YouTube Julian Cundiff multi rig........ I’ve used this set up for 3 years now and can honestly say I’ve never lost a fish on it. Really good video,mate. 😉

Whizzed over there tonight, the gate codes were set as I left them, so hopefully a few fish have had an undisturbed snack. Split half a kg into two halves... Air drying 1 half ready for a quick coating/glug about an hour before I go tomorrow must probably end up doing it on the bank... The other 1/4 kg went on the same spot as yesterday, so fingers crossed a few fish visit the spot sometime between now and when I go...….. The light wind had moved round and was pushing straight into where I'd baited. Great I thought, but then noticed a thin layer of algae in the margin. Bearing in mind that it had been pushed there on the breeze, there wasn't loads. But, that, combined with the dying weed will suggest low oxygen levels, bites might be hard to come by...… The flip side is, that not many have been over there by the looks of it, so that little bit of bait going in may draw a few fish , on the wind, into that area...……. Forgot me bloomin marker rod again, so will just plop a small lead in tomorrow to check the bottom before a rig is cast...…. Just looking for a chill out really. Live in a high street, right next door to a pub, so you can guess what the noise levels have been like with the footie...…. (the radio will be packed, tho')…. England winning and me nicking a fish, will be perfect... Fingers crossed for both...🙂

Not a pod user so can't help .... good to see you back posting snoozer 😎 Oh I do like my stainless though .... but I'm a jag man 🤘

Like the look of the corner of that weed bed in the bay BC.... two chances of fish passing over your bait . Had a few myself fushing just back from the corners 😉

My bivvy has a broken rib...…………... Ian

Its the weight of the Stainless IMO that makes it so much more stable plus its overall footprint. I have the Solar Globetrotter ,but i do really like the P1 and wouldnt hesitate to buy one if the Globetrotter went.

It's 2018! Go for titanium mate. All the performance without the weight!

I absolutely love my P1 pod, it is the danglies. For years I was happy with a pod I could use as goalpost buzzer bars with banksticks or pod, but now the P1 does everything. The knurled pieces, loosen and tighten on the leg angle allowing 180 degrees of movement, meaning you can get totally level in conjunction with P1 banksticks provided. You do have to purchase the additional buzzer bars, so it is not quite complete, but they are definitely worth the money. The bite alarms can be tightened down, then the positive lock means they face the correct way. You may find, if you abuse your gear like I do, the ends of the buzz bars can become wobbly, in the centre inside is an allen key locking pin that will just need tightening up. One thing I will say, it can be worth getting a longer pair of banksticks in case you need to extend and lift the front to get over weed, or the rear to dip tips as I found myself this week to get under boats and weed.

Trooper!

Thanks for the replys , I hadn't thought about the fish not taking in the bait properly. It was just frustrating to keep loosing them , will check out some of the hooks you suggest and tie up some more rigs with the bits I have been using and see how I feel about them ... thanks 👍

Cheers nick 😀

Yep same boat mate. I install furniture for a living so know how you feel. Just gonna go for it then. At worst I'll be slipping a few tramodol down my neck.😴

If it makes ya feel any better mate I did a night last night with three broken ribs and it’s the best nights sleep I’ve had since I did it maybe give ya bed a try and see how it feels

Went over the local lake to rake out a couple of swims to hopefully fish on Wednesday...…. To my surprise, the weed that was floor to surface only a few weeks back, is now gone... (well , prob' heaped up in various spots on the wind)……. This has somewhat [censored]ed me, as I thought I'd be able to just drop in on one of the close in spots again on Wednesday... I had no marker rod, or any rod with me, so decided to bait one of the margins with half kg of boilies leading up to a swim that I'd intended raking. Here I put another half kg and about a kg of ground bait that I'd soaked in Hydros. Thought I'd messed up the ground bait as it just looked like a ball of paste. I needn't of worried , as the little walnut sized clumps a threw in, gave off a lovely cloud which slowly sunk over the boilies... Gonna nip back tomorrow evening and run a lead through the spot and chuck 50 odd baits in, hopefully setting it up nicely for Wednesday night...… I doubt anyone will be over there with the football on.... There was no one over there tonight.....

No doubt mate ! Sorry to hear That Bigtrev .

It is basically a Multi rig, but with an extended hair to put multiple bottom baits on rather than a standard bottom bait. I use it a bit on Nazeing and had some good fish on it, usually with around 3 8mm wooden balls on the hair, or at times a 20mm bottom ball, a 15mm pop-up and a meshed bait. http://anglinglines.com/blog/how-to-the-kebab-rig/
