  1. As a few of you are aware, a couple of us will be on Churn pool at the weekend. The place is infested with cray fish and as I'm sat at home tying up the rig I feel will combat them, I was wondering what the rest of you would do.

     

    I want to fish a bottom bait, which will be meshed and hardened. It's more the actual rig that I'm talking about. So that's the only constraint, a bottom bait rig.

    What would you want it to do? How would you like it to behave? What characteristics would you want in the rig?

     

    I have taken pictures of what I have decided on and will post up either before I leave or when I get back. I will expand on why I tied it and why I used the materials I did when I post up the pics.

     

    Fire away.......

  2. I moved down to Somerset from Shropshire, and the meres, back in early 2000's. I'm now back up here.

    I was a member of South Cerney and it has a lake on there that I wish I could have spent more time on. Massive and, for the best part, an unknown stock. Very similar to Bradleys before they lost it off the ticket and it got stocked with thousands of stock.

    Huntstrete is a nice lake to spend time on. Check out Useph's posts in the blog section.

    You could even venture down to Bridgwater and join the local club. They have a lake at coombwich that might suit you. If it were me though, I would get a ticket for Horseshoe and get my name down on Farriers.

  3. I did a bit on there with Nicksingleton, a member on here. He had a lot more time on there than me and I moved back up here before I got to the bottom of the place.

    There always used to be a number on the gate but not sure who controls it now. Maybe a pm to NIck might unearth a bit more info for you. You can always ask in Somerset angling.

  4. I'm no rig mechanic the most technical rig I use is a snake bite combi, but there are other rigs that give a 360 turn, there is a hinged stiff rig made from two pieces of fluro and a swivel at the join, the bit I don't like about this 360 rig is the swivel on the hook? Just looks like too much metal and aggressive?

    Same amount if metal as the hinged stiff rig you describe!
