Gemini Pulley Dropper Rig - tutorial/discussion

The most popular request for a rig making video on the channel has been the Pulley Dropper or the Drop Down Pulley.

I haven’t fished with this rig before but it’s popularity sparked my curiosity and so into the workshop. After researching, looking and reading at many others online I have now made my initial version and will now use it for a period of time before making any changes.

As with all of my rig making videos I am open to positive comments, ideas and views which when consolidated should develop the rig.

Great video again Mark! It's my go to rig as of late, trying to use them and abuse them to see any faults that I could improve on. Comprehensive video! Thanks fella! Keep up the videos.

Great tutorial Mark. Look forward to seeing how you get on with it in one of your upcoming videos. Good luck with it mate.👍

@stevenewell6898 5 years ago

Brilliant video mate... I was one of those that ask to see this and I'm really pleased with how youve done it and it has explained it perfectly..... I'm gonna give it a try next time I go out and see how it goes.... Cheers 👍

Another great tutorial. Interested to hear your review of the Trident tackle rigs (Termalink, Aero pully and roto bait clip) you made.

@ianturner3033 5 years ago

Another well explained and detailed video Mark.
Not sure it's one I would use, mainly because of poorer bite detection.
Stay safe.

Hi Mark...this is my main go to rig and works very well. I prefer a termalink to clip on to the Gemini pulley bead. With other links you occasionally get the snood wrapped into the link. I use either a splashdown or roto clip on mine and don't tend to have any issues with either. Think you will find it is a very effective rig. 😁👍🎣

Nice video Mark, enjoyed that one. But don't forget its snakes that 'slither' - we cut slivers of bait - good old Hightown education...haha

@stevephillips3847 5 years ago

Another great video, keep them coming. Hope you are going to film a session of this rig in action.

@eiburnoj 5 years ago

brilliant video Mark, easy to understand. can you tell me if you have a video using the Trident ''drop down pulley rig'' components? John

@graylingboysalisbury 5 years ago

Up and over for me. Less components. KIS. Great vid.

@paulriches2507 5 years ago

Hi Mark, I use this rig with a solo for 99% of my fishing., longest I make mine are 2'6" I find any longer sometimes tangles. Great demo as always buddy🎣👍

@andycollings4302 5 years ago

Nicely presented video as always. One thing to think on, if you cast up tide and let some line out to allow the wires to work, I think the snood would slide towards the pulley bead in the tide but still be close the bottom. Its still a nice rig and I would still use it.

@alanbrooking7081 5 years ago

Hi Mark another good vid.could you just use the captive end and just have different snoods ie single and penal made up

@dannysshorefishing2923 5 years ago

I like and use this rig, prefer the up and over for the extra snood length. Straight Pulley on night fishing for easy of use mainly. Well presented as always Mark, all the best 🎣👍

@alanharmsworth7638 4 years ago

Hi Mark. I should have watched this vid before commenting on some of the others. This one gets over the problem (which I see!) of having a very long trace before the fish feels the resistance of the weight. With Gamakatsu circle hooks and a much shorter trace it should work a treat. One of the problems with a long trace is that the fish can pick up the bait, taste it, and spit it out if it doesn't like it. Result is you lose the bait or blame it on small fish stealing the bait when it may be the fish of a lifetime.

Great video And as said by others keep them coming. It’s given me an idea of using a pulley rig
For uptiding from the boat . I normally just hang the hook on the grip weight wires but it does not always release . I thinking that it would be better to have a more stream line rig set up that will release every time.
