Hi it is called The Day Shelter and was made by a company called TFG. I think they may have stopped making it which is a real shame. Mine is 10 years old now and showing signs of its age.

I use a small weight no more than 1.5 oz. Don't need anything heaveir as the weight of the bait alone is enough to cast a fair distance. Try it and see if it makes the difference 👍

@@SLSFishing yea the bait is always enough to cast but you will find you get drop backs, the fish will drag the weight with the bait if it’s too light to hold bottom, also you cannot keep the braid tight over a long distance say 60 yards on average, I lost a lot of fish last season due to the line having to pick the lead up first not being in direct contact with the hook and they usually bumped out of the mouth. When they use them hooks for big marlin and sword fish tuna they have a dead fish-live fish direct to the line no sinkers or float. I shall have a another go with a 2oz lead. I use a bait boat so casting is not an issue just being in direct contact with the bait over long distance

Change your rig so that the weight is on a 3 foot piece of line on a running ledger. When you catch you will be into the fish before the weight comes into play as long as the wire trace is 18”” or less. This has many advantages as you can use use a lower breaking strain line with a knot or two to weaken, if the weight gets snagged the ledger will break off and let you get the baited trace back.

@@Bo88y22 yea I know what ya saying, it does sound like a tangle already lower breaking strain wrapping round the trace, ideally the hooks are only good for short distance ideally under a float. If I get any short distance circumstances I might drop one on with a light weight but for big lakes and res, I lost 4-5 runs in row 1 day, you can still deep hook a fish with them as said multiple times online, they are just easier to unhook if hooked in a specific place the scissors, think well placed trebles on a bait with an instant strike never lost a fish, the only reason they drop of is a lack of tension on the line the weight usually unhooks them

I saw, this a couple of days ago. And I ordered my circle hooks and gonna, try it right away. Feels much nicer than trebls

It was made by TFG but think they stopped making it a few years ago.

Hi I only ever use spinning reels for my pike fishing and rarely use a float (bobber). I have free spool setting on the reel which allows the fish to take the bait without feeling resistance. I like to tighten up to the fish within a few seconds of it picking up the bait. This usually results ina hook up. Hope that helps 👍👍

@SLSFishing where is the free spool setting on a spinning reel? Is it that switch that's on the bottom of the spinning reel which can make it reel backwards?

@@craigwagner327 you have to buy a specialist spinning reel with a fr spool facility something like PENN Penn Spinfisher VI Live Liner Spinning Reels-SSVI4500LL

@@SLSFishing ok thanks

Glad you enjoyed it 👍 check out some of my others. Catching Rooster fishbin Costa Rica was a good one 👍

Thanks always good to hear positive feedback 👍👍 Thanks for subscribing to.

Exactly my thinking prefer to lose a fish than deep hook it. Having said that the only fish I lost in that session was on the rod with a conventional snap tackle set up. 👍

Hi Iron, I would say give it a try 👍👍

Hi Victor thanks for your kind words I will hopefully get over to one of the big reservoirs for another fly fishing video soon. Happy Christmas 🎄

Thanks Karl it was a fun session and hope to do a few more in the not too distant future 👍. Get out and have a few lessons on the fly, I think you will enjoy it 😊

@@SLSFishing I may try in the summer 🎣👊

Work has been pretty full on 👍 hope to do more fishing over the next few months 😊

5/0

Hi Robert I use inline circle hooks as they are meant to be safer for the fish. I believe offset circle hooks were designed for commercial long line fishing as the fish hook themselves.

TFG day shelter, so quick to erect and take down 👍

Thanks Neil I appreciate your comments 👍 😀 I Hope you have success using circle hooks to. Tight lines.

Hi Alan, glad you liked the video 👍👍 It was my first time with circles and each time I left it around 5 seconds from hearing the alarm to winding into it. Worked pretty well for me.

@@SLSFishing My experence with singles "j" hooks, is that pike take the bait more confidently than with trebles. I have moved to chunks of fish on a hair and hitting at the very first indication. Circles now purchased !

Hi Rob we were at the Riu Palace next door to the Guanacaste. The guy who hired me the kayaks isnt there anymore. The shore fishing is okay for Lady fish blue runners and if your lucky Rooster and Snapper by the rocks. If you want to get onto some monsters check out the trips I did with Gary Salazar I have three vids cacthing Roosters big snappers hooking into sailfish all from the kayak. He has some amazing Hobie Kayaks and is an AMAZING fishing guide. Search him on Facebook to see what I mean. Go out with him is my advice as well as taking your own gear for shore fishing. Small jigs work really well from the shore. Light tackle, 20lb flouro leader . Live bait will get you onto Roosters, Blue runners or Moonfish work best if you can catch them.

