NEW TACKLE! Comparison and initial thoughts between Trident and Gemini
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 гру 2019
- I recently purchased terminal tackle from Trident Developments and waited eagerly for the parcel to be delivered. Postage was reasonable in cost and the package arrived within a few days neatly wrapped.
The 3 components I ordered came in the following numbers:
Aero-pulley x 12
Roto-bait clip x 12
Termalink x 24
I was keen for an initial look and to compare with the Gemini versions that I use for most of my fishing. My favoured rig is a pulley or variation of it and this accounts for almost all of my beach fishing.

I’m very interested to hear your views especially if you are already fishing with the items of tackle? What have been the positives and negatives and which are your favourites?
Before I was told this lost loads rigs this trick cut it in half , so the new pulley item is great , my Gemini pulley beads use instead of zip slides.
Simon, I’m looking very closely at my pulley rigs to try and simplify and make them the best they can be. Any feedback and tips are very much appreciated.
Big fish rig , I rarely use only when trying for rays and hounds, one up one down rig or paternoster. Due to length of snood , better bites from shorter snoods.
@@simoncheesman5749 agreed shorter snoods het better hook ups.
But I will always use the pulley rig over rocky ground or kelp.
If you cast anything out other than a pulley when fishing at Portland Bill,youre just gonna lose rig after rig.
Horses for courses
Just started using the gemini solo bait clips. Always used imps in the past but I've changed my casting style and gemini works better. As for pulley rigs I only ever use breakaway proper pulleys.
Thank you for your totally unbiased approach to the components Mark, there is a few features in the designs of the components that people have missed, therefore gary will be doing some informative videos explaining the components in more depth, some of what people are calling flaws/negatives are purposely built into the design which will come apparent once the trident videos have been released, look forward to seeing part two after you have had chance to test the gear, good luck with your UA-cam channel and good luck with your fishing.
Regards micky
Thank you for your reply Micky. I hope that it has come across as being my initial thoughts over a much anticipated delivery and first look. I find the concept refreshing and love the design aspect. If I have missed anything I’m sure it will become apparent in use and I am happy to be corrected if I’ve got it wrong.
Merry Christmas.
Hi Mark, a great vid! Just started sea fishing again after 40 years, got some Trident Terminal Tackle. I found it ok for now. I've never tried a Gemini. You've got the right idea - a hybrid!! A great vid look forward to the next. Malc and Ann North Lincs xxx. ps the Trident gear is really precision made - a good engineering feat.
Glad you enjoyed the video and if it helps at all then it’s a double bonus. Let me know how you get on with starting up again. 🎣👍🏻
Been using trident tackle for a few months now so cheap and effective not let me down once. Terma links everywhere. The pulleys work a treat and run well. The rota clips release every time. Merry Christmas look forward to great content in the new year.
Good evening Marc and thank you for the comment. Sounds like you are enjoying using the Trident stuff which is good to hear. I do especially like the Terma links.
Plenty of stuff planned for the year ahead as I’m just finding my feet with filming and editing but there is a full season of fishing to capture.
🐟🎄Merry Christmas 🎄🐟
Really looking forward to seeing the updates Mark 👍🏻
I have fished them in comparison but a little early to call it yet but the result will be interesting.
And ther is pros and cons to ordering online compared to your local tackle shop ..ordering online Penn surfblaster 2 cost me £67.14 and my local tackle shop wanted £120. When there is it cost difference the size of that Nealy double the price from my local tackle shop, i still go to get bait form ther so get my information from them then but money talks I could have bought 2 on line compared to 1 from the tackle shop . And you still get the costermer service on line as I did when I got a faulty one
scott, fair point.
