I think i`ll stick to a standard hair rig and fish it as close to the bottom as i can , like you say why comlicate things when you dont have to . once again many thanks

Thanks again for your replys very informative as usual,you say in your reply you use both a standard hair rig and a D rig for pop ups the reason being i`m having a little trouble with the d rig , but a standard hair rig i`m ok with, what situation does a Drig out perform a standard hair rig? also i only plan to pop up the bait up an inch or two because i would imagine dead leaves are not that deep!!!!!

How come you`ve become literate all of a sudden ?

I know there`s probably not an answer to this question so i`ll be happy with some advice , im planning on fishing a lake at the weekend where hi viz pop ups seem to work very well , i was wondering how far off the bottom you would recommend poping up the boillie , the area i plan on fishing is near an island that is crammed with trees so theres obviously a lot of leaves on the bottom i know this because when you retrieve you rig theres always a few leaves on the hook, also i`ve never really used pop ups before so any tips on attaching them would be good , i have bought some rig rings is this the best way are there any threads on the forum with diagrams or photos of pop up rigs , that would be most helpful thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!!!!

Korda extender stops in three sizes ,the largest allow a hair to be extended by 11.5mm , smallest 2.5mm , really useful, if you make your hair for a 10mm boillie , the largest will let you use a 20mm bait without changing the hair length
