Your rig pic with a pop-up gives very similar properties to the Bent Hook rig, but with no mouth damage.
Difficult to eject, nice low lying pop-up, close to freebies.
Woke up this morning on my new target for the year to find the carp fairy had visited in the night, I found a deeper and a spod bobbing about in the marginsβ¦
the lad opposite had cast out both and snapped the braid! Both were returned to their rightful owner after his mate came round to collect them. π
Got to Park Lake at 5am this morning....set everything up and had to nip off to a footy game with little en at 9am, kick-off was at 11am in Manchester....mate watched all mi gear while he was fishing too.
Got back about 5pm....all set for night now, had a takeaway, mate has lost 2 fish already.
Did a 24 hour on Wednesday and it was hot. I prefer my brolly system to a bivvy as it fits in the rod quiver and is less to take and set up. Didn't bother with the overwrap as it was so mild. Plastered on the sun cream. legionnaires cap to protect my neck and spent most of the day sat in the shade in the trees that surround the swim and drank cups and cups of orange squash. Still got a touch of sunstroke and had a headache yesterday!
