Free-lining is great for stalking, when you can physically see the fish take the bait. But, with no lead to pull the hook home and no tension on the clutch to do the same, 30 yards out, you were lucky to hook it imo buddy.

Hi guys anyone used the bait room pop ups
yonny replied to Carp123_0's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
Better than most. Proper Job Pop Ups are better (imo). -
Agree.
-
Yeah, I know what you meant buddy. We only boil to add integrity to the bait and prevent nuisance species from whittling them down. That boiling process does denature that baits so if nuisance species aint a problem then go ahead.
-
Absolutely, 100%, downright LETHAL in winter.
-
Worth a go if there's no nuisance species to speak of I reckon.
-
That's why we use leaders Nick.

A barbel rod should do the trick. They make great floater rods too.
-
No mate, they have no transmitter. The are compatible with the TXR Micro dongle/receiver jobbies though.

Agree with emmcee, or you can always chuck a chod out and cross your fingers.

100%.

Simple. Always. You need to be on fish to catch them. - If you can see them, you know you're on them. - If you can't see them, you might be on them - but normally are not. Forget about the "what ifs". We can only fish for what we can see. The most effective anglers do not rely on luck buddy. You need to make it happen.👍

I tend to use hinges and ronnies which might explain our different experiences buddy. Never had an issue👍

I find the more weighty the rig is (hookbait+hook+swivel(s)+putty) the less tangle prone it is!
-
UB Baits are no more.
-
Proper Job Pop Ups are still going strong.
-
Yes - although I would test it in a glass to see how long it will keep your particular pattern of hook up for. The 13 mm needs a fair bit of putty to hold it down, I even had to trim the pop ups down. The 11 mm will keep a hinge with a size 5 Chodda up for 48 hrs easily, and that's with putty too. They're be far the most buoyant pop ups on the market buddy.
-
Yes mate.
-
Once winter hits you need to cut out any oils. Other liquids are absolutely fine mate.
-
Spot on. When (or IF) the weed dies down they'll have a period when they go mental on that naturals that are revealed (bloodworm etc). Sometimes only naturals can compete with this - maggots, worms etc. Once they've passed this period boilies can indeed be the one, but not always. In that case do exactly what caught your fish but increase the baiting levels significantly.
-
It has been a very healthy year weather wise. No mental heat waves has meant the carp have continued to feed throughout the entire summer and this is reflected in fish weights. All over the country fish are coming out at top weights, MASSIVE weights. It's also done the environment the world of good. The grass is green and the water is clear, unlike last year when the grass was brown and the water was pea green!

Lol..... I have one too, great jacket. Fabsil can only re-proof water proof material. It can't make normal material waterproof.

Boilies in USA/NC

Imo crumb will just wash away on the river buddy, I think you're better off sticking to whole boilies. -
Waterproofs buddy.👍

Fabsil for clothes, Fabsil Gold for shelters.
