0:00 [Music] hey [Music] hey what's going on everyone today we're going to be talking about three different ways to tie the same rig beginner intermediate and expert ways of time and it's going to be really really fun because i'm going to show you step by step exactly how i do it and you'll be able to fit in whichever one your expertise level is so if you're a beginner i've got a rig for you if you're an expert i've got a rig for you so let's get to it so basically what we're talking about here is a high low rig this is a very common rig that you see in all sorts of fishing it's basically a weight at the bottom hook in the middle and another hook at the top and here's the top of the rig this is a really great way of catching two fish at one time that's a really
0:46 great way of just finding fish in general some ways are way quicker to tie other ways to take a little bit longer but have a lot of benefit so let's get started first off level one this is for beginners so i'm going to show you guys how to tie these rigs up using these barrel swivels these snap swivels some of our hay skipper custom colored floats and we're gonna use these smaller owner hooks here and um i'm using this high visibility line here so that you guys can see what i'm tying but i don't typically tie with this on my my real rigs this is more of like a my main line so i can see where my line is in the water let's start at the bottom we're going to attach
1:32 and this is going to go for all three i'm only going to do this once so that you guys can see what i'm talking about we're gonna tie it this swivel this can hold my sink and it can you can adjust what sinker size you put on there because it opens and closes so you can change out your sinker sizes really helpful little piece of terminal tackle here this is a really special knot that i've learned it's a really simple one so the first part of this knot is we're going to tie just a simple overhand knot right here like this all right tie that down now we're going to put this through you want the knot to come through and then you're going to tie another knot
2:18 see that now pull this knot this first knot should be stopped by the second knot and that's a really quick way of tying a sinker knot on okay so that's the first knot now we're going to tie our actual rig up now this knot right here is exactly what makes it a beginner rig because we're going to tie a very simple overhand knot like this and you want to make sure that your rig line is long enough so that you can add a hook and possibly a float onto it if you want to add a float you don't want it too short one two see how i did that so i bent it over once
3:05 bend it over one more time and i twist one two then i pull this through okay now we slowly pull and tighten this knot sometimes it helps to put a little bit of saliva to wet it and it'll slide into place real easy see that so that's the first so now we're going to do one more loop [Music] see that so that's two loops now i want the same distance one more time
3:52 but this time we're going to tie on the barrel swivel now these swivels help your feet and your hooks to be able to spin around without getting everything tangled up so i'm going to put a improved clinch knot on here which looks like this put your finger down twist twist twist twist about five times now this tag end goes in through this first loop right then you're going to bring it through that new loop you just made and tighten it down i put a little bit of saliva on it and there we go
4:37 then i clip all the tag ends off just like that okay so this was level one right here because this knot right here is really simple it's a simple overhand knot right next we're gonna put on some of these floats and i love these orange and yellow ones but i also love these these neon pink ones work really well too i've also got these glow-in-the-dark ones so maybe i'll do one glow-in-the-dark and one yellow orange but the yellow orange works so well because it looks like a sand flea it looks like the eggs of a sand flea it looks kind of like a cosina shell too lots of fish eat things that look like this color we're going to put it in like this fold this over
5:26 and then we're gonna push it through see that now we have a float on it the way we attach the hooks just put it through it like this and pull like that and this is the first beginner style ring right here with this overhand knot high low there we go and let's try one more let's put one more through this top one i'm gonna do uh let's do this this glow-in-the-dark color this one's glow in the dark though so in low light settings this is great and there we have
6:13 it this is level one beginner beginner style rig right here high low rig and then you wrap it up like this and you put it away in a bag say say you have an empty bag like this you put it in here with level two it's exactly the same thing as level one you'll have the same bottom mechanism right here with the snap swivel on the bottom a loop so we'll have we'll have the snap swivel we'll have hook number one hook number two and then a barrel swivel again the big difference
6:58 here is the knot that we use to tie the actual hook on right here so the difference between level one level two is going to be this knot right here let me show you how to tie that knot real quick rig number two intermediate style we're actually going to do a dropper loop and the dropper loop it just sits more clean and you'll see exactly what i mean as soon as i tie it so now watch my fingers okay we're going to make a circle like this right this circle is going to be the actual loop itself so you want to make this length the length that you actually want that arm to be i like it a little bit longer like this once you cross it over like that you'll see two lines like this right you'll see two how they cross like this you see this
7:45 might take you a second you might need to pause the video and just like look at my hands real quick but make a circle and make them have two train tracks like this next you're gonna put your fingers in a position where you can start wrapping this is going to be different for everyone but this is my finger position i like to hold the train track like this and then hold them with these two fingers then i'm going to take my two fingers here and just twist one two three four five okay now we're going to pull this middle line
8:30 through this but you don't want this you don't want to lose the wraps on this so make sure everything is held tight i'm going to use my mouth and put my mouth on this right here pull this up and these two sides out at the same time okay [Music] wow
9:24 and an overhand knot look at that difference this line goes straight across and this this loop comes out very like naturally this one it looks a little janky you know it doesn't it doesn't sit exactly like straight look at how straight this sits naturally look at how bent this is like it looks kind of unnatural and you know it's it's beginners it doesn't really matter but when you get better and better at tying knots you want it to look prettier and it's not necessarily because the fish won't bite it otherwise but it's you want it to look nice right so that's level two and that is actually level two is how we tie the catch-all
10:09 rigs right here these are the custom catch-all rigs that we have with the custom um colored floats here that attract a lot of different kinds of fish this is tied with 20 pound instead of 40 so it's just it's a really awesome rig that you can catch a lot of kinds of fish on it okay so that was level two right here so same thing as the first one level two you can add i'm going to add one of these very hot pink colored because this attracts the attention of fish this color right here it makes fish look twice them turn their head make them do a double take and a better way to secure this is when you push it through give this a couple twists
10:55 one two and then put it through the hole and that's that's level two right there okay let's get to level three level three is really really one of my favorite knots to tie but it's also a pretty challenging one and it combines the knowledge of how to tie a dropper loop with a new kind of knot at the same time and you'll see exactly what i mean first remember that overhand knot i showed you we're gonna tie the overhand knot first right except instead this time instead of doing two wraps we're gonna do something like one two three four five five wraps
11:43 then we're gonna slowly tighten it you see this how it's kind of tangled down here straighten that out you don't want that there it untangled now now before you pull lubricating with a little bit of spin now hold slowly and evenly if you see these loops right here if you see some of one one side going down further than the other you can control how much line goes down by each of these you want to pull these evenly see that look at that there you go okay
12:29 that's the first part the next part now we're going to do a dropper loop now it combines a dropper loop and an overhand knot so this dropper remember we're gonna make a circle and two train tracks just like this now with this dropper loop we're gonna we're gonna do this bad boy like 15 times five six seven eight nine ten 11 12 13 14 15.
