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!
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)
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
I’ve watched 10+ videos of tying surf fishing leaders trying to find a video where I can ACTUALLY SEE THEM ZOOMING IN ON THE KNOT TYING. 99% of the videos I’ve seen are absolutely worthless and I’m just getting information for the ears. This was FLAWLESS. I just pre built 10-15 leaders in under 30 minutes n all ready to go in the surf tackle box cause I can actually see what’s going on in this video!!! THANK YOU!!! BRAVO!!! Idk why that was so hard for others to ZOOM IN TO THE KNOT TYING N SLOW DOWN. Lolol. Thank you soooo much bro!
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.
I like to both lure and bottom fish. And I use the same setup as you just showed, but there is an easier, faster way. Bonus: You only have to tie ONE knot. First I tie a snap swivel to the end of my line. (Thats your one knot) That's how I attach my sinkers. Then I take my Bear Paw Line-Leader connectors and put on my hook (the pre-made kind like you showed. That's it. We're done, just bait up and cast. For those that don't know, The connectors are made of a small cone tube, and a "peg" shaped kinda like a fish. with a slit to attach to your line and hook. Take your line, make a small loop and push it threw the small end of the cone tube and take the peg aim the skinney at the tube and put the loop from your line into the slit. Snug up your line so the line don't come off the peg, but don't cover the slit. Take the loop on the line on your hook and put it in the slit pulling it to the fatter end of the peg. Now push the peg till it's tight in the tube. It's pointy and kind hurts my fingers so I usually use my teeth or a pair of pliers. And your set to fish. An added bonus is, the connectors hold the hook out from your line so there's less chance of tangling the hook on the line. It took a lot of words to explain how to use them, but in reality you can put your hook on in under ten second, and take them off even quicker. Amazon link. a.co/d/0cdOXMjC You can probably pick them up at any baitshop or even Walmart cheaper. Now, I mentioned that I like to lure fish too. If I get bored of bottom fishing, I take off the bear paws, take the sinkers off too, and put a lure on the snap swivel and in under a minute, I'm lure fishing.
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.
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 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 !!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🎣
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
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..🍻
that pre made hi lo rig is called a pickerel rig in Canada and has been a staple for decades. It’s caught more fish than any lures ever sold besides, possibly, basic spoons.. Used mostly with real minnows (fresh/salted or frozen) or real worms (crawlers or earthworms). The amount of hardware doesn’t seem to matter.
True. I've used those cheap Eagle Claw ones and never had a problem. Used the for perch, crappie and I'm on the west coast now and use them for surf perch and flounder. Never had a problem ever and they are cheap. 1.99 where I am. They also sell pre tied dropper rigs on a spool from 10lb to a 100lb so you don't have to mess around doing this crap. Doing it this way is great to know maybe in case you need to tie one spur of the moment.
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.
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.
@@AKFF320 Teeth are really strong. Sugar is dangerous for your teeth because it eats your teeth away... Imagine what it does to your soft tissue in the inside
Same exact rig we tie for offshore fishing. We call it the chicken rig. We add a swivel to the top and then attach to the main line. And use bigger gear of course. Usually 60lb mono and size 4/0-6/0 hooks. Great for snapper, porgy’s, trigger, and for catching larger baits like grunts.
This video actually taught me a lot, thanks i just feel bad about fishing because, man poor fish. But im planning on getting my fishing license, and this video got me pretty ready, now i just to learn how to throw the lure in, Thanks!
Great video. I fish the beach about twice a week and there are some days where if you don't go light and small you're not catching fish. This happened last week where all fish were caught on a SINGLE sand flea and size 6 light wire hook, 2 drops w looped 8 lb mono NO beads, floats, or junk of any kind. Leader line 20 lb mono.
The store bought rig at the first is called a crappie rig in this region. Used for fishing vertically from a boat for schooling crappie in freshwater lakes, and not for bottom fishing. I've used em lots of times and never had any problems catching crappie when using one
We bottom fish the huge Fraser river with large versions of this....casting from shore for Salmon. Roe on one hook and a Spin and glo with nightcrawler on the other..
In Jacksonville Florida the old timers showed me you put a barrel swivel end of line put egg sinker above it tie about 12 in of line on the other side of the barrel swivel for your hook this way the fish can pull the line through the egg sinker and never feel the weight of the sinker I use nothing but circle hooks just pick up the rod and reel never have to set the hook🎣
I belive that's called a Carolina Rig. For anyone who wants to see pictures of what it looks like, search Carolina rig on google. ^ I could be wrong though
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
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
I think, Even better is a twisted loop knot. It helps the bait stay straight out from the main line and you don't have double lines next to your bait/hook.