@@seaangling just order my trident tackle now give it a work out
Hi Mark, only just found your page, but if this is the quality of your output, then I'm glad I've found it. Definitely one of the most unbiased review / comparisons I've come across. I've been using the Trident components since they first hit the market, and have had no problems other than using the Roto Clip with cold hands, I find them a bit "fiddly". My usual rig body is 80 lb and I've not had a problem with the line rubbing using the Aero pulley, will be interesting to see how you go on with using heavier line. Your subscribers tally has just gone up , cheers and looking forward to the next instalment 🎣🎣👍👍
Thank you for the kind words and your support.
Great review Mark. Merry xmas to you and yours...
Merry Christmas to you too, may all your fish be specimens 😉🐟
A lot of positives for both as you mentioned. 👍 I have switched to straight trident now but it’s very much subjective between the two depending on your needs. I never really got on the the splashdowns as have lots quite a few leads with them. Looking forward to part two. 👍
Solent SeaGoo have you got any tips for how you put the items together to make your pulley rig. I’m interested to know if I’m missing anything?
Hi folks... Consider the following, if you will.
1st... A powerswivel on mainline braid or shockleader will also go through rod tip ring. A genie link on shockleader CAN snag on lost rigs, and a swivel is less likely to do that. So... Once you tie powerswivels onto your mainline, you can use up your genie links, or start using trident termalink.
2nd.. I also use beads to make the snood stand off at the pulley.
3rd. Trident currently has two versions of pulley, the later version more suitable for sensitive Italians since it does not cross line. (Less friction in pulley) (As they use smaller weights and smaller fish can lift that more easily.) Both versions work very well at our Belgian beaches and wide canals.
4rth, The ROTO is suited for of the ground and cheaper than the gemini.
BUT... some folks will find the gemini will more easily release J bend hooks under size two (O shauhnessy or gamakatsu 314 are J bend.) The current ROTO has little or no problem with hooks like aberdeens or vikings, down to size two round bend... and is actually less likely to seize up because of trapped sand or clay than a gemini.
4th or 5th.
One can tie rigbody line to a gemini splash, but one MUST use metal to connect rigbody to a ROTO
(One reason you get 24 per pack is that a rig needs two termalink.)
How you connect your weight to your ROTO is up to you. For ease of rapid switching I currently intruduce a closed snaplink, since that is also prettty much snag free.
The folks at Trident tried to make the entire rig system as snag free as could be, so it would be smart to figure out how NOT to intruduce snaggy bits.
Paul Edwards (sandman tackle time) commented on that when he discussed genie links.
Genie link upside down, hanging onto a swivel on mainline is OKAY, but Paul saw what it can do in a tacckle graveyard when it is used old fashioned ways, tied to main...
I am from the East Flanders, Belgium, so forgive me my pedanticness.
Jaak.
All very valid points and worth considering.
My favourite Trident item is the termalink but they are bulky for the finer aspects.
I have gone back to Gemini snood links clipping onto swivels as I like how thin/fine they are and having the detachable snood is a massive bonus.
Well done Mark. Good review, very fair. As you put it and without any bias. I’ll be staying loyal to the tackle shops. Without their support I’d be most of the time fish less. It’s always nice to have a reassuring chat.
Thank you Ian, I’m keen to get out fishing now as the weather and work have conspired up until now. Should get the chance for a few sessions over the coming week.
What a fantastic review,and so well put over.I'm a bog standard swivels and beads user with either a Breakaway Imp or Impact Shield.Quick,easy and cheap to make ! Think you must be psychic too,I was just thinking about a third option,and then you mention the hybrid !! Look forward to hearing how they compare.
Thank you for the kind comments. There is nothing wrong with simplified rigs and I’m trying to do exactly that with mine using the most appropriate items for best effect.
Morning Mark.
Another absolutely brilliant video.
Really enjoyed this video.
What are the weights you are using here ???
Gonna sort tackle out today just moved house btw you could be the new John Noakes lol.
Have a great festive period and tightlines.
Regards Chris
Chris, the leads are Breakaway impact leads and I really like them. If I’m not chasing casting distance I use these leads without a bait clip for a simplistic rig. If I need the extra distance I cast off the ground and clip up my hook on a captive bait clip.

