Totally depends on what rig you are using and what you want to achieve, most people have it so it has a slight curve.
-
I always use them mate and never had a single problem with them.
-
Esp strip teaze buddy.
-
esp strip teaze mate. Although the supple part turns white.
-
Mate if you haven't brought the solar one yet don't bother as a wine cork is perfect.
-
If it's gravel you are fishing on I would use a 2oz inline lead, 3 or 4 inch of strip teaze, with a Raptor size 7 hook. Don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this question tho mate, just trial and error to see what works best for you on that water.
-
I don't use braid for my pop ups. In fact this year I have only used 3 hook link materials. Esp stripteaze, korda IQ soft, and drennen double strength for my zigs and floater fishing.
-
Oh yeah you need to strip a few inches of the outer coating off, use your teeth. Strip it back enough to make a hair, whip round the shank of the hook 6 or so times, and leave a little bit left so the hook can turn nicely. If that makes sense. lol
-
We have all got to start some where mate. Go to your tackle shop and pick up some esp strip teaze, I use 15lb in green. It takes on the colour of the lake bed mate, and blends in nice. I use a nice size 7 esp rapto D7 hook with it make. Pukka combo.
-
So you are using fluorocarbon at the moment and want to give braid a try? Why don't you try a fluorocarbon coated braid such as esp stripteaze
-
I use 6 foot usually and I join it to the main line with a needle knot.
-
Or if you are not sure try the new esp leadcore rigs, they are quality and not to pricey either.
-
Thats impossible to answer mate. If you are fishing on gravel you can get away with useing a short hook link, but if you are fishing say over silt you will need a longer hooklink.
-
I've done it I've finaly found a hook I'm 100% happy with. I've tried so many differant hooks on the market and most just have not been up to scratch, untill now. ESP RAPTOR D-7. Belive me these hooks are quality, I'm well happy with them.
-
I know what you mean it is very frustrating, if you'r allowed to use leadcore on you'r water I would use that.
-
ESP Raptor D-7 Get on these hooks they are the muts nuts, trust me.
-
ESP D-7 hooks, quality hooks. Allso Carp R US hooks are good. Try the carp r us 360 for your pop ups.
-
steam from a kettle mate.
-
Does anyonre use Berkley Trilene for there hook link while using zigs? What do you think? I've been using Korda IQ, but gets a bit expensive as I'm nailing them in 7 foot of water.
-
I was using esp strip teaz today, and that allso done that. I have to agree with you on the mantis gold tho, quality hook link.
-
Black Stealth looks a good one for silt, although I've not used it as yet.
-
Mate your best bet would be to buy a Helicopter rig pack from your tackle shop. Solar do a good pack which is cheap, well it is compared to the korda pack. lol
-
If I fished the above rig with a pop up will that turn it into a chod rig? I guess if I'm fishing on top of weed I just move the bead further up. Is this right?
-
Just make sure you use a bit of rig foam on your hook.
-
How long do pop ups stay bouyant for if you put them on a hair using a baiting needle? I'm using the Frank warrick ones at the moment.
