The most CONTROVERSIAL method in MATCH FISHING! 😱👀 | The ultimate guide to overshotted rigs

An often hush hush subject in match fishing is overshotted rigs! If allowed, these are some of the most effective rigs for catching F1's that you can possibly use! Here's Kieran Marsden to show you the ultimate guide to overshotted rigs and how to use them properly.

I am very old school and would never fish like this but this lad is so good at explaining things I would always watch anything he did. As an example he explain about not just going out shallow but plumbing up first to find the deepest part off the swim. A good angler will tell you everything and still give a lesson off the next peg, this lad is for sure a very very good angler. Thanks for the video.

good to see you showing and explaining your rigs Kieran, my go to fishing would be for carp and f1s especially after watching you fish as you did, look forward to your live match at Weston

[Andyfishing]

It is a controversial rig and tbh, I get quite bored of it when pleasure fishing and like to fish different methods but like you said Kieran, when you’re in a match you’ve got have it in your armoury because it’s just unbeatable with the speed you can get them in at. I feel that you explain things in a simple and honest manner. Cheers 👍

Class tutorial Kieran thanks for this educational overview. Converted to commercial fishing about 15 years ago getting to improve my skills with videos like this love learning to improve my F1 fishing

[peterthornton]

Good video Kieran. here in the South East we dont have many F1 prolific waters but I have tried your method on venue's with a mixture of both F1's and Carp with reasonable results. I have got the Vespe measuring tape on all my top kits and find very usefull. Thanks for info and by the way my preferred method is Carp/F1s on the Pole. I did enjoy fishing Western Pools Jacks Lake. Cheers

[karlrichards]

Wow - I don’t fish commercials and this was fascinating to watch. Commercial match fishing is a whole different beast to anything I do so these videos are really an eye opener. Many thanks.

Can’t beat a day on rod and line if you want a relaxing day

Haven't dished in a while and this was first video j chose to get back into it. Not sure why I've only ever had the 1 match but just wanted to say enjoyed the video thank you very much 😊 🙏

[williamyates]

Great video again pal, your a pleasure to watch 👌👌👌

Don't agree with the way a lot of fishing has gone, same for game or coarse. Stockies and competitions have bred a culture of more and bigger at any cost to the heritage of fishing and the environment. Too many people saying 'anything goes if you enjoy it' which is clearly illogical and a recipe for disrespect to the sport and ecosystem. Sponsors, companies and bait manufacturers obviously keen to encourage this culture, with their vested interests, ending up as a race to the bottom for standards and derision for anyone who questions it, 'ah you're a purist blah blah'. Yep I'm a purist and proud. I'll stick to fishing for our native wild fish with deliberately self-limiting rules, codes of conduct, limited impact and respect for the environment. I will enjoy good days and blank days equally and take nature as it comes.

Informative video, I enjoy catching silvers on canal but when match fishing prefer F1s shalla 😊

[colindickenson]

Great video kieron explaining everything on how you approach this tactic the over shotted rig 👍 its something i need to do in my pole fishing im really looking forward to giving it a go soon im fishing Lindholm myself in September a 4 day festival unfortunately in our rules for the the festival they is no caster shalla fishing allowed so im going to have to use pellets instead or would maggots be better on there I don't know ive never fished Lindholm so wouldn't know what would be the better option what's your view on this & would you still feed the same amount of loose feed like you do when feeding caster?

Used to fish a commercial , and it was heavy fished , ,every week 40 folk fished matches and the bites were lightning fast, ,then it started whip fishing and striking every few seconds , hit maybe 1 in 6 or so then they wised up again then it was a pike bung under pole so they hooked themselves on the tension of the bung, all u could here around the lake was the bung rattle with the weights, they called it the rattle rig 😮, but it wasn't for me

[ratatat]

Hi Keiron. When you said, the deeper the rig is, the more weight you put on - are you putting a heavier float on too, the deeper you go?

[GeorgeProut]

Great video. When fishing the overshotted rig how much line do you have between pole tip and float? In answer to your question I prefer silver fish fishing.

[andymcglone]

Hi Kieran what make and model is your seat box please as i am a lefty.

[davidshipman]

I enjoy my carp comp on the lakes, would be great to see you at Float fish farm nr Peterborough none of the comps . The Tuesday matches are great and fished on Wagtail n 2 islands both good lakes

[santsfan]

Mega angler kerion is thanks for putting us right in St Helens tackle with hard pellet rigs mate and deffo bream fishing is my favourite thing on big natural venues but the odd match f1 fishing pulls me back from time to time

[alanmarriott]

Can I ask your advice please or anyone. Whenever I fish mainly maggots I only ever get small fish. How do you get through the small fish to the bigger ones please? Thanks

[freddavis]

all methods are great when you get them right repeating the process after honing the skills practice makes perfect when catching fish
