the cabins are amazing, and so is the bar! loads of lakes to choose from, and the fishing was brilliant!!!
only thing i found slightly wierd was that even though you were staying at the resort, you still had to buy a day ticket????

damn it!!!! and there was me thinking id cracked it!!! ah well im just gonna jump in my little red and yellow car and head back to toy town!!!!!!

thats how my mate ash does it, but personally i think there is more residue left by doing it that way, and i wouldnt feel as confident about it staying closed if i was about to pelt it as far as i could.
also did u notice i mentioned about wrapping the pva tape DOWN the knot?
this gives the bag extra tightness.
but each to their own, whatever works for the angler.

im the same mate, i had only used them once before october last year, and that first time i cast in, the bag hit the water, floated on the surface and then floated off depositing baits nowhere near my rig!!
since then, ive practiced a lot, and now i can tie them pretty quick and quite tidy, i use them all the time now, but you are right about hooklinks, they are normally short for bag work.
-
whats your thinking behide such a long hook lenght ,bill
i wouldnt normally use such a long hook length but i know there is a lot of silt on the bottom of the venue i was fishing, and i was thinking once the bag has disolved and got disturbed the balanced bait could settle on the silt rather than in it. i would usually use a shorter, uncoated hooklength though.
the bailiff also told us thaton a clear bottom the fish in there will sit on your lead and eat around it ignoring all the baits close in.
this time however i caught on both short and long.

i sometimes use a pellet band pulled through the rig ring on the D loop, then use a bait needle to pull the pellet band through the pop up.
