Hi rob my missus has just warned me shes got her eye on her best vase and not to use it so ive made my own shotting tube, love all of your videos keep them coming after the lockdown take care and stay safe
Being old enough to remember a propper closed season on all waters all this tackle prep was done during that 3 month period....it's quite nostalgic really. We have all become used to going fishing whenever we chose, now we can't due to a deadly virus, I hope we all appreciate our bank time, fellow anglers and everything that goes with our sport that much more when we are let out once more. Keep these great uploads coming as the cabin fever raises, it's a valuable service to the angling community....cheers.
Hi Rob, a great bit of insight, yes I do carry loads of patterns mainly because our club fish venues I've never fished before, but I nearly always use the same floats, a thin bodied float for shallow or F1's or a rounder body if it's deeper or towing, are those MW floats you have shorted up?
Thank for keeping me sane Rob! What make are those margin floats please? Thank you for sharing your knowledge too. Very much appreciated. Keep the vids coming.... Love 'em.
As a pleasure angler I was facinated with the loading of the rig onto the winder. This is oviously without a hook. So a question. After connecting your hook of choice what happens to the hook after the match is concluded. Do you just discard it and next match start all over again?
As usual Great advise and well explained. Buoyancy bristle width and length of the stem and I know you covered the weights years ago in a previous video so we all have no excuses now 😢 what’s your take on pellet waggler designs? Crystal wagglers or big splashers 👍
Rob Wootton Fishing certainly is, you know I’m taking the piss in the best possible way I was one of your first subscribers. Even before the shortskirtgate incident. Won’t be any of that this year unfortunately. Chin up big lad keep vids coming, plenty to talk about in the shed. Cheers
I’ve not picked up the ctx to be fair - I know they’re very good though and use the ctx feeder rods - I use the reactacore at the minute and it’s fine.
@@RobWootton Thanks Rob , your a good lad replying. I wish i was you , good looking bloke , one of the worlds best fishermen. I bet your Mrs is drop dead gorgeous. What a life .
Ive noticed when ive made rigs up at home and shotted them in my tube.. I use a 3ft length of 4in soil pipe wit a stop end glued on it.. That when i get the rig in a fishery it's different ie too much or not enough is this anything to do with water pressure any clue..?
Cheers . I’ll have a look what I can do - there was explanation on shotting patterns on my winter pole fishing vid from a couple of months ago - see if that helps 👍
Great video Rob as always how often do you use the swinging rig! And also when fishing shallow do you think painting your top kits either white or grey make a difference👍
Cheers Paul. I use the swinging rig quite a bit and even if you can reach an island it’s sometimes worth a couple of extra fish to swing a rig every so often. I use white topkits a lot ... thinking is that they can’t hurt
Had to laugh when he said "we are all in our tackle sheds now". My gear is in a disused coal house along with mower and garden equipment. I have to make rigs and clean gear in the house or sit in the garden.
Interesting content but I would suggest that you frame your shots better as much of the closeups were out of frame and fix your audio levels as they are quite low.
I have made my pole rigs exactly the same way as you rob most of my fishing life so watching you at least i know I'm doing something right

Ha ha ha , cheers Anthony - hopefully more vids on the bank once we get out 🎣

A few weeks won’t hurt us and I’m sure the fish will be waiting 👍
Love the fact you're using a world pairs trophy as a shotting tube! Stay safe Rob 🙏
Doesn’t everyone? 😀
Another useful video Rob
Hi Rob, your videos are always top draw. I too was at the genting arena for the mighty Arcade Fire. Hope they come back soon.
Cheers Chris ... i took my lad and he fell sleep!!
Subtle flex with the world pairs trophy 😂 my wife's vase will have to do for now. Thanks 👍
Ha ha - I’ve got two if you want to borrow one 😀😀😀😉😉
Rob Wootton Fishing 😂😂👏👏 should have had them both set up just to let everyone know 💪
Well, I like this 👍

They’re a Middy MW pattern ... I’m sure they’re called margin/farbank or something similar
Thanks Rob. Used a dosapiombo for years... Never entered my mind to do it like you've shown... Smashin'. It'll make things much quicker 👍
Usual quality rob keep it up mate
Cheers Clive
Man after me own heart. Can't understand why people make it so complicated.
Cheers Steve👍

That’s right John, I change my hook often as it either gets blunt, hooklength frays or I need a tactical change. Hooklengths are stored separately
nice one rob.
Cheers Crabs!🎣
Great video Rob, can I ask why Winders you use plz
They’re the Preston ones that fit in my stacker trays
As usual Great advise and well explained. Buoyancy bristle width and length of the stem and I know you covered the weights years ago in a previous video so we all have no excuses now 😢 what’s your take on pellet waggler designs? Crystal wagglers or big splashers 👍
Cheers Ben , I’ll see what I can do
Do you bother with carbon stems on the dustys Rob or find the titanium wire light enough through the water?
Titanium’s on my dustys - the only carbon stemmed floats I use are for very shallow work with small baits
nice one coach!
Cheers mate .. hope you’re ok
Cheers Rob really enjoyed the video and tackle room format. Do you use shotting aids like dosapiombo at all?
Thanks Jeff - I just pinch the shot on my line - I’m not one for gadgets
Top video again mate. Vase looked a bit camp, but great video.
Collectors item ☺️

Hi Rob. My mates asked me to ask you what waggler rod is best Middy reactor 11 ft or Freespirit CTX 11ft.
Kind regards Chris.
I’ve not picked up the ctx to be fair - I know they’re very good though and use the ctx feeder rods - I use the reactacore at the minute and it’s fine.

Yeah water pressure and also the density differences - your water will not be as dense as a summer , muddy commercial I’m guessing.
@@RobWootton iam just leaving some trimming shot off from now on.. Any reason you use stotz instead of shot.. I must say i do wondering why you do.
Easier to put on thicker line and slightly kinder than shot
@@RobWootton thanks Rob its refreshing for someone who makes the video to actually answer the questions themselves 👍
Nice video mucca anychance of one on shooting patterns keep safe

Big love BGR
Stay safe and when this is over, let's go wet a line together at Lakeview

Yeah sorry about that 🎣... I guess not everyone is as lucky - lovely weather for a bit of garden rig making though 👍
Interesting content but I would suggest that you frame your shots better as much of the closeups were out of frame and fix your audio levels as they are quite low.
Cheers Peter... I understand your comments . this was a very last minute set up vid ... take a look at my other vids 👍
You’ve spent some dollar on Stanley fatmax boxes 😉
I daren’t add up the cost of the feeders in them!!🤦♂️🤦♂️
Rob Wootton Fishing. It’s scary, everyone adds up the big items like pole, rods, reels & box. But there’s lots of other cost - great isn’t it🤫