Seasons greetings to you too and here’s looking forward to an exciting year of Angling. 🎣🐟
I've been using the Trident tackle for over 3 months now in Norway and here in Shetland were l have had cod upto 20lb and very impressed with it.l am currently testing a new product from them that you will find useful and have also had great results. Looking forward to see you review on it when it is released.
Tom, it certainly sounds like you are giving it a good workout and I’m sure your findings will be very informative.
Hi Mark Probably a bit late to add a comment to this thread but one responder here claimed that he found the roto clip tricky to use. I found the same and now use splash downs which solve the problem. However, I also found that if you use a wide gap hook (Gamakatsu for one) it is easy to combine bait and roto clip. Despite being loaded with bait the WG hook releases just fine from the roto clip. Also reports from users down here claim an increased hook rate when using the WG's.
They act like circle hooks with fish hooking themselves with no strike needed.
All good points Alan, I have used pear clips for some applications.
Personally I prefer to keep my rigs as sumple as possible.
Im a sucker for not fixing what isnt broken.
I think we are all guilty sometimes of trying things purely out of boredom.
I prefer the Gemini pulley beads,but admittedly their links are a bit "snaggy"
When I used to carp fish we used a length of silicone tube approx 1" to sleave a quick change link.
It helps to stop snagging and also prevents your snood unhooking itself, if the fight is protracted.
Gemini certainly do need to watch their prices though
Karl, they are all good valid points and I feel there are going to be parts I do and do not use. I like the Termalinks as they are less snaggy but simplicity is the key.
I will be keeping an eye out for your trial results.
Fish well,stay safe
;-)
Hi Mark, i use the termalink mainly on my leader for quick changing rigs and on rigs as you do ( hook links etc) not had any issues with the rotoclip either both been excellent and i will be stocking up.👍👍🎣🎣
gary, good to hear they are working well for you. What length hook snood do you use on your pulley rigs?
Well done on the first look review,brought up many a point that I have found with the trident components over the last couple of months.
I agree with most of the points you raised . I myself do very much like the termalink, the pulley is ok but Gemini is my go to pulley bead . The roto clip I have found can be fiddly with a larger bait and hook but does have the advantage of being able to cast ofg without it coming unclipped if you loose tension on rig . Mainly use imps or splashdowns depending on rig/ bait used on the day .
One point to mention and it is the only negative for the termalink is that on some of my conti rods it will not pass through the rod eyes and as I like to leave a link attached to my leader this is an issue for me . Pricing on all the products is great 👍.
Referring to the problem raised about the splashdowns throwing a lead on occasions ,yes I have experienced this myself but I believe there are certain factors as to why this happens in my experience . The main culprit seems to be when using leads with a wire loop ie breakaway impacts sooner than a single leg and circle ⭕️ to connect to . The lead can pivot round 90 degrees and lever against the clip which in turn can open up the link
Really interesting feedback and good to hear from someone that has fishing experience with the items. Thank you for taking the time to comment as I’m sure it will help others. 👍🏻
Merry Christmas 🎄☃️🎅🎣
Merry Christmas mate...
Merry Christmas buddy, I wish you tight lines for the New Year.
Hi Mark haven't used any of the new terminal tackle that you are talking about on on your blog video just started sea fishing after 10 years away from this Sport due to to work commitments away from home which is where I live in Swansea. where did you get the very brightly coloured weights from what did you spray them with a rubber coating. rod
The coloured weights are “continental” weights and widely available if you search for that description.
Full respect to you re fishing tackle shops BUT they are in charge of their own destiny
I realise that and the inevitable may well be no high street retail eventually.
Shops like Poindestres have a large online presence and do most of their business there with the shop serving as a secondary consideration.