@@SLSFishing really appreciate your reply, we are at the Palace too. I've already watched you're videos 👍👍 looks amazing and I can't wait to get there..thanks Rob

Hi Paul its made by TFG and they called it the day shelter. I think they stopped making it as I cant find it online anymore. Seems a shame it that's the case because it takes about 30 seconds to erect and dismantle. I love mine.

Hi James I have fished trebles for Pike for over 40 years and am going to be moving over to circles going forwards. I have heard people saying circle hook cause massive damage but this flies in the face of studies done in America where in a lot of states they are mandatory, specifically as they do less damage than J hooks and trebles. Makes unhooking easy and far quicker with little to no chance of gut hooking.

@@SLSFishing since leaving that comment I've had 4 pike to mid doubles in one day session and a morning session on circles, a livebait trout (6/7" long) hooked behind the dorsal, every pike has been perfectly hooked in the scissors and little to no damage and the live bait stays lively for AGES! Not going back to trebles again, I've also found that I don't get a kinked trace as it's never inside the jaws so I sharpen the hook and fish again, in fact all 4 fish were on the same trace and hook! Many thanks

@@jamestheferret that sounds perfect! What a great session. I am fishing in Mauritius for a few weeks then be doing some pike fishing so hopefully get some more videos on soon 👍👍👍

Couldn't agree more!

I tightened and leant back into the weight. If you think that is a strike I assume you are new to fishing.

Good to know!

Hi and thanks for subscribing 👍. I was using 5/0 Mustad inline circle hooks. Give them a go and see how you get on. Remember tighten into the run, don't strike. Also when mounting the hook make sure most of the bend and point are visible, you can even hair rig the bait which I guess would increase hook ups even more.

Do you think the hooking is better with shrink tube?

@@jamestheferret I just did it to try and make the hook turn in extra( hopefully) it's just back to my carping days I suppose.i feel it gives me a better hooking ratio but that's open to discussion

@@philclark6250 thanks, it's a mine field of information, freely able to move vs shrink tube (hook eye wise)

@@jamestheferret don't forget,you don't strike you sort of reel into the fish

@@philclark6250 so went pike fishing yesterday with size 6/0 circle hook live rainbow trout around 8" long with the hook just behind the dorsal. Three pike took the bait three pike on the bank, biggest was only 12lb 8oz but perfect hook hold in each fish. Trying not to strike was hard! Just wound down slowly until I connected and felt it set. I was with a friend who's actually the river bailiff on the trout fishery I was fishing, he took the piss loads about circle hooks until he saw me catch and the ease of Unhooking. Now he wants me to tie up a few traces for him haha

Hi Brian, thanks for your comment 😊I have three Greys GR 60's 1 x 7 weight and the other two 8 weights, all three 10ft long. I really rate them but cant say I have much experience with many other rods to make a comparison. Tight lines yourself. Fishing in Mauritius soon so hopefully put a few exotic vids on.

Hi Sweeney the shelter if a TFG day shelter, super quick to put up and take down. I think they may have stopped making them as I searched online and cant see them anymore which is a great shame. 5/0 in line circle hook is what I was using.

Hi Mister Wilson the shelter if a TFG day shelter, super quick to put up and take down. I think they may have stopped making them as I searched online and cant see them anymore which is a great shame. Circle hooks are the way forward for me.

Worth a second go I reckon, just make sure most of the hook is visible and free from the bait.

Hi Dave it was an incredible scrap as you could probably tell from my over enthusiastic commentary lol 😂😂. The rod is a Grey GR 60 7 weight with Rio Gold line and 10lb flouro leader.

Hi David glad you enjoyed the videos. I know I am impatient when it comes to letting the flies hang at the end of the retrieve, still it gives me something to work on 😉👍

Hey Darrell it was over quickly but WOW did it get my heart racing!!!! Great meeting you and your wife on the dive yesterday 😀

I am back out again tomorrow so fingers crossed I hook and and stay connected to it 👍. Shame about the sea weed in Mexico.

It's only a very short clip Karl, more coming soon 👍

@@SLSFishing 👍

I only ever use in line, sea and freshwater 👍
