Its called a critically balanced pop-up NOT a bottom bait OK thought i would run it by you if ok

i bore out a little hole in bottom of pop-up, then put blob of tungston putty on hair, slide pop-up down, put on hair/boilie stop, then push putty inside cavity in boilie, neat and critically balanced easily.

Ok guys, not a french expert and am not going to go into massive detail. However for me dreamlakes was a good venue. i visited may 08, only been carping 2 years then, and was happy with 29 carp, 4 cats. Dont know what some people expect, we go to france to beat pbs and catch amounts of big carp in a week we cant dream of in uk. Well for me and others i know dreamlakes fits bill. Oh and saying owner smokes/takes crack/coke is b...cks, for starters more than one individual owns dreamlakes, so got that wrong and main owner was there all week i was, i had breakfast and dinner everyday with zen(1 of owners) and he is top guy, not once was smoke/gear/snort mentioned or seen. I would pick up on it,trust me ive done 10 years security/doorman. Guys, be your own judge.

Hi guys, havnt been to both venues but have fished dreamlake 2. You cant get better quality carp than the 50lb common i saw caught, or the 110lb cat, also a venue record of 67lb 8oz carp. Food was excellent, anglers were real laugh, as well as sharing info, bailiffs were generally great, 2 bailiffs stood out but others were ok. Met owner Zen on my week and he is a top guy.

Well i think all these knots have a place, i have used a modified blood knot for 30 years, if i lose fish its from hook-pulls(not often thankfully), generally i find the cheap lines might not like bloodknots but if your using strong/qaulity line(not braid or flourocarbon) the form of bloodknot i use is good enough to land my quarry, If you prepare properly, and have confidence in what catches you fish...why worry..tight lines chaps.
