  • ok. is their no anti-tangle sleeve you could use to prevent tangling? i'm not really sure how the beads would prevent the tangling that much because the beads run up and down the line. also when you do that loop you could use a korum quick change bead, which is strong, and makes it easier to change hooklengths and so on.

    nice rig though. always good to discuss rigs and improve fishing.

  • Since the feeder is heavier than the hooklink, it will usually push the beads to the knot attached to the swivel. This makes a natural spacer.

    The quick change bead is nothing but a combination of swivel and bead. Why do you need a quick change bead if you have a swivel? Just wondering.

    You could use an anti-tangle sleeve for sure, but it could get quite expensive when fishing over uneven ground. And it destroys the simplicity of the rig. IMHO.

  • ok, well to make it simple as possible, you could just use bead, feeder, quick change bead, which acts as your swivel and another bead in one. and that's your rig basically. the hooklengh as you know just gpes on the quick change bead, and you can't get any more simple than that IMO. what do you think?

  • Sounds good. But to be able to change the feeder, there ought to be a running bead. Btw, the quick change beads aren't sold here in Germany. ;) When did they come on the market in GB, if it prooves any good, it will surely be available over here soon. What exactly is the advantage? Just the combination of swivel and bead or is there something else?

  • heres what you do.

    first you can put on float stop this can act as a self hooking if you have it as a running feeder, then you put on a bead, which acts as running bead, swivel, on that swivel put on quick link, feeder, quick change bead. that's it. it sounds complicated, but it's not because the swivel, quick link, and feeder all attach on one swivel. if you don't want it as a running feeder, then take away the float stop, and use your rod tip as a self hooking.

  • I made another self hooking rig. The mainline (0,06 braid) is connected to a feedergum, about 25cm/ 10in. Then I tie a middle section of 0,22 mono,. about 30cm/12in to the gum and attach a self made mini-safety clip. Lead would be 1,3oz or a small open ender. Works fine, hooklink is between 12cm/5in and 20cm/8in. Bait is usually 3 maggots below a bit of paste, mostly red and yellow, fish/animal flavour.

    Greetz°!

  • Can someone help me with the correct way/tying method to attach a hook length to the main line (general course fishing) Currently 1.8 hook length to 3 lb main.Any help appreciated!

  • well to change the feeder easily you attach a quick link to the swivel, which you attach to the feeder, so all you have to do to change feeder is take it off the quick link, and then put on lead, or whatever without mucking around with the rig. this way it takes seconds to change feeder or weight.

  • Well, you could use less, but I had less to none tangle with more beads.

  • why do you use so many beads?