Hi Mark, good in depth comparison, I will tell you my own personal problems. I fish very heave rock marks and clean to mixed ground haven marks. I will use a complete Trident tackle pulley for the clean grounds as I can get away with using the Lowe diameter rig bodies for the aero pulley. However when chasing the cod I use a hybrid like you mentioned in your video, up and over rig consisting of many different components from varivas, Gemini and trident (roto only). For heavy rock marks I use 200lb straight through pulley which again a mixture of the above mentioned and the roto clip. I personally don’t like how easy the splash downs wear after a few sessions and like you said the expense for something that fails after a few sessions just doesn’t do it justice. Tight lines 🎣
Thank you, I appreciate your comments and i'm interested to learn more about fishing heavy rock marks as that is something I haven't done.
Great discussion mark, i personally use a combination of the items you’ve mentioned except for Trident pulley bead, i just prefer the Gemini bead, the termalink and roto clip have been great so far 🤞👍👍🎣🎣 also my local tackle shop won’t get the Trident gear in stock because they can’t make a profit on it so it’s Mail order for me most of the time.👍👍 another item of tackle i will mention is leads two shops i use, a six ounce lead in one shop is 60 pence same lead in the other one is £1. 30 🤔
gary, how are you finding the roto clip in use? Have you found lots of uses for the Termalink which is easily my favourite out of the 3 items?
Hi really enjoying your content, a question for you.
I remove my rig to bait up and think your idea of removing just the snood is a really great but and here the question:I find it almost impossible to make snoods exactly the same length, I use the uni knot, how do you do it as the snood doesn't line up for the bait clip unless it's the correct length.
Also I think your spot on about the cost, if we change to on line only, we may lose our tackle shop, which is a irreplaceable resource in my opinion, company's like gemini need to meet us half way.
Thanks for sharing!
wayneo, on the pulley rig the hook snood just has to be shorter than the rig body so fairly simple to do and doesn’t have to be super accurate. If you are using fixed clip down rigs I use a Gemini spring which makes it easier.
Nice video 👍🏻.....what size bead do you use with the Gemini pulley please...
Mr LV they are quite big, I think they are 8mm but I’d have to check.
Mark, I fished with a trident tackle rig the other day, as youm probably saw. I concur, i found putting the baited hook into the roto clip awkward. The termalnk is a lovely bit of kit. The aero pulley, i don't like. my conclusion is the same as yours gemini pulley bead, termalink to hook snood and splashdown clip to weight.
The Autistic Angler with all of that in mind there is still the cost to consider. What size hook were you using with the roto-bait clip?
I do think the Gemini pulley will be hard to beat but I’m looking forward to trying it all out.
Merry Christmas buddy and all the best for the New Year.
i used a 3/0 mate.wanna buy any roto or areo pulley clips? lol seasons greetings
Do a subscriber freebie and give them to someone else to try 👍🏻
Hi Mark, great video, really informative. Here in Peru, we don't use pulley rig, we mainly use Japanese techniques and lately we are using Italian and Portuguese rigs...so it is new for me, but I found it very interesting and I've already ordered some pieces from Trident, but I couldn't find info or videos of how it really works on fishing..specially the roto bait clip, with bait on the hook, we use a kind of shrimp, soft, clear, and very delicate, so I'm not clear on how it works with a big piece of bait on the hook, could you pls help me with some ideas on how to tie and place the bait to work with the roto bait clip? Thanks!
Raul Perales, the rotobait is thicker than some other bait clips but very reliable when releasing. Presentation would depend on the shape of the hook you intend using and it’s size?
Very informative review bud! Let us know if and when you feild test the trident tackle.. I did try however was in a match and line was cut first cast😭
Losing line during a match is far from ideal, did you make up for it and how did you do?
Ive got a variety of sessions planned for the near future so it will give it all a good workout and i'll update along the way.
Merry Christmas.
Finished with 295cm😁😁 glad to hear youve got some outings planned, maybe I'll see you out and we can compare notes😉
Merry Christmas to you!!
