Thank you for the kind message. Adjustable zigs is a game changer for sure. Will take a bit of time for the rest of the world to catch on though.

I just use the Korda Super Fine Bait needle. The Blue one👌🏼

Thank you so much. Really appreciate the kind words.

Thank you for your kind words Andy🙏🏻

It is all about the position of the bait in relation to the bend of the hook.

@gilbertfoxcroft1377 but in your video you said not to have the bait do past the bend in the hook. But when almost finished it was almost 1cm past the bend so could wrap it self around the hook

As the videos were shot during lockdown and edited 600km away, I could not re-shoot that cut-away. When I tied the rig, I did not tie it tight enough right from the start, so the hait ended longer than it should have. Well spotted. The long & short, the hair should be more like a short KD than too long.

I am in the process of revisiting all those videos agian and will be re-shooting them in studio soon.

Thank you for the kind message. I appreciate it🙏🏻

You are welcome my friend. You are obviously a very experienced angler and I learned a lot from your video. Even a little thing like tying on the bait with the bait floss!! Thank you. 🤟@@gilbertfoxcroft1377

I am happy you enjoyed it🙏🏻

We are blessed in SA as we don’t need to carry our kit further than the vehicle. We can park near our swims, so the kit mostly remain in the vehicle during sessions.

Definately, try the thinnest diameter shrink tube you can pass over the hook eye. This will sort out the problem.

Thank you! I will try that :)@@gilbertfoxcroft1377

Good evening, wether split shot or lead wire, both enter the fish’s mouth and on both occasions the lead wire inside the bait and the split shot is retrieved afterwards. I never had a case where the lead wire was gone after landing a fish.

The bait remains on the rig all the time. Once used the lead wire is re-used if needed. The Mainline Baits Wafters are so well made that there is no more need for this practise, so I don’t use it any more and with the Spinner Rig being so effective, most of the rigs I used to use over the years are no longer required👌🏻

Hi Gilbert, thank you for you answer. However, often boilies come loose under the fight and then another animal or fish will eath the left over boilie. Is that a concern? Thank you for the video.@@gilbertfoxcroft1377

@@Rioebroangling1 As I mentioned, I never had a bait come off during a fight, but due to the improvement in baits World wide, I don’t use lead wire at all any more.

Thank you for your kind message.

Hi Lee, No. I use Fluourocarbon for a number of rigs as well as Boom and Mouthtrap. Keep watching all the videos as certain rigs are meant for braid and others not.

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 yeah you need to do an updated series Gilbert 👍

Hi Shaun, it is the Korda Micro Rig Ring swivel with the PTFE coating.

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 thank you very much

Thank you kindly🙏🏻

Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated 🙏🏻

Off course it is a Spinner rig. Some call it a Ronnie rig, or at least a version of it. What would you call it?

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 Ronnie rig has an extra hinge ring. Your version is closer to the german rig. And of course the ronny rig was invented solely with a pop up. Nevertheless, thanks for the video.

@@resetkin79, our version is intended to sit closer to the deck and provides additional movement qualities. We just remove the ring, but replace it with the krimped ring, so effectively the same thing. The Korda boys created the Spinner Rig and advocated this particular use since 2018. Have you taken it up with Korda Official yet?

@@resetkin79 I forgot to mention that with the German rig the hooklink is tied directly to the hook with only the micro ring swivel and a hook bead on the hook. The rig in my video has a Spinner swivel attached, as well as a clear ring, seperating the hooklink and the hook. Exactly what the Korda guys call the “Spinner rig”👌🏻

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 I guess I missed the point when Korda went away from their own classic: Spinner ring swiwel+boom+spare krimps+only pop-up. Too bad. But we've been through it all and gone back to the old school. Good luck, thanks for not being lazy to make videos!

Thank you Kindly🙏🏻

Thank you for the kind message. I appreciate it very much.

I Was thinking the same thing definetly be easier, can't see why it wouldn't work just aswell

Thank you for the comment. When the video was shot, the tight weave was still in development. I only use the tight weave now. Definately my first choice now.

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 have you got a video where you make a rig using it. Thanks

​@shaun hodge the tight weave is a leader material do you use it for rigs ?

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you for the kind message. Range finders can be found at most Pro Golf shops or hunting shops. Mine is a fairly cheap one called Nikko Sterling👌🏻

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 thx Gilbert

Thank you kindly🙏🏻

Thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated 🙏🏻

Watch my video on PVA bags and you will see me use the Korda Chod It tool to punch a hole in the bag and then I slide the entire rig through, no probs👌🏻

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 thanks will look for it

Best videos out there on rig tutorials. Hands down

I normally use the 5,5 when casting on a smooth hard bottom and when using a pop-up rig. The longer version I use when dropping rigs at range and onto a softer bottom.

😂😂

Just imagine, next week I'm on a 5 day fishing trip. Catching a fish of a lifetime, taking a photo with your green signed shirt on! It will ne a story to tell!😄

Thank you Lee, my favorite rig is the faithful Spinner rig with 25lb Korda Boom and a size 4 Korda Krank hook. Thank you for watching my videos.

Hi Felip, I have been using them this way since they were launched and landed loads of fish to well over 40lb, including catfish to over 50lb and even pulled out snags from our syndicate water and never has one failed me or my fishing partner. I do use the perfection loop as well, but in testing the krimps in our digital knot/line tester they have always given the desired result. I also test my booms in my Pulla Tools before using them. 👌🏻🇿🇦👊🏻

Hi Paul, I had an accident in which my bicep on my right arm was torn from the forearm tendons and the pain was still too much at the time of shooting the video.

Sometimes I wonder if bailiffs understand rig mechanics at all. I have not had any mouth damage on a spinner rig since I started using it more than 4 years ago. Off course you need to use the right hook and size.

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 I was a bailiff for a while and the only thing I was dead strong about, was death rigs ie, rigs that wouldn't shed the lead if the angler had a break.

@@Berealwith, correct. I run a lake called Aqua Paradiso and I have a big thing with dropping the lead and using barbless hooks while we still have snags in the lake. We are busy taking them out one at a time, but did find the Spinner rig actually causing very little mouth damage if any, but some other hook patterns do cause havvoc.

The guys did well there on Yellow, washed out pink and orange pop-ups on chod rigs

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 OK, was there a specific flavour or was the colour the key?

We have a lake just like that. Aqua Paradiso has an average depth of 37ft and Freshly overcooked maize, hemp, boilies and crushed boilies and pellet with added course salt and Mainline Bait Smart Liquid is fed on the first flat area in about 20-23ft of water where we realized the fish feed comfortably. By spreading the feed nice and wide we manage to keep the fosh in the area longer.

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 what rig and hook bait would you suggest?

@@louistaljaard1765 Spinner rig with double immatition Slow sinking maize or pop-up maize.

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 Baie dankie 👍

@@louistaljaard1765 Plesier

The best alternative is Sunshine from LL Signature Series. Betalin is sold at SNZ Tackle. They carry stock.

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 thank you for the advice!

@@colossalbasscustombaits5963 pleasure👍🏻

@@gilbertfoxcroft1377 Do have any suggestions for carp that are scared of pop ups? I have tried pop ups and boilies and I think the carp are very scared of a round object in very clear water.

@@colossalbasscustombaits5963, it is impossible for carp flto be scarred of pop-ups. What size and colour have you tried? We had fish from every venue we tried it, but colour does play a role as some waters we only caught on white, others only yellow, others only pink and others only orange. We only fish 12mm or 15mm Mainline Bait pop-ups.
