I am slightly in love with my new(ish) bottom bait rig, haven't lost a fish since I started using it, and every one of the three fish has been hooked square in the bottom lip
What, no pic?
Of the fish, or the rig?
the fish

Tiemco shrimp 4,6,8.
armapoint ssbp 4 (zander 1 your spot on with this one if only for 26mm+ baits)
Nash Fang uni 4,6 very very occasionally
Kams b175s 6,8 simply a corking good all round hook

You need to pm elite1. He's been before and for those who dont know, caught an 80
82.08 from memory mate wasnt it????? stonker

three lads in my syndi are regular on it mate, give me a couple of days to get some info together and will get back to you

for the hybrid i just strip back enought to do the knot then do a normal blood knot
-
On the free Korda DVD ( catalogue ) Danny shows you how to tie Hybrid properly. The knots need steaming as you tighten them down. It seems like a pain in the backside to me. Every time you tie a knot you have to get the kettle on .
I used to use hybrid for the majority of my fishing, and I always change my rig for a new one each cast, so yes.......the steaming gets to be a real pain in the proverbial

quite, I dont scale down or chop and change in the least mate

very rarely use coated braids anymore, choose to hinge my rigs with bristle insead, or a simple length of merlin. the only coated links I do use frequently are my own version of the recoil rig, where the silicone tubing gives me the desired kick out off the lead yet is still supple, plus I get the added spring in the rig whichI find highly beneficial for very riggy fish
-
Only way I introduce glug is by soaking hooklength and a dung lead and freezing them down prior as I feel any more than this is too much of a big hit and too concentrated. plus the hooklength stays perfectly straight for the cast
-
Every one I've ever seen is clear plastic, with a blue tint
Well you dont look that hard, you can even get them in Yellow
god mate dont start him off again!!!!! his set up will look like a radioactive mishap
-
would blow around on the bed, its only going to represent the weight of the dry float once under water once filled as water has the same density as .......water

I'm trying to decide whether Triggalink is a genuine edge, or just another gimmick, I think I'll have to get some to try it out, as it seems like a good idea in principle
A similar rig is printed in this months CARPology, and from the Nash website, their suggestion is using it with a combilink of 1 in of armourbraid to the hook
I use my own version of this, based on frank warwicks recoil rig, ie supple braid at around 8-10" inside a four" peice of silicone tube but with a stiff right angled boom pinning the hook to the bed with a critically balanced bait fished blow back, for certain situations and it has proved itself eight times on seriously riggy fish this year.

yep, yhat to myself is good for the soul

Osprey angling are bringing out a range of invisible end tackle, next year i think.
Leads, lead clips beads rubbers, leads etc.
This may be who goblin is already getting them from, not sure?
no mate, and they have the same problem, impossible to tighten down to them
but korda leads coating isnt exactly coarse is it, thats a smooth plastic coating, also, once the diamond lead thing has been dragged about a bit, not gonna be so invisible anymoe,if they are, scatches and gouges will hold debris and stuff.
read the whole thread before you jump in with a comment that is totally out of context
and as for clear hooks, well yet again read the posts. total farce eh
you can comment on the leads when you have been using them for the last twelve months and have an informed view
-
IE. .................see above
-
also find out who is top rod, watch there decisions in any given condition as to location, with high wind,rain, slack water etc and try to build up a pattern in that which will help you to formulate your own plans and methods.
Not suggesting diving in swims, simply watch and take it on board and work out reasons for their decisions in set conditions
-
all depends on the weather,water level,undertow, water temp,location and what level the fish are actually feeding at in intensity.....too many variables to give a straight answer. experiment but keep it simple to start with or else you could go past the perfect rig for your situation and be doing things worse without even knowing. dont change more than one thing at a time and always record your changes,weather etc etc etc in a notebook.....................................................................................................a pattern will emerge
-
sounds like a job worth doing
elastic band and a pair of snips........................worked on a pig farm when growing up at school.
worst job was doing the stockholm tar when they were nibbling each others tails
-
you reckon????????? not a chance
-
we all have a penchant for something..................for instance yours is yellow butt rests
-
no difference in presentation mate, most likely to find that your club has a hardcore of matchmen.
both presentations put a tight bed down and a bait right on top.
why cant you fish the "method with your hookbait cast to it or dropped by boat????
would keep levels of naturals high but forget the bolt rig......go for a free running lead and a slack line for indication, any takes are likely to be finicky and you need it to register properly. hit the twitches, dont wait for a full blooded run
-
fish a heavily and i mean HEAVILY weeded water as I do with barbless and you need castrating with a spoon, and I will gladly do it
New Rig invention ?
in UK Rig Tying

adamk.....just noticed your "location"........not conducive to getting any further with your fishing
in your long carping career (both years
) did it occur to you to try humble as an approach????
