  1. Unless you are using neat F10 disinfectant, i wouldn't bank on it killing everything. UV light, or a bath full of Ozoneated water is your best bet IMO.
  2. OP not wishing to start a confusing debate on what is clearly a very useful post for beginners. But how do you feel about this exact rig, but with the hair exiting the after 2/4 turns of the knotless knot, more often referred to a 'KD'?? That is the basically the rig i fish with a size 6, for 80% of my hard bottom fishing. My hook-holds are (touch wood) far better because of it. Opinions?
  3. Fluorocarbon will never rival a neutral soft braid. I also would not get too hung up on selecting the right colour, they can't see as well as the tackle company's may lead you to believe. Lake beds are littered with all sorts of things that a fish cannot differentiate.
  4. You lost all credibility when you said sweetcorn isnt that good a bait. What is the other 1%?
  5. I used to fish the A1 pits, and many times saw the train bank lined up with motorhomes. I used to be quite jellous at times.
  6. My personal preference with curvshank hooks is to tie it is a very very aggressive 'Kd' style, so that if you pull the hooklink and hair, the hook almost sits at 90degrees to the hook link. With a relitevely long hair, and short hooklink. It looks utterly wrong, feels wrong, and even after most of my best fish to that rig, I still look at it as if I was on crack when I first tied it.
  7. I like using d-rings with a supple braid. Two bits of corn tied to the rig ring, and three maggots on the hook. Catches a lot of tench.