Hi Mark , i like long hook lengths on pully rigs usually around 34/35 inches they work for me,might be too long for some,but they work 🎣🎣
gary, I think bait presentation is more natural with a longer trace and allows a bit more movement in the current/tide.
I had a bad night with the splash down at Reculver it jammed open and I couldn’t use it any more changed it to an imp problem solved I won’t use splash downs any more
Do you cast off the ground with the imp?
Mark Williams Sea Angling no mate I haven’t tried that but that maybe the only draw back with the imp but other than that it’s faultless always releases and does not get jammed up and does not eject the lead as in some cases the splashdown clip has done in the past .
I regularly use an imp on my up and over rigs and they are faultless other than not holding the hook captive. It just restricts casting distance a little. If that isn’t a problem then I like the reliability.
Can I ask where the follow up video when you used the tackle side by side is please I have looked but can’t find it
Still to be made. I’ve used them in separation and made some comparisons is other videos but not yet in one specific video. It’s on the list of things to do. 👍🏻
What’s the difference now you’ve added 3 beads to the rig ?
You don't need a swivel, the genie clip will go straight onto the aero pulley. Also you don't need to use all of one or all of the other. Use the Gemini pulley with terms links and roto clip if that makes you happy. I haven't had any problems with the Trident gear but I don't use pulleys very often.
terry, I’ll give it a go.
Most tackle shops do most there business online so Garry selling his 4 products online is the only way he can build his business and develop more products. Are Gemini products made in the UK?
instead of tying the terma link on youre rig you ty the roto baitclip to rig . but put a leadclip first under in the roto baitclip!! now you can change your lead .
that is my way of making my rigs with trident tackle. catch a big on and greatings from The Netherlands :)
Very interesting. is there a pt2 in a fishing situation video to this?
Good question and one in need to revisit. I have come to some conclusions but need to consolidate that into a pt2 follow up. 👍🏻
I've decided to get back into fishing after nearly 30yrs out! It's have taken me months to decide on what tackle to buy, as things have changed so much. I used to make my own traces, but decided to buy pre made-up ones. then see what ones are best. So many to choose from. The biggest problem was deciding on what real? I'm a multiplier user, and always used Abu, but some of the best reviews were Akios 656 ctm. I've never even heard of them. So decided to buy and try them. Do you know anything about this make? Great vids by the way.
Tony, I’m not the best person to speak to about multipliers as I’ve gone back to fixed spool reels. Most of my fishing is from the beach and usually at night. I like the simplicity of a big fixed spool.
Despite this I have been watching other videos with interest and have seen plenty of reviews for the Akios and Penn variants. Sorry I can’t be any more help but I’m not up to speed on these.
WRT rigs I personally feel there are 2 that cover most needs and they are the pulley rig and the 3 hook flapper/3 hook clipped down.
Like you, I love beach fishing, especially at night. You really cant beat that. Thanks for the heads on the rigs.
Tony, if you seek me out on Facebook/messenger and make contact I’ll send you the components to make a couple of pulley rigs using the new Trident stuff.
@@seaangling Thank you Mark, that's very kind.
Both, will work together..
Absolutely.
I for one would rather pay a bit more in a tackle shop , the Intel you get from them is worth more than a few Penny's stay loyal to one or two and you will reap rewards I only go on line if I can not get what I want from them which is not very often . love your channel I may even start my own next year
Ian Hillier I’ll keep my eye out for your channel or feel free to message me when you are ready. I’ve had lots of help from other “Tubers” and happy to pass on what I’ve learnt. Merry Christmas Ian 🎄 ☃️ 🎅
Cheers mark I will hold you to that have a good one
I have to ask you about the trident tackle is any good.?????????
I do appreciate it if let me know
Thank you
Absolutely and I believe it was initially tried out in Norway fishing for cod before release. I have had a 174lb fish held on a rig clipped to a termalink.
