I've been piking for years and I never new about the swivel on the wire getting scuffed and potentially cutting through the line. makes perfect sense now you have explained it. liked and subscribed. Thanks mate
cheers for the sub... yeah its small things like that which makes a difference to losing a fish and landing a fish. espesh a fish of a life time possibly...
Brilliant video mate. I’m a carp man myself but my father has insisted I get into pike/zander fishing so this winter I’m going to give it a good go. I hate paying for pre made rigs and traces so now I’ve watched you video I’ll be going to get everything I need and have a bash at making my own as if the trace does fail it’s only me to blame and I’m sure making them yourself is a far lot better than a machine made one. Once again great video.
Very good videos and excellent channel. I love fishing on the River Thames. I really like their technical explanations. Thanks for posting !!!! Jorge from Argentina
hi there, it don't matter fella, last year or last week it all about helping newbies into pike fishing and I have at least 2 more "how too" coming up. subscribe so u don't miss out!
Ha Ha just winding you up mate, I'm a Londoner myself and I've fished Berry Hill a few times ,although i'm now in living in Lithuania, the fishing is incredible here, lakes galore . Keep up the good work
Graham Wright nice one. I hear the fishing is great out there. My best friend married a lady from there and hes goes there on hoilfay and fishes, said its amazing! Thanks for ur comments and kerp watching fir mote videos on the way
Well explained, I’m going to try and make a video trace making. Never worked out why people put a swivel on a trace? I just have a loop with swivel on my braid👍
any distance depending on what size bait you are planning too use, I don't like the top treble to go beyond 2/3 or 1/2 down the body of the bait, I find the closer the trebles are together the less chance I have of deep hooking a pike, that being said, I do step up size of hooks again depending on bait size and I like to hit my runs early, even if it means I drop a few fish on the take! watch my video on rigging and hooking dead and live baits on this channel
Have you heard of the lasso pike rig? If so do you no how to tie one. Someone told me about it, he caught 5 pike that day with it but im not sure how to tie it.
yes I do, it is something I have used in the past, I might make a video on that soon, I made this 5 years ago for begainners to trace making, but I might revisit it again and make a few traces for Piking in a new video!
I know it does, I like using shrink tubing, but using sleeves is convenient and it what I had in my tackle box at the time, most trace makers use sleeves... but yes I do like the neat finish shrink tubing does...
@@finlayheatlie5087 I will make more in future! but to be honest there isn't too many types of pike traces u will need, only different types of hooks and hooking patterns! not like carp rigs!
Kevin Woolner i tespect ur opinion. But the wire doesnt get wasted it will be used on my other rigs like pop up ledger traces etc... and i have never in 20 years of making my own traces haf one fail on me cos how i crimp it. Bit thanks for ur comment :)

Excellent job well done and thank you

popped up at perfect time, great job barrie
cheers pal
love your vids pal, lets hope that COVID does not stop our pike fishing as my match gear is away and my pike gear is coming out
Well explained, I’m going to try and make a video trace making. Never worked out why people put a swivel on a trace? I just have a loop with swivel on my braid👍
Its just how I have always made them and its works for me! However I know what you mean!!!
What is the distance between the trebles please ?
any distance depending on what size bait you are planning too use, I don't like the top treble to go beyond 2/3 or 1/2 down the body of the bait, I find the closer the trebles are together the less chance I have of deep hooking a pike, that being said, I do step up size of hooks again depending on bait size and I like to hit my runs early, even if it means I drop a few fish on the take! watch my video on rigging and hooking dead and live baits on this channel
Good video making it look simple .
Have you heard of the lasso pike rig?
If so do you no how to tie one.

@@LondonPredatorAngler thanks for your reply mate.
Id really appreciate it if you could do a video on the lasso pike rig if you get time please mate.
Brilliant, thanks Barry :)
Glad you enjoyed it
shrink tube does a better and neater job than a sleeve
I know it does, I like using shrink tubing, but using sleeves is convenient and it what I had in my tackle box at the time, most trace makers use sleeves... but yes I do like the neat finish shrink tubing does...
Nice vid. Thanks
thanks, hope it helped!
Молодцы, очень вери гуд!
Great explanation but one point why bother putting a coloured sleeve on the swivel end you dont want the pike to target that!
Rob your compeyely right. I just do it to keep it uniform. OCD i guess lol
so helpful
Glad it was helpful!
@@LondonPredatorAngler please make more of these because im a beginner and am learning my knots and how to make dead bait traces
@@finlayheatlie5087 I will make more in future! but to be honest there isn't too many types of pike traces u will need, only different types of hooks and hooking patterns! not like carp rigs!
@@LondonPredatorAngler ok great channel guys
Too much waffle. Moved on
don't watch it then, its for begainners!!!!
my father said eagle claw was the best....
You waste a lot of wire making your traces , also you are crimping the swivel and end too tight to the crimp
Kevin Woolner i tespect ur opinion. But the wire doesnt get wasted it will be used on my other rigs like pop up ledger traces etc... and i have never in 20 years of making my own traces haf one fail on me cos how i crimp it. Bit thanks for ur comment :)
