chav carp no taste for quality

no i know what you mean and i am still yet to give it a go, but is their any particular reason you think it wouldn't work. i have a couple of bits of corn that have been in a glug pot of attractor for nearly a year with the intension of trying this (and i know i don't need to leave them that long, thats where they live though ok) at the end of the day when fished as a visual it does the job

i have to say i am the same, normally fish on top of a another bait as a visual thing but thats not to say it wouldn't work how you describe, popped up over some maize maybe. on one of the france trips last year i fished with just maize on the hair 3-4 bits with the full intension of swapping over to a popped up bit of corn over a couple of bait spoons full of maize, the grass carp went mad on the maize and ended up not trying it. but why wouldn't it work ?

as above use the gardner cylinder rig foam is great stuff i caught a couple of weeks ago with three small bits trimmed down black yellow black. (the wasp rig ) just use on a hair rig setup as you would with your pop up's also if you are gonna fish zigs don't be afraid to fish them on a couple of rods or all of your rods with differant depths for example 2ft 3ft 4ft if one works then swap over and go for that lengh another Korda piece of advice their coutesy of Ali Hamidi thinking tackle three.... i personally always struggled with confidence in the zig with worry of poor bite detection but slowley my confidence has grown over the last few years....and i have some good fish that i would not of had if i wasn't sticking a bait in front of their nose 4ft of the lake bed !! tight lines