I also use rota bait clip but I use small Cox and rawle hooks and they don’t clip in neatly
I am a big fan of Trident stuff, but if you use small hooks (and small baits), roto is not the best option. Instead use the Breakaway Imps or a Genie link with bait clip.
From my experience though, I have never had any problems with roto bait clip, even using no3 hooks.
Mark, I have heard there are cases where Trident Roto clip comes apart, I cannot believe that, have you heard anything?
I have not had one fail and there seems to be very little that could go wrong. Anything can fail eventually I suppose the question would be “how much use you got out of it?”
just use trident link on the gemini setup
Trapstar that is exactly what I’ve started doing.
How is it? Out of the 3 rigs?
@@trapstar1998 I am still giving them plenty of use and to be fair to all of them. Something I recently thought about and started doing was to standardise my rigs to share the same hook snoods. My pulley, pulley dropper and up and over rigs are now all sized to take standard length snoods. It should make rig and bait changes quicker at the beach.
The trident bait clip can be fidley I went back to the gemini gear for my rigs
I use Gemini by default but like to check out what else there is. I have been using the Solo splash down lead for the majority of my South Coast fishing.
Splashdown and Gemini pulley bead for me. The termalink I really like though and used it to replace the Gemini one on my setup. Occasionally the line would get caught on the Gemini one which is no problem with the Trident one. Wishing you a Merry Christmas Mark and fish filled 2020.
Perch Rock Fishing thank you for the support and comment. I’ve sub’d and been catching up on your channel 👍🏻
Merry Christmas and have an amazing New Year.
Great review Mark, Just ordered a few Roto's and Terma Links to try myself, seeing as they're a reasonable price... Didn't bother with the pulley because I know they won't be as good as the Gemini one and or others I own... I'm curious as to which size hooks you feel the rotos will suit with bait.... I remember the blue Solo's being a bit small till they brought the red ones out but both the solo's one have their uses... Would you say the roto's are probably best suited to the bigger hooks?
I think it will depend on a few things, hook size, hook shape and bait presentation.
Any of the larger throat hooks will fit and I tried it with a 4/O Kamasan.
If you present your hook on the outside of the bait there will be more of the hook bend/throat to clip down compared to running the hook through the centre of the bait will be more “snug”.
Ive never had probs with imps I've got most in my boxes and the roto works well but imps never once let me down The locking the hook in is good though eh All these rigs are sold to us as needing all the dif clips but we all know its not really needed eh We all do it though
Used imps for years with zero issues. Was always very happy with them until I started off the ground casting. Gemini solos work much better.
@@tytzup5397 Tytz up... Like you, there was times an IMP rig would bump and become a flapper. But the gemini is not without issues either. Over here we kinda always use MUCH smaller hooks than what a roto or IMP can take as maximum, and the sole, if not main advantage of gemini splash is exactly that it can release smaller than number two size hooks.
But you could add a quick link to go swivel to swivel
scott, you could but I do like to keep things to a minimum and as simple as possible. You are right though and that is a consideration.
One thing I like to do especially when it is windy is to attach a weight onto the end of my shockleader when changing rigs to stop the main line blowing around, I do this directly onto the genie link. There is no one way of doing these things and I hope that came across in the footage.
Hi I was wondering what is that link on your pulley rig for changing your hook snood
I do like a detachable hook snood but sometimes I will tie direct without it. If I think I can bait up between casts I’ll do it and for some species it is easier to disconnect to unhook.
What are they called thanks
What are they called the clip that you attach hooks snoods to
@@andrewwhyte8551 the Trident ones are called Termalinks, the Gemini ones are super strength rig clips.
Great vid mate gunna give these trident stuff ago but I've never had a pulley pennel come back tangled :/
I now use the termalink regularly on most of my rigs and have grown to really like it. I think I still prefer the Gemini pulley bead and undecided between an Imp or Rotobait depending on conditions.
