Barbel Hooklinks Explained - How To Tie Them - River Season Prep. (Video 239)

A step-by-step guide on how I tie my hooklinks for barbel fishing, detailing which components I use and why. I have been using these hooklinks for quite a while now and they work fantastically well for me so I thought I'd show you exactly how I tie them and why they work. Maybe they will even help you land you a few more barbel.

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the film.

This channel is my angling video diary with every single session being filmed. Some sessions are successful but, as it's fishing, some are less so. You will see everything as it happened on the day, be it good or bad.

A huge thanks goes to John Cain, Richard Bawcombe, Nick S and Dennis Blackman for their generous support of Avon Angling UK through Patreon. Many thanks.

As you will notice the comments are closed on all my videos. I have done this as (I know from past experience) I do not have time to reply to them all and I feel very ignorant not doing so. I don't want you to waste your time writing comments that I will not have chance to read. Having said that, if you would like to get in touch on any specific issue, you can do so through my instagram account or facebook page. The links are on the channel page.

Many thanks and tight lines,

Nic

Components:-
- Korda N-Trap Soft (15lb)
- Korda Kamo (15lb)
Alternatively I also use Gardner Target Speciskin (10lb), depending on what breaking strain main line I'm using (to keep the hooklink breaking strain lower than that of the main line for fish safety and in order to reduce tackle loss from snagged gear).
- Korda IQ2 Fluorocarbon
- Korda D-Rig Kickers
- Korda Kurv Shank Hooks
- Korda Kickers
- Taska 18mm Flexi Threaded Oval Bait Rings (discontinued)
Alternatively I'm starting to use:-
