1b) Mackerel Sets
- Fairwater Range
Fairwater Fishing started off
supplying Heavy Monofilament Mackerel Sets to local fishing boats
which were using hydraulic gurdies and fish stripping equipment.
As the gear has proves so successful and popular, we now supply
commercial fishermen all over the UK and Ireland.
|
|
|
| |

|
All our gear is hand made
by skilled tiers here at Fairwater Fishing using quality, time tested
methods and materials, ensuring a neat finish which catches well, and
stands up to the extreme stresses and strains associated with
commercial handlining or jigging.
We use VMC Hooks and
Triplefish which are both long running trusted Companies supplying
time proven high quality products.
We try to hold as much
stock as possible.
However due to large number of possible variations,
and the high demand for these products, much of the time sets are tied
to order so please allow us a few days to complete before despatching
to you.
Each "set"
consists of a single length of heavy monofilament line up to about 10
metres long, known as the "mainline", with knots tied in it at
specific intervals into which lighter "hook lengths" or "snoods" are
tied.
Each set we supply is
individually packed, and clearly labelled, for easy identification
with the following information :- |
|
|
| |
Number
of hooks,
Hook size,
Hook make and pattern,
Strength of hook length & mainline monofilament,
Spread or gap between the hooks,
Customers name. |
|
|
| |
Each set is tied with an
odd coloured bottom hook, so the user can quickly work out which way
up to set the line up.
|
 |
|
We create and supply
mackerel gear in two min strains for different applications.
|
|
60lb hook snoods

|
For handlines or
hand-wind gurdies.
|
80lb hook snoods
on 100lb line
|

1c) Mackerel Sets
- Standard Fry |
| |
|
|
|
| We use this
style of Mackerel hooks aboard our own boat and find them to be
very effective.
The Fairwater Standard
Fry are all made here by us using Triplefish monofilament and
size 10 VMC hooks.
Each hook is tied using
Mylar pipe, Metallic Flat Braid and PVC tube.
These hooks imitate a
small sand eel or fry; we have had some fine catches of Bass and
Pollack using these hooks.
These sets are suitable
for ‘hand-shaking’ or a hand wind gurdy and stripper set up. For
use with the BJ5000 we are able to supply sets with a 92lb
mainline instead of 81lb. Please specify when ordering.

1d) Mackerel Sets
- Small Fry |
We have been trailing the use of light line and small hooks for
summer Mackerel fishing in an effort to increase catches.
With the assistance of other local fishermen we have proven that
small hooks and light line will significantly improve catches
when the water is clear and the conditions settled.
These sets are mostly used
by fishermen who are manually shaking fish from the hooks,
however, you can easily wind the sets through a stripper as long
as great care is taken.
The small hooks are a
favourite for Bass fishermen fishing for small live baits,
however they are also very effective at catching larger Mackerel
and any other predatory fish that feeds on tiny fish.

2) Monofilament
Longline
Monofilament longlines are
proving to be very popular with small boat fishermen targeting
Pollack and Bass inshore.
It is relatively cheap to set up, and the cost of the whole line is
covered by the first few fish caught.
The lines can be worked on a
small scale without machinery or modifications required to the vessel.
These are very versatile as they
can be fished along the seabed, floating at or near the surface; or
anywhere in between for just about any species.
Hook snoods are attached to
swivels held in position on the mainline with beads and crimps, to give
a strong, neat and cost effective finish.
Anti-chaff tube is used wherever
possible to prevent wear on the mainline.
More and more fishermen are now
using these longlines with artificial baits.
|
|
 |
This removes the hassle associated
with first catching then storing any quantity of mackerel ( or similar
fish) on board.
This method requires the line to be anchored, as it relies on tidal
movement to make the lures "swim".
A selection of lures being used successfully in this way is available
on the "Lures" page. |
We also supply all the component parts loose for self assembly.
Our monofilament longlines are now
assembled with best quality all stainless steel swivels.
Each line is made from good quality 1.8mm (350 lbs) monofilament.
It is made up of five sections (20m approx), each with five hook
attachment points ( approx 4m apart), making a complete mainline that
is approx 100 m.
The monofilament longline is supplied alone. Hook length monofilament,
hooks, and/or artificial baits will have to be bought separately.
All are available on this site.

3a) Gummimakk Lures for Pollack - Single
Rigged
|
|
|
| |
Jigging and trolling for Pollack is becoming increasingly popular
with commercial fishermen,
and there are many fishermen already earning an excellent
wage line-fishing
for Pollack.
Fairwater Fishing supplies a range of
"Ready
to
Fish"
Pollack lures,
suitable for handlining, gurdies, jigging machines, and trolling
with dive boards. |
 |
|
|
| |
 |
This is
our modern take on the traditional favorite Norwegian lure.
The usual barrel swivel is replaced with a better quality crane
swivel, and we use food grade ‘new generation’
silicone tube which is made especially for us here in the UK.
As well as being tough and tear resistant, it is memory free and
it is is softer and more supple than PVC.
Each lure is supplied ready rigged onto a section of monofilament
trace, with a joining swivel of the appropriate size.
Simply join together as many sections as required to make up the
length of trace with the number of lures you want to fish.
Stop-knotted joining ends allow very quick and easy joining knots
to be tied without the worry of knots slipping.
Actual
lure spread on set when fishing is approx 1 metre. |

3b) Gummimakk Lures for Pollack
- Rigged Sets |
|
As well as the Single
Rigged Gummimakk we are now supplying the very effective
Fairwater Gummimakk in complete sets ready to fish.
Each of these sets has 4
Fairwater Gummimakk Lures of the same size spread 75cm apart
and a swivel in the middle to reduce line twist.
These sets are
suitable for vertical jigging with BJ5000 or hand line as
well as for trolling with Yo-Zuri diveboards.
Each set is symmetrical and so they can be fished either way
up and can easily be joined together to make longer sets of
hooks as required.
Assorted Red, Fluro
Orange and Black unless requested.
These sets are well
constructed with quality materials and will prove very
effective at catching Pollack.
