- In the first of our 'Explained' series, we take a look at elastic connectors, which ones you should be using, plus a sneaky hack Jamie uses to modify his!
Another informative insight into what the Top lads do. Jamie Hughes, the smartest, sharpest mind in Angling.🤙
Thank you guys. You are both awesome. I only use Dacron Connectors. But Jamie’s micro Dacron Connectors are totally awesome. Thank you for another great video and tips. Tight Lines Guys
Might end up being too boring... But would like to see how you go about setting up at the start of a match from draw, how do you manage your time effectively when your limited from draw time to the all in?
Jason Hunton same
And could be filmed during Armageddon too!
Thans for the good tip. Andy and Jamie iT was Nice to meet you at the big one Regards from Holland
Great vid again guys, and it would be great if you can show a vid in close up detail on how you tie and attach your loops on pole rigs and attch to the connector as i noticed you had a small loop when you attached the rig, i have a rough idea as i use dacron connectors myself but not many anglers go into detail about attaching the pole rig itself. Tight lines
Great. And thanks for all brill tips ..surely we should see them ready to buy like this on the shelves now ..
Love these two
What you did to the Dacron after you formed the little loop. How you attached elastic to Dacron. Really enjoy your videos very, very informative. Listening and watching to your insight of how and why things happen. Your thoughts on why fish respond the way they do. Has really helped my fishing. Can’t thank you enough.
Make the loop and cut off one tag end so you are left with a small loop and one tag end. Attach your elastic to the loop using whatever knot you prefer. Jamie used an overhand loop again here. Simple as that 👍🏻
What a brilliant yet simple solution to floppy dacrons, this is why Jamie is top dog 👍👍👍👍
What size material did you use for your brilliant idea?
Great video. I am just about to switch to using dacrons. Can you not just shorten the dacron rather than make your own???
Thanks Jamie, I have got to try that carp dacron tip.
Is it worth putting another piece of elastic over the main elastic when discarding the Dacron? That way you would just replace that of damaged as opposed to cutting elastic back??
Just out of curiosity does Jamie connect the Dacron to the elastic on all the other top kits with the usual knot and lasso ? I’ve seen some people now tying the elastic directly on to the Dacron like he did for the shallow rig
I leave a loop at the pull end and after a few weeks reduce the loop and move the connector down the line and snip off the wared elastic. Also use something similar bit thicker but might strong and supple. And never had a rig come off it. I've lost a few to the Dacron connectors.
Brilliant tip shortening Dacron when fishing shalla for f1s thanks lads
I was shown how to make a dacron connector in the early 90s before they were commercially available and there hasn't been anything better in my opinion. The only other way of connecting elastics I use was a method Andy Findlay wrote about, I think it was in Angling Plus ( the best ever match magazine), and that was just a short stiff loop of heavy sea line about an inch in diameter that you tie the elastic to and the loop sits on the PTFE bush. A super light connector.
Spot on as always, please can you tell us the make and strenght of that carp coated braid you used.
cheers
Rich
It’s Fox Coretex Semi Stiff in 35lb 👍🏻
@@WinningWays many thanks
Ok thanks. Will give it a try.
What knot do you use to connect the elastic to the dacron. I have always just knotted the elastic and pulled the dacron behind the knot
Just a nice small over hand loop - Simple :)
Hi brill video what size beads dose Jamie use to what size elastic thanks
Just the medium Matrix ones for all the elastics he uses 👍🏻
Excellent info, cheers boys 👍🎣
I've tried this three times now and every time my dentures come out! ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)
Bin shortening my dacron for ages and it makes a difference.
A great way of making a connector
The Legends have spoken
Love all the winning ways stuff ,what’s the best way to contact the lad Jamie gets his floats Tim moores,can you help us out ,thankyou!!!!
He’s on Facebook, it’s a one man band so you might have to be patient with him 👍🏻
Winning Ways thanks very much,and for getting back to me so quickly,
What make of braid and diameter is that braid Rich? Thanks
It’s Fox Coretex Semi Stiff in 35lb 👍🏻
Jamie, can you explain what you did to tie the braid to the elastic, I just couldn't see. Thank you
Over hand loop 👍🏻
@@WinningWays that was to make the loop wasn't it? How did you fasten that mini connector onto your elastic? sorry if I'm being a bit dull. Thanks...Mark
Great Tip Jamie ;)
Please explain shallow floats. What type. When.
Jamy, which knot do you use for the elastic?
Just an overhand loop
@@WinningWays Thank you very much
Hi you guys. What knot did you to attach the elastic to the Dacron
Overhand loop
@@WinningWays tie an overhand loop then pull down the knot onto the Dacron.
What size of coated braid do u use jamie ? Thanks.
It’s Fox Coretex Semi Stiff in 35lb 👍🏻
Ok thanks I'll give it a go 👍
Brilliant thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Liking that Jamie
Will matrix make them now
Crows foot gone? Tell Rob Wootton that? Ha!
@5:30 put a sleeve over the elastic ie some hollo
I've never had a problem with plastic elastic connectors.
that fraction of a second between the different choices of connector?????? u could have the jamie hughes version, but have crap reaction . its down to anglers reaction. i have fished many different versions, from crows foot, stonfo, and now use dacron... its down to my reaction, not the next ..best thing
As a pole virgin, can you go a bit slower? Otherwise you two are brilliant.
Don't like the way it's done .I double my elastic i/e I put about one inch sleeve over the pole elastic then ad dacron connector so its double sleeved,
Sorry Jamie, would like to try this, but not clear at all. Needs to be done with close up camera work.
Thought it was pretty clear, must be my dodgy camera work... Sorry! Which bit isn't clear?
@@WinningWays just cant see the knot of elastic to dacron.... any chance of a diagram/closeup screenshot?
Matthew Vine over hand loop knot is all that’s needed 👍🏻
@@WinningWays single or double overhand knot?
