well the longer ur hair the harder it is for a carp to eject the bait so i tend to use a longer hair but i normaly stick with a gud old 360 rig with a sliding ring does the bizness 4 me

 

What is the 360 rig mate?

I have heard of people using hairs as long as 3 or 4 inches, but not tried them myself.

 

Yeah, Jim Shelley for a start!

Thats terrible mate. I can only assume that its what everyone says, just a bad batch.

 

The other week i was fishing with the same stuff and the water temp was quite cold, i made a stick up and threw it in the margins where i could see how long it melted. It took 4 mins before it started to dissolve and within 7 minutes it was all gone.

 

Just a bit of completely useless information there but it gives everyone a rough guide to how long the stuff takes to melt.

looks good but bit expensive for what it is,have been using a cork to wrap my rigs round to get the bends on

 

I use an old pike float.
