This is more my no bivvy style

So you don't use your own fishnet tights then , Nick ? . 😁

Try that with a pop-up 😉 You want the hook sat on the kicker with the pop-up sitting nicely tight to the hookshank, so the hookbait lifts everything up vertical.

Meh still a bit rubbish but isolating in the garage for now tidying my tackle box up 😂

Talk nicely to girlfriends...

Pinch a pair of tights, put a few in there to normal size, cut that section free, tie and heat seal, then tie to hook.

I must admit I am not a fan of backleads, to me the only place to use them is to keep lines away from boats. I have used them in the past to keep lines down in tight swims, but noticed indication was much reduced. Captive backleads are probably the best way to not lose them as long as they do drop off on the take or as you lift the rod up. I used to add and screw in Solar Indicator clips to a slightly drilled out 1oz inline lead, and a small closed steel screw eye then along came Gardner Captive backleads, which solved my problems with boaties.

Another from the river Lot.......

Almost a sunset

Looking through pictures, found this one from June when on a flathead catfish sesh.
