Very simple  
Can i use pop-up for it? Or is better use zig foam?

I don't know the amount of fish because it's a public reservoir. Unfortunately here in Portugal are many anglers who still have the tradition of catch & freeze instead catch & release
I'm talking about the lake on the left, that little red point. Most anglers prefer to go to another lake near (less than 15km) because it's easier to fish there. I can tell you that the smallest carp i catched in the little one, was bigger that the bigger carp that i catched until today on the big lake.

I'm waiting for my vacations to wet my lines again!
Give me a little help, do you spod over zigs? I saw it on a video from Korda, but when i spod i'm trying to create a bed of food on the bottom of the lake. But i will use zigs to fish on upper layers of water, not the bottom... 
 

This was good viewing too. 
I liked the presentation of the hook, not so sure I'd use maggots, as I only seem to catch small perch,. I hope Nige will like the product plug. 
 

This is interesting 
 

I don't use zigs very often but know that I should!

Hi all, 

This is something I have been thinking I would do for a while and have never got round to do it. 
I would appreciate any feedback good or bad so I can work on these points in my upcoming videos.

You stalk your prey if you can't see your prey how  can you stalk it ?
Its all fishing and as long your enjoying what you do then it doesn't really matter

The guys that own the local tackle shop built a propane powered cannon, and it fired an 18L pail of groundbait 100 yds in just a few shots.  As far as I know, they only used it once though.

ill get me self one of these

I'll try the helicopter rig on my next fishing trip.
I've been use it to present pop-ups over grass, but i'll give a try with boilies. This new lake where i'm starting to fish has really clear waters, and the fish doesn't come to the margins. After some tests i'll post the results (and some big fish photos too, i hope)

The helicopter lead set up will travel the furthest & is pretty bullet proof for presentation so might be worth a look for you . But like Nick mentions stopping that line & kicking it all out just before it hits the water & feeling the lead down,  should see a pendant set up fishing fine no matter what range . Try reeling in slower & smoother as it could be just tangling on the way in if the rods  bouncing around a lot .

Nice to see a new question on the same topic on a thread.
A lot of the time as you pick up the rod and move the lead, the hooklink can tangle around the mainline, especially with fine mono and braids.
When you cast, feather it down, that pushes the hook and bait away from the lead. As it falls, obviously the end tackle follows it down, it can coil around the lead as it lands. On picking up, it then tangles, making you wonder for how long. PVA'ing it up tidily can cure the problem, as can a stringer or mess.
Even coated braid can tangle if it has been stripped or hinged, or is fairly soft and supple.
With an anti-tangle, I found a stiff shrink tube is better than many softer anti-tangle sleeves which can bend and flex up.
 
Obviously PVA stringers, even a single bait on PVA, can reduce tangles, but sometimes to get maximum distance a single bait is best. For that I will often go to a stiffer hooklink material, a totally uncoated braid, a stiff mono or fluorocarbon. 

Like everything in life, we need new challenges to keep focused.
I love carp fishing, but is normal to get hours in the bank without that massive run that make us crazy.
Sometimes I left my "heavy" equipment at some, and go to the lake with my fly rod. Is amazing fishing carp and some barbel with a so lightweight material.
