A few lads do that on my lake, they use zigs at night with a isotope through the middle, they seem to catch a few on it aswell ? I've never tried it though. Suppose you could get a bit of black foam and insert one through the middle? Might work, not sure how safe it is for the fish though saying that, I'm ok with it as the liquid shouldn't leak? But it might so do some tests first mate in a small bowl at home? Dan

ESP gets my vote, big thumbs up

True

Sorry forgot to say that braid is band

Not a rig as such but what main line do you use for your floater fishing? And what hooklink? I normally use double strength for hooklink but will be interested to hear peoples ideas on mainline

On a lake that is windy (and i mean very windy) most of the time, will there be much tow under the water (like the seas current)? i appreciate there wont be much, but when its extremely windy, do you think there will be much movement of a 1.5 ounce to 3 ounce lead in 5-6ft of water at about 50-70 yard range? any opinions on a 1.5 ounce lead as im thinking of going down from a 3 ounce lead to a 1.5 ounce

NAILED I would say, barbed hooks? Did you try forceps, I have never had problems getting hooks out? Not sure really

Location, location, I won't fish at the syndicate without finding the fish and this year I had a ggod hit at finding the fish, putting 200 baits in a massive area and then firing 3 or 4 choddies onto that area, however onto the waters I fished the year before, I couldn't catch on choddies, I could only catch on "simple" rigs such as the "blowback" and a simple bit of line aligned shrink tube and the hair coming off of the middle of the shank, the first ever hair rig occording to kevin Nash and if any of you have seen his illustration of which a carp sucks and blows, I strongly agree with it A carp sucking, when a carp sucks, it sucks the hook and boilie back into the back of it's mouth, and then blows, thus the boilie goes out first followed by the hook turning and going out bend first which will not enable the hook to catch hold Watch his video on YouTube it's about 3 minutes from the end on his guide for rigs part 2 (rig mechanics) o

sorry, thats what i meant, because he says something like 'the people that used the hair rig had no hair as they had used it as the hair on the actuall rig' lol and i got confused with the 'blowback ring' and the hair, indeed it did come off of the bend of the hook, and thanks for pointing me in the right direction thanks dan What do we all think to the all new solar end gear range? the supposed camo range (weed effect)

Made for the use of (tom dove) a muzza rig as the critically balanced bottom bait takes away the weight of the hook so it seems waitless just like a normal bottom bait weight.

There's a thread all about this somewhere, about doing everything for people LOL and just stick a simpe rig out on the fish, ????

LOL I'm just comparing the value them Korda leaders are a wrip off crack off and 6 quid down the drain ?????

nope 20m of leadcore is a yenner

what rigs do you lot prefer to use with flurocarbon any help appreciated

wellingbourough lakes by tescos if you know might have to have a ggod inspection down wooly, see a few where do you get the ticket from bud as i have never had one

what the two lakes down there? Or the one LOL sorry so many questions might have a bike down myself, might see you mate

Well if it's the lake I think your on about ft a ticket on it can you do nights?anyway have a look in google earth last time I looked it was shallow an you can see the gullys and bars, when it's hot fish these as the fish are up in the water so I'm told, they look ok lake mate, I might have a bike down at the weekend and then go to me syndi and bait up

Hi mate what the lakes up the track I no where your on about I live in rushden (5 minutes away) go down on a sunny day up the tree and the biggun' sits there sunbathing never had a ticket how much is it

Nice one buddy, well in Just tied up some flurocarbon stiff rigs and the hinged choddy going to try them on a runs water first than rather the syndicate, although I will have one rod on the standard braid hooklink LOL

Any reason for this bud

I normally use the standard braid and hair however I was thinking of experimenting with rigs such as the flurocarbon llink, the missing link,and rigs like that ,obviously in runs waters first to make sure they work then move onto the syndicates

What would you lot use in the margin for a rig as of you were placing it by hand, stiring up the bottom of an infil/spring pipe and fishing over bottom baits and groundbait, I normally use a standard hair but was wiundering what others would use if placed in the same situation

i use a newish sort of shrink tube might be from osprey but cant remember but it kicks the hook out at a perfect angle its great stuff

i know but i use leadcore at the minute
