  • This could be the best film to come out of The Totally Awesome Fishing Show. This time Graeme & Mike Pullen set off to test a brand new invention Graeme has made, as an up trace attractor, he used of all things - PLASTIC PICNIC SPOONS! and he shows you exactly how he made them up. It's called the "Bitchin' Twitchin' rig" and will be sure to work on Big River Pike, Lake Pike, and other predators like Perch, Largemouth Bass and the famous Musky. It's a lure/bait combo, featuring the now, world famous SPRAT! made popular with The Totally Awesome Pike catches. This is over 30-minutes long, and features some of Graeme's wacky humour. He might seem like one sandwich short of a picnic - but he can certainly come up with the big fish, of whatever species. It's one not to miss, you can have a laugh and get info on the latest rig, all in the one film.

    I am going to give it the old college try this summer for pike and musky! I think I will not only try it with real bait, but also with some soft plastics. As you Brits say "Brilliant!" Keep up the good work.

    I always make sure to look at the weather for the place you're going at, and paying attention if it rained a day early. nothing worse than fishing flooded water!

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 років тому

    A large sized landing net,with soft mesh.If you net a big one don't lift it by the pole,it will probably snap at the "Y" frame.Carry the Pike by holding the weight using the mesh of the net,but watch for loose hooks .I'm always aware of any loose barbed hooks outside the pike's jaws.

  • @matthewtanner9823

  • @TAFishing

    I guess they could,but I've not had it yet.It certainly seems to get them more aggressive,so next season I expect more crash takes close in to rushes,weedbeds etc. Heart thumping stuff when a double figure fish eats in an explosive swirl.That's why I love it.The unexpected take at the last moment

    Yes,I've been to BC,caught loads of Salmon out of Bamfield using those huge flashers and a hoochee at the back.Plus baits.But I don't think anyone has ever used a silver plastic picnic spoon for pike.You guys get Northern pike over there,I reckon it could be a good technique for them as well.

  • @RagnarrBjorn
    @RagnarrBjorn 10 років тому

    I posted on this video in the past and I really enjoy your show. I have also watched a lot of other UK pike fishing videos here on UA-cam, but I have to ask, why do you Brits always seem to use such very fragile looking nets for pike? Most of the guys that I know over here in the States use the rubberized nets on a more sturdy frame and handle. I understand that a lot of you guys hike into the places you fish, but there are nets on the market (at least over here anyway) that are light weight and collapsible. They not only keep the weight down but they are also are very sturdy and they help keep the fish from being damaged/hurt from the net.
    Any way, love the show and keep up the good work.
    Tight lines.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 років тому

    Worth a try. It should catch pike anywhere. Same principle, but twitch it slower. Last time I was at Bury Hill it had a slight tinge of colour in it, but they do have plenty of predators. I would say it would also work on Zander.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 років тому

    I don't know if they still market or sell it as the spool I have is over 15 years old and I've still got lots left.Try a search engine or sea fishing site as it is for sea fishing really,and probably a lot cheaper than buying wire on small spools for pike.Get a bulk spool it lasts years !!

    i was in powell river when i first saw them but there was one little different the had single octopus hooks on them . but great minds think alike and just to tell you smaller one work well in deep lakes for big trout and like you said pike.
    i when use them this summer it was when we right up next to shore and other stuff would tangle up in the kelp

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 років тому

    Never tried. But if you fished with a mini lightstick/isotope about a foot up the trace it might enhance the flash. Certainly worth a try.

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 років тому

    No idea on weight, but sprats are light, and laterally compressed, that's why I use a big shot to give a bit of casting weight and get them down. No, I don't eat them either. Waste of a good bait !

  • @markaosbron192
    @markaosbron192 7 років тому

    Your videos make a large part of my UA-cam consumption. I'm targeting Catfish this coming season and would like to adopt your twitching method using oily deadbaits. Could you remind me of which video outlines how to reinforce the head of a deadbait to give a stronger hook hold.
    Thanks in advance, you Legend!

  • @BRIZZSmurf
    @BRIZZSmurf 11 років тому

  • @TAFishing
    @TAFishing  11 років тому

    Probably casting too hard and not using either the VB hook or a big single through the bottom and out the top of the head to support it during the cast. Not good with trebles, they don't go far enough back in the head.

    • @TAFishing
      @TAFishing  4 роки тому

      Small bait strike straight away,larger bait give a bit of time,10 seconds,or bit more if you are missing fish on the strike.Could also be a small Pike moving off with a big bait.
