I do my bags like that Jay and have never had a problem with stress on the bag but in saying that I rarely cast over 50/60 yards so giving it the big one may cause problems ....
Do any of you put crumb/groundbait in the 1st half inch of the bag,then top up with micro pellet ?
I've done it like this for a few years now and like the fact that the hook point is going into a soft area...... And white crumb stands out very visually on darker bottoms...... Proberbly doesn't make much difference but it gives me confidence and that's half the job in fishing
