- The everything rig- Double your chances with the Wessex rig that is half pulley half ledgering rig. Good for boat and beach. Should only take you a few minutes to tie (my record is 2 minutes 4 seconds !)
Hope you enjoy the video we've had a lot of new subscribers recently from the States and ill be interested to know what rigs we use over here in the U.K will be useful there.
Please let me know if you use a British traditional rig in warmer waters.
Also Big thanks to Key west kayak fishing channel who very kindly promoted me to try and get this channel up to 1000 subscribers.Its really appreciated.
Thanks to all of you new subscribers too its so much fun waking up in the morning to see you have subscribed. (Well actually i check my subscriber levels every 10 minutes during the day too !!! )

The rig can be used for catching large and smaller fish. Put a large hook on the bottom, 2.0 or 3.0 and a smaller hook on the upper snood, 1.0 This increases the chance of catching a variety of fish at different sizes. Great video the static diagram is a nice touch.
Very good video mate I have just subscribed and hit the bell. Thanks. A video that you can see being made and not the person making it. I will certainly watch all the rest of your videos. Take care and stay safe. Tom.
Good to know thanks 🙏
All the words in the world and all the demonstrations with hands in the way count for nothing. All I want is a diagram so thank you for that. I can now confidently the this rig. Cheers :)
Thanks great feedback I'll make sure I put diagrams on all the rig videos
Good video . Nice and clear . I do not understand why you put a crimp on .
Hi there just found your videos finding them very helpful.
Whats the reason behind the top swivel being able to slide?
Like most people im using long pulleys and clipped down rigs but feel a running rig would be very useful as lots of bass on the beach i fish atm unfortunately not had one yet

Cheers Richard generally I think of it as letting a fish take the bait without feeling tension and when you retrieve the rig it lifts the lead up a bit from the seabed to avoid snags. There’s some evidence to say it also presents the bait better further away from the lead. I noticed smoothounds and thornback don’t seem to like the spikey lead and we seem to catch more on a pulley rig of some sort as it keeps them further away with a longer snood in effect
Thanks for the demonstration. Where do you get the yellow card with the beads? Good idea. Also thank you for all your videos and live feeds. Great job!
THis one came witht the beads a local tackle shop
Thanks I noticed that it was with the breakaway no crimps
Nice one, off to Cyprus for some fishing, so will use this rig!
Just made your fig, on a night fish tomorrow at the Mersey so i will give it a go.
Fig ? My bad Rig lol
Thats good to know please let me know how you get on.
Done the night fish at the mersey by Brunswick dock on Friday 2300 to 0430 two rods one with a pulley rig and one with the Wessex rig . Only got two whiting all night . One on each rod. Got the whiting on the bottom hook on the Wessex rig with worm. And man it was cold.
Silly question from a silly guy. After a long break from sea fishing I'll be honest I don't remember most of the rigs and how to tie, which is why I'm here but then again my dad did most of them also
If the line is okay whilest tieng the knot what is the point in crimps? Sorry I'm just trying to work out what I need now what I don't need and what I need to spend
Cheers
Not a silly question! The crimps perform the function of holding a bead in position. You can use a stop knot or powergum too
O right okay cheers for the explanation I'll give it ago sometime this week when I can get to a tackle shop also nice 1at the speedy response to the message, you must of the the quickest I've seen for a long time.
Tight lines
Would this rig be okay for targeting cod?
not really.
A go to scratching rig for me. I don't like using it with gripper leads though, I find the running trace can tangle too easy.
Nice one
That 's right . try a continental style lead .