@@seaangling I was using the solos untill they started dumping the lead before I even cast(was doing otg) what's your thoughts on the roto for otg
The Roto is good within the range of hooks it will take. Needs to have the correct lead to match otherwise release suffers and hook location/hold is quite wide. For a 1/O - 5/O it works well.
Putting a Gemini link on your reel line doubles the chance of a snag , to prove this pull the Gemini link through a bundle of line , this doesn't happen with a swivel, not my theory but hopefully will help.
Simon, I totally agree but it has been my preferred “link” up to now and I’ve never collected line from that position. I have brought in line from lower down though.
I already contacted Trident about the Roto bait clip and told them that a size 6 hook does'nt fit in the clip, they will thinck about the problem and try to adjust it...that's wat i'm told
If you are keen to use a 6/O hook, have you considered using a “stinger” hook purely for clipping up?
Can I just say that on the topic of friction on the trident pulley, maybe the fact that water is involved, they are using the same concept that we use when tightening knots that liquid cuts the heat friction, therefore not damaging the line? I'm only surmising as I haven't used this. What you think? On topic of tackle shops, my local tackle shop employes a fella who knows nothing about fishing so he couldn't give their "secret marks" away. They employed him for computer knowledge. Shame really but in days now of social media that's the best place to talk with fellow anglers for info.
I use the trident stuff as my default for pulley rigs and continue to use them. The Hangover and Termalink have become important parts of my tackle over all.
Local knowledge is key and tackle shops miss a trick if they don’t collect, consolidate and share this. Tackle and bait, venues and local specifics all add to make fishing successful and keep anglers engaged.
@@seaangling I'm used to just using breakaway leads and genie clip but think I'll give the trident gear a shot, and the price is pretty good too. Tight Lines Mark
Will Maynard to be honest it is all down to personal preference. One rig will fish well for one person and not for another.
If I was to choose one deciding factor it would be the quality of bait.
@@seaangling . Very true. I'm from Northern Ireland and am lucky to be from a small seaside village. We are blessed with 2 cracking beaching both of which have huge lug beds at times. Can't beat fresh. Helps having some mates who run creels for a living too so never a shortage of crab either 😀. Bait is key.
Hey Mark. Did you do the comparison?
Not a direct one with conclusions but it is coming.
@@seaangling cheers, interested to know what you think. I prefer the gemini, breakaway pulley instead of the trident pulley, but the terminal and roto bait clips are on par if not better than its rivals, and cheaper, and dare I say, better made.
@@fattogreatnessweightloss3540 you have actually summed up exactly where I’m at with them.
With the trident kit seems to many bells and whistles for such a simple rig, especially fishing fast snaggy swims.
The Termalinks are very sleek with little to no snagging hazzard.
Change your clip to a swivel and put the clip on your traces. Reason... your hook link can't get in your clip. Also weed and other people's line can slide over not catching your clip.speeds up getting back in the water.
Good point and works for some rigs. What would you use to attach the shock-leader swivel to a Gemini pulley swivel?
@@seaangling pair of pliers bend the clip eye to the side enough to slip your pulley swivel on bend back.
Terminate your shockleader with a termalink 🤷♂️ if using the trident, they both suit each other depends which brand you prefer i suppose.
trident web site sais shut until the end of the lockdown
I have heard that.
who is this bloke! not sure he knows what he is talking about! get on yer bike!
Behave Michael 😂
@@seaangling LOL keeping busy.
Trying to but Christmas has got in the way 😂
Like you say it’s a bit of a toss up as to what’s best for you and the tackle shops . As people say “use them or lose them “ if the tackle shops buy direct from trident they could get some discount then make a bit from selling in the shop . I have no problem paying a little more if it means keeping a tackle shop as we do need them , it’s a social place to go and talk about tactics and locations. I’m going to start using termalink at the end of the shock leader . Tight lines and keep up the great work xx
