John, this has changed how I will fish for ever. Like I’ve mentioned before, I’m partially sighted so I would never see a float dip this is why I can’t corse fish. But il be trying this when I go out on my kayak next. Thank you very much mate!

These tips/tricks videos are excellent. Very well explained, appreciate the effort your putting in on our behalf man!

Great video i fish from a SIB mostly inshore over reefs and rocky ground cant wait to try this rig cheers John for all the great vids ive learnt a lot

John, I live in Essex near a decent pier, every week the reports are nothing but whiting, tons and tons of whiting. You can take 40 lug and catch 50 whiting. Something you said about there being small fish must mean there are bigger fish around to feed on them, was stuck in my mind. So I tried this rig, first cast and I had my first conger. Unfortunately I wasn't patient enough to set the hook and it spat the bait at the surface, but I saw it so now cant wait to get back and try again! Keep up the great work and content.

love it.

Hi mate... What's the best way to hook live mackerel and live sandeel/launce. Thanks

Thank u

hi john, i know that is a older video of yours now but i do have a question which has been driving me mad lately......(i can not find any tangle free live bait set ups for wreck fishing), friend of mine keeps saying use scad for live baits but i have been finding that the scad live bait seems to tangle almost every time with the leader or boom when fishing wrecks, joeys are not as bad but they still tangle also, i use a Clear Short Tube Boom as a flying collar set up with a 6oz weight with a 6 foot trace to the hook using 30lb mono, can you advise me what i am doing wrong - maybe i should do something similar to this video - add a small ball weight closer to the live bait which will keep the joey or scad away from the 6oz weight and boom and leader, what do you think john? oh also...boat fishing around my area in teignmouth has been terrible at the moment after the lock down because there is so many gill nets - shame really - they destroy everything or at least cut down on the amount of nets, they are just everywhere, you have watch constantly where you ride your boat or its tangled props as well as my flying collar rigs, thanks john

John, im gonna try some of these electric live baits on this rig but will be fishing from shore and dropping out 300/400m using a drone. Would this rig be suitable and i simply swap the barrel lead for a 6/8oz gripper ? any thoughts on this? btw i haven't tried these electric lures yet but will let you know how i get on . cheers

Would you use this on a charter boat?

Something tells me this might be the best video of yours that I’ve watched! Sounds so much easier to switch over to one of these than putting a float on your line (too much faff haha) plus much more control - genius! Do you think fish ever get spooked by your boat being over the livebait? 👍

- Glad you found it informative. No not massively. I've had fish take a livebait 10ft below the boat as I'm lowering it out.

Are these rigs any good for bottom fishing off piers. Cheers Alan 👍

What weight barrel swivel are you using to keep the live bait down in the water?

Allen Cooke - I don’t use a barrel swivel to keep the bait down. I use a weight. Like shown in the thumbnail and the video. 😉

Thanks forthat John.

- Most areas up river are protected areas. So no livebaiting for bass.

John what rig would be best for live baiting from shore please
