Excellent. Lots of rigs out there but it's good you explained how and why each component combine to make it an efficient river feeder catcher rig for large cyprinids
Thanks Andrew. A lot of thought goes into your fishing . I can tell by the way you tie all your knots quick, hand skills by repetition, you put a lot of time making and thinking about you rigs. Thanks for sharing. I have learnt a lot on you tube by good videos like yours.
Well explained Andrew. I can see how the fluorocarbon line might protect the main line from damage against rocks but do you ever suffer cut offs with the fine braid near the hook?
Not really. Don't think it happened once during my 100 challenge. Most likely It will be to do with the areas I was fishing at - they were snaggy, but snags were not as sharp. BUT you are right - when using fine braid the chances of cut-offs are greater. That's wy I used short piece of it to reduce cut-off possibility. Cheers
Hello Andrew, I love watching your channel, and have implemented a lot of your techniques into my own fishing. I recently watched one of your other videos on the best and strongest way to join braid to fluorocarbon, but watching this you have opted for the alright not which you previously claim is not as strong as the other technique. Is there a reason that you've changed the type of knot you have recommended fir this video?
Hi Andrew, I’m just revisiting this video before the autumn barbel campaign begins. Just a quick question... is there any reason why you leave the braided part of the hook link at 20cm, rather than disguise it more by shortening to 10cm and using a longer length of FC? Hope to hear from you
Hello, Andrew knots. I'm a big fan of your channel and have learnt a lot from your tips. The only part of this set up that confuses me is the angry fish flurocarbon In the video you held up is the 0.8 version, which on the website says it's a diameter of 0.14 and breaks at 3.7lbs. Which flurocarbon do i buy?. do i buy The 4.0 angry fish which is a diameter of 0.33, but breaks at over 16 lbs, or Do i buy the 3.0 with a diameter of 0.28 that breaks at 12.6lbs. Which one do you use? Thanks.
Hi, Yes, it said that on the package but in reality it always breaks on Combi-rig's FC to braid connection. Also, this rig evolved in terms of using even heavier FC of 0.50 mm. above and below the feeder 👍
Hi, I personally wouldn't use fluorocarbon for mainline because it's too expensive. If I would want my rig to settle on the bottom better, I would use 1-2 m. fluorocarbon leader. Anyway, to answer the question - go with the same rating in pounds fluorocarbon. Cheers
Good morning,
A big thank you for sharing this explanatory video King of Barbel. The friendship of French😎
Thanks, Eric 👌👌

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for a good word 👍
Much appreciated!
Excellent videos, thank you for sharing, it was a pleasure to watch the 100 barbel challenge series!
Thank you, Sorin 👍👍
Just found your channel recently, great tips in all your vids great content keep it up mate
Glad you like them!
another great video just made up the same rig and going on the river tomorrow thank you andrew

@@AndrewsKnots it worked out Andrew got my river seven PB 12.15 oz very happy and thanks
I really appreciate your effort to explain it. Easy and helpfull, thanks for sharing
No problem. Happy you liked it. Cheers 👍
got my pb on the river seven with this rig Andrew thanks
Congrats!
All good stuff, thanks Andrew!
Thanks, Mike.
It's great rig 👌
can i ask why you need a shock leader?
could i not just go braid to feeder then hooklength
For fish spooking, for abrasion, for anti-tangle properties.
Well explained Andrew. I can see how the fluorocarbon line might protect the main line from damage against rocks but do you ever suffer cut offs with the fine braid near the hook?

Thanks mate understood tight lines
No problem 👍

GT knot currently is my top one because I can tie it quick. Strength of the know is not everything for me.
Thank you now it makes sense.

10 cm. is fine too.

I used to use 0.30 mm. FC for my Barbel rigs but this year I will go heavier 0.50 mm. FC above the feeder and below feeder "combi-rig" style.
Cheers
Hi Andrew, what length fluorocarbon shock leader do you use?
1 m.
Hi Andrew so you have 30lb mainline 12lb leader and and a 44lb hooklink is that right? Should the hooklink be weaker ?
Hi,
Yes, it said that on the package but in reality it always breaks on Combi-rig's FC to braid connection. Also, this rig evolved in terms of using even heavier FC of 0.50 mm. above and below the feeder 👍
Great vid Andrew, what was the make of feeder you use. Couldn’t quite hear you..
Thanks.
It was Nisa feeder.
I realize I'm quite off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
@Remy Raymond i watch on FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
@Dexter Koa Definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself :)
@Dexter Koa thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it!
Hi never used fluorocarbon
Say I am using daiwa 6lb mean line
What pound fluorocarbon would I use fishing the bomb poped up bread thanks

What baits do you use with size 10 hooks?
Mostly meshed SPAM at about 15 mm. OR dumbell boilies at about 12x14 mm.
👍👍👍
👍
No reason to overspend on rigs, just a swivel, a hook and a weight(stainless nut can be used for cheapness)
No subtitles
Most likely even YT can't pick up on broken English 👌😎