13:14 now we're gonna put this tag end through this little hole that we have left right here you see this it's kind of hard to show but if you get it you get it now we pulled it through now you want to pull this knot that you created with the with that overhand knot pull this loop through that knot right now use your teeth hold that see this down here straighten that out see this pull it out see i pulled it out now might need a lubricant
14:04 slowly tighten and you see if it gets tangled like this you see this pull it back out like that pull it back out look at that hell yeah i mean heck yeah i mean he doubles hockey sticks yeah look at that this is so sick because now there's no way that this line will ever get tangled with this line this arm will hold it outwards from the rig itself and it's called a t knot because look at
14:50 that knot what letter does that spell exactly what does this spell time to learn the tnot next i want to put one of these orange floaties on there we go now let's put the hook on i find it doesn't really matter which direction you put it in but some people say one direction is way better than the other i don't find too much of a difference if a fish bites and runs with it you got the fish pretty much some people like it curved in a little bit more some people like it the other way i think i like it curved in like this
15:36 but that is the t-nut right there this is the dropper loop itself right here you can see the difference i mean that's why this is expert and this is intermediate you see the difference so with all these different kinds of rigs they're all essentially for the same purpose is to catch two fish at one time you don't really need to learn the expert expert one but if you are getting better and better at tying knots why not learn how to tie this awesome knot it also it serves a function too where it it won't get itself tangled on itself because this arm right here this long t part keeps it from tangling itself it does actually help more um but you don't need to i want to encourage anyone who thinks that they can to actually try it give it
16:23 a try tag me on instagram tag me on facebook and i want to see how you guys have done i'd love to see your progress and people over the years have really been showing a lot of improvement and that's really one of the main reasons i love teaching you guys because i love seeing you guys grow i love seeing people out there on the field that i recognize like oh i know that not like i i prom like if you're tying that t-not i'm pretty sure you saw how to do it for my dad or me at some point it's just a really nice experience to share with each other for baits in your area whatever is good in your area but what i like to use is my clammy bits right here these clammy bits last for freaking ever on the hook and you can see through the bag look at the color of that clammy but it's like it's like red and smells delicious
17:09 it goes really well with these rigs right here um they also have like an all-in-one bait box right here our brand new neon shrimpy bits would probably work really well on this i mean look at these we've got orange neon shrimpy bits and the neon hot pink ones and it fits so perfectly on like a one odd hook look at this it's nice and tough oh my goodness i can't wait to go fishing again look at that look at that this is going to catch you some fish for sure you know if you want to get out to the beach you want to get out to your spot and start catching fish i recommend you get you know like a few packs of these are all you can our catch-all rigs get yourself a box a bait
17:56 box with an assortment of our salted baits some sinkers get yourself a rod and reel and you're you're down for a good day right there it's just such a great time to go fishing with yourself or family members or you know kids friends such a great thing to do outside in the nature besides just like you know walking around a park or like taking a leisurely kayak ride without fishing rods some people do that you know that some people do that they just go on a kayak and just paddle around really nice fishing spots without a rod without any lures without any kind of bait they just go and just paddle for fun i've never heard i've never thought of doing that myself but if you like to do that comment below why don't you bring it right bro come on actually this is
18:41 why we kind of created all of our products all of our just our channel in general because we want to make it easy for you to learn how to like get on your kayak and catch some fish like if you're gonna be out by the water why not learn how to catch some fish that you can eat it's really fun so if you know anyone who isn't into fishing yet and who really wants to get into fishing show them our channel because we want to make it easy for them to learn so you'll have a new fishing buddy okay so that was that was a great episode i think i got to show you uh a beginner way of tying an intermediate way of tying and a kind of expert way of tying things all of them work great in fact our rigs right here are the intermediate version do you want to learn to tie that expert version i tr i have a extensive ebook that i've written i've
