Stop using those expensive pre-made bottom rigs in the tackle shop for beach, pier, and surf fishing - and make your own! You will 100% catch more fish and save money, but guaranteed you will catch more fish. These are the most fundamental beach, pier, and surf fishing rigs and in this video I explain how to tie your own.
This rig is called a hi-lo rig or a bottom rig. You can use these from the beach, the pier, and in the surf - and of course on a boat as well. They catch anything and everything. Some people think they are only for small fish and that is absolutely not true. These rigs catch giant fish. They catch anything from redfish, striper, flounder, pompano, sheepshead, black drum, sea mullet, spot, croaker, sharks, cobia, and pretty much anything that swims!
Popular Baits People like to use for them are:
Sand Fleas (Mole Crabs)
Fish Bites
Bloodworms
Cut Bait (fresh fish)
Shrimp
Fiddler Crabs
Blue Crab Chunks

This Guy shows a BETTER Demonstration of tying Hook's on a line than MOST People I See on here!! 👍🙂
no he don’t
I've been a fresh water fisherman my whole life, prior to moving to OV last year. I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you two have done to help me migrate into tidal fishing. THANK YOU!
Thank you!! Comments like this keep us going!!
OV?
Would that be OV, DE?
@@marctheriault I was born near OV DE, but live now in OV Norfolk.
@@jeddavis6442 , just retired to the DE one from MA. Trying to learn where the fish at. 😂
The more I watch you professionals the more confident I am to try your techniques. Thanks a ton for the tutorial.
Recently moved to ENC and have just got into fishing. I can honestly thank my two boys for that (7 & 4 years old). Anywho, your videos have been a HUGE help! I cannot thank you enough for the knowledge and wisdom you choose to share with your audience. This rig works great! thanks again.
What an awesome advice thank you
Love this rig! I've been tying it like crazy and keep sets of 7-8 in my bag in 20#, 40# and 50# for Cape Cod stripers. I love the bead add too and have made a tiny edit on the heavier rigs by making a t-knot so it stands out better and I get less snags. Great channel man, you guys are awesome!
Thank you so much! That's awesome! We want to catch some of those striper so bad!
I used this set up growing up. Now I’m getting back into fishing but couldn’t remember the set up. Found your video, made the set up, went fishing caught 2 fish. Mind you, this is after going fishing 5 times in the last month with out a catch. Thanks!
You can also by those smaller Styrofoam bobbers and thread it onto the hook line to keep the top hook floating off the bottom. You generally use a smaller bait on it. It's great if crabs are stealing your bait or there is vegetation on the bottom and you want your bait to have more visibility by having it floating a feet or 2 off the bottom. You can also use a wine cork for more natural look, sometimes bright colors make the fish more cautious, and the cork is natural wood color.
Thanks so much for taken your time to show us these knots👍🏽
Unlike all of the other tutorials, you are the only one who showed ALL the steps and the only one I could keep up. Thanks! ( im mostly a freshwater fisherman)
Same
Yeah. A fisherman with brains. It's rare . It's great instruction.
Perfect! I searched for ages to find a straight forward 'how to rig a hand line' Thank you so much for this!! 👍
I haven't fished in over 5 years. It was nice to get a refresher. Thanks for the vid
"Sometimes it helps to use your mouth" everytime man :)
That's what she said
But never on the rod, man.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought I was the only one caught that 😆
Tq, Good I got it .from India
Your lecture simplified the T-knot tying for beginners in fishing.
Thanks.
Very nice demonstration and explanation of everything. Thanks!!
I hereby nominate you "The Fishing Line McGyver of The Year!" I do that ("Sometimes it helps to use your mouth" mantra) a lot when I am so focused on working on my fishing line. I call it "impromptu improvisation" so as not to lose my patience and passion. Thank you for being basic and yet practical! Happy fishing, sir!
Dropper loop. Love it
Nice! Thx for the all your tips,greatly appreciated!!
Hi 👋 Jeff ..Nicely presented. It is inherent in all of us to be too personal at times to change.. Being a retired fly fisher I had my own fresh/ saltwater application.. I would like to add the mini floater, bead then the hook for a little flotation technique. I also would rotate the securing loop one revolution to insure no slippage. Now this is me who has yet to fish for my target flounder..And then we have the Carolina rig with the soft baits like your new penny shrimp 🦐. But that’s for next time y’all..P.S.- Nice camera work Kristy
This was an awesome video, set up my poles and my son's to go fishing, I appreciate it!
Good info, thanks much. Will give it a shot. Couldn't see the first knot but the second one cleared it up.
Thanks for the video great DIY project on the rig, I can't wait to test it 👌🏾
Thanks for the perfect information on how to set up this rig!!!😎
New to saltwater fishing. I find your videos very informational. Thanks and keep posting my dude.
