I saw this used by Andy Little on a Richworth DVD, The boilie was cut in half, then half was put on the hair then the attractor tablet then the other half of the boilie ( pop up as I remember) And it worked, on the DVD He called it the fizzy burger rig I don't know if you can still get them?
Good post, However I still do not have the confidence in fishing them on their own, I find them great as a "tip" bait with Maize, corn or peanuts as they keep the baits on for the cast and add a little buoyancy, plus the visual aspect that’s all.
So are you saying that Carp recognize plastic as a food source because of it's amino acid signature? Let's not forget that it is a synthetic structure so is not made up by proteins, which are made up from amino acids???
Give it a go if your confident in it! For me I have fished Corn tipped with fake corn, and been robbed of the real corn and received no takes! Makes me wonder? but if yours have been glugged, then that makes them a bait in their own right, I think
Do you have confidence fishing them on their own? I must be honest, I never fish them on their as I have no confidence in them an always fish them as a "Tip" bait, A visual attractor. Would you fish it on its own at say 140 yrds as a single, and expect to catch???