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.
My 6 year old daughter landed a 37" redfish on a 1/0 circle hook and 15lb line last year on the beach. You're 100% right that you don't need large Hooks.
I use a similar set up with the exception of the knots used in the video. I use a half hitch which encompasses the hook, then I loop the tail end over the hook. Great video and great advice.
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.
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 fish a lot of Bayside on the ESVA around Accomack. I have a great luck, especially recently. Caught 2 Reds 40" and 41". Same Rod, Same rig. I made my bottom rig with crimps. 50/60 lb test. I crimp a loop at the top for my main line snap. Tie a dropper loop like you did but a lot smaller, down to another crimped loop with a snap for the sinker. I use a 2/0 Gam Baitholder with same test line and connect it to the dropper. The hook dangles just a hair above where the sinker lays. The loop is stiff and extends the leader pretty good. Using double hooks is it a bit stressful for me and I waist a lot of bait. I find myself watching your videos every day lol. It's quite addicting.
The same crimped rig hooked 3 Reds that night but I only could get 2 in the boat and lost the other because I let the line get too slack. I'm still using same one and its still strong with no slips.
@@1fish2fish10 Bought a lifetime saltwater license today, along with some 20 lb. test fluorocarbon leader and a pack of 50 #6 snell-style hooks. Beach and sand fleas, here I come!

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
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.
I think, Even better is a twisted loop knot. It helps the bait stay straight out from the main line and you don't have double lines next to your bait/hook.
Going try this tomorrow for beachcasting, thankyou buddy
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.
Thanks for the tips, we will most definitely try this one out Tomorrow. C.J.
Good 👍
Looks pretty good and indeed cheap & less material used ....
My 6 year old daughter landed a 37" redfish on a 1/0 circle hook and 15lb line last year on the beach. You're 100% right that you don't need large Hooks.
Simple,and clearly. U have also video catching with this method
Your the best bro^^ Really understood your setup and its burned in my brain!
New to saltwater fishing. I find your videos very informational. Thanks and keep posting my dude.
This rig for sure will catch fish brother thanks for sharing
I use a similar set up with the exception of the knots used in the video. I use a half hitch which encompasses the hook, then I loop the tail end over the hook. Great video and great advice.
Maybe show doing it with a thicker line or even string. Looks like a great replacement for the standard bottom rig.
Thank you so much....now can you do a video on how to use this line please. I am a beginner saltwater river fisherwoman....just learning.
Thanks for the video great DIY project on the rig, I can't wait to test it 👌🏾
Wow thanks so much for that. & Im just leaving bass pro shops and bought about 12 high low rigs. Smh
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.
I'll try it this weekend. Thanks
Thank you so much. The best video I have ever watch
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?
EXCELLENT AND VERY GOOD DIRECTIONS BRO TY
Good vid. I use that knot. Never comes off if you do it right
You made it look easy . I'm going to try it.
I usually have a spider weight on the bottom for beach fishing
I haven't fished in over 5 years. It was nice to get a refresher. Thanks for the vid
Saving time is more important to me😂 I can buy quality ore made rigs online. Very good quality and not that expensive. Great video !!
I just tied 2 of these rigs, new to bait fishing, only ever used lures. And if I don’t catch a fish I know it’s your fault now 😂
Dropper loop. Love it
I fish a lot of Bayside on the ESVA around Accomack. I have a great luck, especially recently. Caught 2 Reds 40" and 41". Same Rod, Same rig. I made my bottom rig with crimps. 50/60 lb test. I crimp a loop at the top for my main line snap. Tie a dropper loop like you did but a lot smaller, down to another crimped loop with a snap for the sinker. I use a 2/0 Gam Baitholder with same test line and connect it to the dropper. The hook dangles just a hair above where the sinker lays. The loop is stiff and extends the leader pretty good. Using double hooks is it a bit stressful for me and I waist a lot of bait. I find myself watching your videos every day lol. It's quite addicting.
The same crimped rig hooked 3 Reds that night but I only could get 2 in the boat and lost the other because I let the line get too slack. I'm still using same one and its still strong with no slips.
Right on! Thanks for your input, that's legit.
Excellent demonstration of a home-brew high-low rig that is easy to tie, cheap, and will catch more fish--what more could you want?
Thank you so much!!
@@1fish2fish10 Bought a lifetime saltwater license today, along with some 20 lb. test fluorocarbon leader and a pack of 50 #6 snell-style hooks. Beach and sand fleas, here I come!