I'm using this technique this weekend gonna make a bunch of them prior to the trip thanks ☺️
spent the day fishing the surf on bonita beach yesterday and normally i just flat fish with a lure but I saw a few people using sand fleas so i decided to take a chance. after watching this video im excited to see if i can get better results! thank you
I use this rig for Jersey Stripers, works well. The knot he tied for the hooks is called a dropper loop. Very simple, learn it and use it !! Good luck 🎣
So great, I've seen so many more complicated things than this, this I can do. Thank you so much
A big thanks from Norfolk.
Awesome video im picking up a lot of grate advice. Keep on making these videos they are a big help to those who may not other wise know how to tie a fishing knot. I myself always used what i call a barrel knot, but its not always a very good reliable kind of knot.
Love learning simple knots to completely reshape my setup, clutch✊🏼
Thank you for showing us this to save money and catch more.
Classic old school rig. Nice video mate.
Going try this tomorrow for beachcasting, thankyou buddy
Your the best bro^^ Really understood your setup and its burned in my brain!
Enjoyed the video. Good info. You've got that tying-knots-with-teeth thing down pretty well 😁
I've never had a problem catching fish on the premade rigs. However I tend to use the premade rigs for smaller fish (e.g spot, croaker, white perch, etc.). When going for bigger fish I usually use a Carolina rig.
Plan to use this rig off Dana Point, So Calif, for my rod and 6 year old.
Thank you I'm good fishing man but I don't know how to make these. Thank you for the help
This works great also if your using heavy liter you only need 3 twists on your dropper loops
Great content on your channel. I like to use a swivel when using pyramid sinkers to keep down line twist. They propeller when retrieving. I also like a bead ahead of each hook but this is personal preference. Your comment on hook size is spot on. I like 1/0 and 2/0 circle hooks and some may say that's too big but my catch experience says otherwise. NTB, NC
This is awesome info here!! Thank you!
Great vid! Lots of spanish mackerel schooling on bait at Gloucester Point today if you're looking for something to do tomorrow. Not sure if they'll be there or not but it was pretty cool watching them ball the bait up and hit them from the bottom and the birds crashing the ball from the air, all 5 feet from the pier. Folks were grabbing bait off the top with dip nets.
I love that you can easily add colored beads in front of the hooks to add a splash of color to the rig.
That's brilliant and simple. Thanks.
Gonna try this tomorrow. Thanks so much.
Thank you. I didn't know this technique and just seeing it I'm certain it's going to perform well.
That looks great!
Will definitely give it a try soon!
great info , how do you attach the leader to the main line
Thank you so much ,for sharing this
Like it thanks, will try it Beach Fishing for Sea Bass or Cod.
I always love to fish at Wilmington North Carolina, I also tie my own like you did
We used to use the surgeon's knots up the rig to put the hooks on. Just a simple over under and through then pull. I can see the dropper loop sticks out at more of a right angle, but when you're on a rocking boat in the middle of the night and your hands are covered in stinking bait you don't want to be putting them or any tackle near your mouth - simpler just to tie a single knot per loop.
Another great tutorial! Love the channel!
Absolutely informative. Thanks bro
Perfect 👌 Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! 👍 😀
Thank you for the tips.
Nice! Easy and effective. I like to add a bead or two on the loop before I put the hook on.
What’s the purpose of that?
@@VickFit19 just to add a little flash or color
This rig for sure will catch fish brother thanks for sharing
great video. i am gonna try this for the next time i go fishing at the coast. a lot less hardware, i like that. thank you
You did a amazing job bro!!! Thank you man👍🏾
Thanks man this really helped out !!
I like to have a few pre made rigs if it is windy out... For some reason I suck at tying in the wind, so I make some rigs at home and then when I get out to the spot I can just clip them to a small snap swivel.
That's a really good idea! People, take note!!
Have the same problem in the wind. We use 20-30 lb mono for leader (for toothy critters and oyster shells). I make some up at the house with the hooks and we use pool noodles on the yak or beach cart to keep them organized. My wife prefers Carolina rigs, which are great for feeling the bite, but the sinkers do destroy the line after a while.
I pre tie a few at home and leave in ziplock bags.
Yep, get a length of mono, and tie 4 Surgeon’s Loops spaced out. The last top loop is used to clip onto your snap swivel, so you can make up a bunch of double dropper leaders ahead of time.
If it’s that windy I don’t fish .
Thanks for info. Gonna try this here in Jacksonville Florida.
