UP and OVER rig tutorial/discussion pt1

In this video I will show you my current version of an "up & over" rig. I say current because it is always changing and I am open to suggestions for improvement or where I am making mistakes. Everyone likes to have their own adjustments and I like to experiment to find what suits my fishing.
I am interested to hear what changes you make to your version and the differences in how you make and use it...
Please use the comments section to discuss variations and ways you have found to improve your rigs.

Using the pulley bead also puts less strain on the rig body compared to a really fine swivel digging into the line! Also to make everything a bit more stream line use small 4mil beads instead of the big bulky 8mils!!

Years ago I used to read all the sea anglers put all sorts on my lines. Then one day I just got rid of it all and went back to as basic and as simple as possible and I never looked back.

Hello Mark. Glad you cleared up the name of the knot that I use in virtually all of my videos. Used the knot for as long as I can remember but never knew the name hahah. When you mentioned if I do the rigs professionally well the answer to that is NO. For me mate when I get A length of mono tie it onto a clip that I've either made or bought, build the rig, source some good quality bait. slap the whole thing together and belt it out into the murky depths and then you catch on it...THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT FOR ME MATE....Great video mate, you come across very well. Keep up the good work....TIGHT LINES. COD ALL OWA...

What's not to like? Clear, informative and great presentation. Down here is Sunny Queensland I've never seen these rigs used mainly because all you can buy is clunky Asian stuff. I buy all my rig building stuff from Veales and I find they are very very good with great rig building stuff. Can't wait to try this one out.

Mark I have to say your explanation of why you do thing's and the thinking behind those reasons is quality mate I also like the fact you give credit where its due long may it continue

I love the detachable snood idea which is something I practice myself however I always use the clip on the snood to a swivel on the rig body and the top of my rigs with a swivel on the end of my leader, if a friend comes with me and needs to borrow one of my rigs I always carry a few fast links with me and lend him one of those too. I always use my own rigs so compatabillity is not a problem for me. The trident pully clip is a breath of fresh air to me.

Very informative and well presented.Love the tip about the hook direction, never even thought of that before. Must admit I prefer the pre-baited rig as opposed to changing the snoods, mainly as it saves a bit of time.

Nice one mate.. My go to rig for bigger fish... I add a carp anti tangle sleeve on the snood to the swivel and the bottom by lead... I make it the same as this but I make sure the swivel is tight to the lead so your not casting of the snood line when stretch.. Also a 3ft body will give you a 6ft snood 4ft body 8ft snood as its double the body going up then back down... Plus the body itself so if you fishing a 3ft body 6ft snood your actually fishing a 9ft rig... I Call this rig a running up and over as the lead runs free on body line... Normal up and overs have a fixed lead and the snood crimped just above the lead.. Well that's my thoughts lol. Well done mate

I never thought of that for pennel hook cheers Mark

[LE-mxyv]

Great Video, never thought of going through the top eye of the hook for the pennel will give this a try the weekend

[stevenbeckett]

[williamsmith]

Nice one! Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Tight lines

[neillackenby]

Thanks for ALL your tips. This video is fab. I usually use use pulley rigs as we have lots of rock and kelp beds up here. However, we do have some clean ground so I am going to seek or out and give the up and over a go.
Brilliant channel - keep it going and you’ll be up there with TA and the fish locker - my other 2 favourites. 👍

Hi buddy. You know I'm no fisherman. But I just clocked your first 1k subscribers. Well done mate. Big up your subscribers and all your fans for some great comments.

Hi Mark, great video, i agree that knot is good, we call it Pauls knot[sandmans tackle time].Iwhat you do but i make different sizes, sure some time different lenghts make a diffrents

[johnsmith-rsvk]

Sorry, I think I got it wrong .Thought you were making a pulley rig . But I still use the proper pulley instead of the pulley bead .

[thesweetcornkid]

Excellent tutorial Mark, and very well explained. For the record I have been using a 3ft body and 5ft snood. I've found it releasing in thr air so shortened it to your 24/36 and its much more reliable now. Thanks. 😎👍🏻

[kristofrugi]
