it!!
Bravo
Is that the river Trent tour fishing? Just it looks very wide and deep, nice video, I GUESS the technique would work on the Trent, but its very snaggy with rocks?
It is mate, yes it can be snaggy but it's all area specific and rigs like this help alot
you should not be on your phone when fishing ,you will lose your rod licence ,
Can't be as bad as sleeping whilst fishing 🤣
Hi mate, what rod and reel setup do you use?
Aup mate! The rod is a custom that I made myself, a 7'6" fast action 3-12g, it's a very very good blank. The reel is a daiwa luvius 2500
Where did you get it from?
@@chrisstubbs914 I ordered the parts from rodhouse france, great shop
What sort of weight do you usually chuck on the rivers mate? Looking to try the Trent for the first time before the end of the season on one of the scunny stretches but only usually use upto about 5 gram. Cheers
I only use 3-5-7 on the river mate, the perch fishing on the river is brutal this time of year though, the bigger fish feed but the smaller fish seem to disappear, so it can be quite frustrating, i just fish a few spots I know hold big fish this time of year
Another top video with perfect commentary. Top man 🙏
thanks buddy
Cracking video buddy. Never use the Texas rig before… 99% of my perch fishing is on on-rivers . Is this The best style would you recommend to use without snagging up ?? Cheers buddy 😀😀🎣🎣
Yes mate as long as you fish as light as you can you will snag up 90 percent less
@@luresonly cheers buddy and thank you for the tips 🎣👍🏽😀
What river is this if u don’t mind me asking ?
a lot of people know where i fish but i don't publicize it, not fair on other anglers who may fish it
Brilliant video.. what size hooks do you use for your texas rig fishing when targeting big perch and medium pike on 6cm and 9cm spikey shads?
Thanks bud, Texas I'm usually using a 2 or 1 ewg, for the spikeys if it was a jog head probably a 4 or 7 for the 6cm and 1/0 for the 9cm
@@luresonly thank you for the help 🙏