I really like your simplistic Rigs. My only concern is that on every knot you tie you fail to moisten the line with saliva or water to lubricate the line as you tighten the knots up. The amount of heat generated as you tighten down will cause unseen damage to the mono. This can lower the breaking strain by as much as 60%. Or put it another way, your 20lb mono will actually be only 12lbs breaking strain. Remember to do this simple thing and lubricate your mono, this could stop the chance of loosing a Trophy Fish. We all know how that feels. Being an ex Fishing boat Charter Captain here in the UK I used to drum it into my paying charter guests to do this every time they went Fishing. I have seen many Trophy Fish lost because of monofilament damage.. Tight Lines Buddy !!!
Thanks from across the globe
thanks Jeff, one of the better how to make bottom rig out there, short and basic, seen a lot of reel complicated ones thaat aren't worth attempting
Right on! Thank you!
Great rig. I use a snapping swivel to attach the weight seems to help keep the line from getting twisted when hardheads and whiting are stealing your bait and your retrieving your line over and over. Great video. Tight Lines
Very nice video. I like it looks natural like if we were buddies talking in the garage before going or right after coming back from fishing.
I have been doing this for years...thanks for giving away my secrets, lol. Actually I work in a tackle shop. I will be sharing this with my customers. It will save me lots of time.
Glad I can help!!
Thanks so much...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The simplest way to rig up for bottom fishing.....
Thanks for the tips, we will most definitely try this one out Tomorrow. C.J.
This is going to save me a ton on crappie rigs to fish perch in Lake Erie. Lord willing. Thank you.
Fantastic, guys. Thanks!
I'll try it this weekend. Thanks
Thanks for your demo it is useful
Good explanation , thanks from Victoria Australia
Good video. That's the only rig I use. Great rig for all bottom fish, especially sheepshead and Tog. 1 thing i would add although obvious is always wet your line when pulling knots tight.
Yeah I was surprised when he didn’t do that
@@domana100 I'm pretty sure he knows, just can't remember everything.
Very informational man i appreciate it. New to Florida fishing and definately different than just throwing out a spinner. How do you like to attach your rigs to your line?
I already knew how to tie one but I still love watching the videos. Keep up the great content!
Thank you!! LOVE IT!!
been using this for 67 years - now 71 -- Love My Uncles
Awesome. Thank you for the help 😊
Always wet your knots before tightening them down.
Also if you add a locking swivel at the bottom you can remove you weight and clip it to the guide on the rod during transport.
Space your hooks at the proper distance apart so they can be hooked to each other during transport for less mess.
If you cut your drop loop down to 1 line instead of it being doubled over. There is less line for the fish to see. Just leave about 1/4-1/2" tag line.
You made it look easy . I'm going to try it.
Thank you for the video!!!
Great info, thanks for sharing this tip.
I’ve been using this rig for years.
It works very well when fishing with bait for damn near everything.
I make my drop loops a bit smaller though, maybe 1 1/2” - 2” depending on the hooks I’m using.
Put some circle / octopus hooks on and you’ll get a perfect hook set every time.
If you’re fishing for flounder, I’d make the drop loops about 4-5” and thread on a spinner between a couple beads above the skirt & hook, and instead of using a weight at the bottom when drifting, use a jig or buck tail.
(I’ve seen videos of flounder biting at the lead weight.)
It works..🍻
When you say spinner do you mean a spinner lure /spinnerbait. Can you explain that a bit better?
Thanks homie much appreciated
Thanks for that. I've been buying the leaders from the store, I knew it flashed bad. I tried to tie some of these but now I understand. Hook size is key thanks.
How often do you move the rig if its not being carried away from the current or tied? I think I move too much, but I don't know.
Outstanding video. Thank you.
It's amazing how different is beach fishing in Europe VS USA, completely different rigs , rods and ways to put the bait in the hook.
Neat and simple - I like it, thanks!
Had an empty handed first day fishing, gonna feel like a pro after this
Really helpful!!!!
Interesting video! Thanks for making it. I'll try the smaller hooks. I was taught a similar way except all three loops are surgeon's knots. Also I just use regular line instead of buying special leader line.
Three is an Improved Surgeons Knot. It adds about 5% more strength if you can pull it completely tight which can be difficult with thicker line. I use it on 20lb or less generally. Depends on how supple the line is.
If it DOES slip it makes the knot about 50% of the line test, just like an overhand knot.
Special leader line is poly carbonate much stiffer for standing up straight and wears much better around structure
Thank you for sharing, and greetings from Mediterranean Sea , Italy
Very useful!! Thanks!!!
Thanks for the tip
THANKS FOR SHARING. GREAT VIDEO...
That was really neat! Cool!
Great video. Thanks for the tutorial
Hot Damn!! Just learned something new!! Great video!!
Thank you so much. The best video I have ever watch
