The precision this man goes to ...this is why he has became on 5 occasions...world champion..5 times ..so we watch and learn...brilliant info as usual

Perfectionist personified! Joy to watch and learn from the best.

Checked out loads of this mans vids now, he really is a joy watch, listen, and learn from. Thanks Alan and Drennan for putting these vids together.

I love to listen Alan he sounds like a favourite uncle .....sorry I am 70 ....but he has a very comfortable and confident voice

Alans videos are pure quality, Drennan you really do need a series with alan on rigs and prep, it would be a quality watch!

Very clear narrative, Alan. And I love your rig room!

I agree with you tom it would help us match anglers out a lot!

Very useful info Alan thanks.

the legend at work

Master Craftsman at work! Hence 5 time world champ. And a Barnsley lad to boot!! what could be better?

Don't put shot on ur hooklength mate 👍👍 Is that wat u meant

What shots are those?

Great stuff and easy to follow but when I get to the bank and tie my hook length on and bait up they are always too heavy shotted! Yes, I know I should simply put one less shot on but corn weighs more than maggot which weighs less than meat which weighs less that worm....cant you invent a magic float that just works with everything regardless of how many shots go on it :)

Nice video, could you perhaps give some advice on using shot smaller than size 8? I've tried using small pliers, teeth, fingers but really struggle with them.

Try using stotz as they're profile makes them much easier to handle than round shot and they don't seem to damage light lines as much. I've just made up a hefty slider rig and easily put some size 8's onto 0.20 mm (6lbs) Maxima Chameleon

One problem most get wrong when shotting up is the actual shot. It is a problem for the majority of anglers picking the shot to buy (softer the better) and no mention here of the shot used! When bloodworm or punch fishing I would always utilise round shot as this gives a positive indication although stots are better for on the drop work in general. Such a shame the shot brand are not mentioned here although I would suggest " Ballabini" kzread.info/dash/bejne/rGWqsMpppNe3qag.html

2 BB it is then! 😂

Isn't using bits of fine gauge float rubber any good to prevent shot damaging lines?

Can't find any of the British type gear here in the US.....;)

You can get Anchor split shot at Bass Pro, in the fly shop. Great quality. The floats you can get at: Livebaitfishingtackle.com MtmTackle.com WackerBaits.com And probably a few others. The Thill Light Bite floats are decent.
