Today, I'm going to show you guys how to tie a pier fishing rig
with the materials you probably already have in your house
stay tuned for more.
[glitchy glitch intro]
Alright, so before I teach you guys how to tie this rig, I want to show you guys
one of my favorite rings that I don't tie-- I know how to tie, but I don't because, I mean they're $2 $3 apiece
for Sabiki rigs.
These things are awesome,
and a lot of people just use them for bait fishing
but I've caught many, many different species of fish
off of Sabikis, and you can see that there's--
there's a lot of different brands out there,
some are very cheap, some are very expensive.
I have found that
there's not really that much of a difference between the cheap ones and the expensive ones.
The Sabiki is perfect for the pier,
I'm serious, it really is because
there's so many little bait fish and smaller fish that hang around the pilings and the pillars of the pier,
this is really meant to just drop straight down
and for those of you who don't know what a Sabiki rig is,
I'm going to show you right now.
Ready?
This is what I like about the Sabiki rig, it usually comes out
in one pull.
See?
Look at that.
I love it.
Six hooks.
You need to be careful
uh, where you use the Sabiki rig because I know it's illegal in some places,
in which case, I'd just cut it in half
because six hooks is a lot to manage,
I cut it in half and then I put a sinker, I tie a sinker to this
and then I have two Sabiki rigs.
So really, when I buy a pack of Sabiki rigs, I buy two.
Two rigs.
I can just pull it right out and drop it straight down and I know I can get my bait fish really quick.
What I do with the bait fish is: I keep the bait fish and I put it on a bigger hook
and then cast that out.
Now, I'm going to show you that rig next.
So we're going to show you guys how to tie a
but here are the things you need first.
All you're going to need is a swivel clip (which is optional,)
a sinker,
and basically whatever hook size you want,
depending on what size fish you're targeting,
uh, these are the size that I would typically use, size two,
but, or demonstration purposes today,
we're going to be using these big ones so that you can see it,
and they're a little bit rusted...
Oh, yeah, you're going to need Fluorocarbon Line,
I personally use 15 - 20 lb., but it all depends on the kinds of fish that you're targeting.
Alright, so we're going to tie a dropper loop first, which
um,
I haven't perfected yet.
I'm still practicing, but it's a very satisfying knot to tie,
this knot will hold very well.
So let me show you how I tie it:
First,
make a loop like that, okay?
See how there's two lines at the top here?
and one on the bottom?
These two lines at the top, you're going to want to bring them over each other like this about five to six times...
Okay, now you want to keep a loop in the middle right here
because in this loop, you're going to pull
this bottom one through.
Okay?
and then you're going to hold this with your teeth
and as you hold it with your teeth, you start-- you start to pull these two together.
Okay?
There you go,
and that's the dropper loop right here.
Look at that.
It's a beautiful knot.
It looks great on this-- on this, uh, braid right here.
Okay, that's the first loop.
Now we're going to do one more, about one to two hands distances away.
You see how there's uh-- there's two lines at the top right here, and one at the bottom?
Mhmm.
I achieved that by
just making a half circle,
okay?
Now what you want to do is have your fingers like this
so that you can twist this around.
I want to make sure everyone can really clearly see this
Because this was-- this is my problem when I was learning
is I couldn't clearly see how people were doing it...
and now, you see this loop in the middle?
You're going to want to pull this
through
See that?
Hold this part with your teeth now...
and as you hold with your teeth, pull these two apart.
Nice, look at that second loop.
Now tying to swivel on the bottom, and this will be for the sinker.
So after you tie your two loops on,
you tie your swivel on,
that will be for your sinker,
so the rig is starting to come together.
Now, after we put the sinker on we're going to put the hooks on.
Now, there's several different ways that I like to do this,
there's one way where we leave the loop like this and
thread the hook through,
push this loop through the hook eye,
bring the loop around the hook and pull.
See that? Really simple.
Really simple, it doesn't get simpler than that.
My only concern with this double right here. Is that it's double the chance the fish will see it
It's not a stealthy approach. If you wanted to make this line thinner and not have two loops
I'm not sure if this is a good solution, but it works for me, and I've never had anything
Significant that I can remember break me off.
What I do is I cut
the loop
Like that and now it has a longer line
Where you can tie a snell knot, you can try whatever kind of knot you want
and it's more stealthy and more discreet
and
There you go, so there's two ways to tie that
one where you can just really simply slide it off or to you cut the loop at the butt end and
then you just tie on the hook the
Normal way or the way you would normally do.
I want to show you, these are the same rigs my dad has tied except
This is a much smaller scale
Now this might be hard for you guys to see so Erin
I really want you to get up close to this so everyone can see this
This is the same rig that we just tied except on a much smaller scale. This is probably five pound test
And these are tiny tiny Chinese hooks right here
So we will primarily use this
Like a sabiki except it doesn't have flies.
It's essentially. It's basically a sabiki with just two with just two hooks
We would tip these with little tiny pieces of bait like little chunks of squid, little tiny bits of shrimp.
Blood worms, and you know this is how you do it.
So are these tutorials helpful to you guys?
We've just kind of started doing these kind of tutorials
and
We're not sure if you guys even like it so comment below if it helps you
Thank you guys for watching and see you next week
Alright, so before I?
*Fart
So before I tellll...
*sigh
Okay, yep today. I show you guys how tie a rig
A special Rig that has hooks..of... there's two and
*Erin " We are never going to get this done..."
And dere's sinkerss on on on end of lines. De oddarr end
It's just diss.
Okay, it's not easy talking to a camera. It's really weird. Show everyone what I am looking at right now..
Just show everyone what I am looking at.
Come over here and give them my perspective...
Yeah...
Could you guys stare into a camera with lights blazing in your face and
remember something to saying like
I come to a complete blank sometimes. What you guys see on the episodes is is like
like
It camera magic...yeah
Probably an hour of footage.
Okay, thank you
