  2. Pop Up Rig Problem

    in UK Rig Tying

    Posted

    None of the others make it sit that way. Just when using that. I dont know whether it could be shot that is making the hooklink twist im not sure just going to have to play around with it i think.

     

    Would it matter in hooking potential??

  3. Pop Up Rig Problem

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    First of all i dont usually post articles or ask questions on here so go easy!

     

    Recently i have been experienceing problems with my pop up rigs. I use a standard Knotless Knot, wide gape hook, bit of silicone on the bend and some shrink tubing. i also add a small shot just below the tubing to counter balance.

     

    I have noticed that when testing, the hook point seems to be pointing towards my lead (hope that makes sense). So instead of it kicking away from the lead it points to the lead. So in essence making the rig useless. In other words it twists around.

     

    I am actually tying a rig with the new snails and it also happens with the sweetcorn and boilies aswell when making rigs.

     

    Can anyone shed a bit of light on this for me to help solve this problem.

     

    Thanks

    Id just like to say that apart from blanking, taking a trip to blackpool a&e and being wet all weekend this is a very good fishery and even though on the 2nd night i did not put alot of effort in as i could not use my right hand i really enjoyed my 2 nights here.

     

    There are fish to be caught. Infact i netted a nice mirror from a guy next to me weighing in at 20lb. the owners are so helpfull and the faciltities made the wet conditions seem like nothing.

     

    I will definately be back again when i have time away from uni and got a bit more money as i am revamping my gear.

     

    This is definately going to be one of my regulars.

    Hi

     

    Korda leaders are they worth the money or is there something else out there that is just as good especially with someone who has a tight budget? At 5 quid a leaders it can be quite dear especially with 3 rods and 4 different types.

    well i used alot of groundbait, maize, hemp over a high viz pop-up in the middle. to be fair though when i went the over guy did nit have anything all night but the night before he had two 20lbers so cant quite undertstand that one. cud have been abttered before me so ....... that was on peg 10 and it was back in october i usually just leave ma stuff to collect dust in the winter haha.

     

    i fished more or less to the banking on peg 10 then out in mid water with a fusion bollie on its own with groundbait etc in the middle. it was end of october and not many people were catching so to be fair that might of been it really. ill probz use same bait etc this time around as it is getting warmer so might introduce some oily baits.
