How did you do with it Dal? I've never seen it before...

ohhhhhh. so how long is the hair normally or distance between hook and bait???

daft question possibly...whats the benefit of that rig?.

I cant believe I fell for that, in my defence I thought it was July ..... lol what a sucker!!! :oops:

Nice one mate, you and your family deserve it more than anyone I know, :razz: :razz:

My mates on the syndicate there, he said it was a bit clicky and big rodent problem,

It's one of Rob Hales waters isn't it ??

Bloomin eck Nige, You live on a farm lol

I've got a brindle staffy who thinks he is the gaffer and owns the house....

I wasn't aware of the plastics that take on glugs.... now I want some but thinking about it that ali hamidi or whatever his name is always glugs his plastic bait.

I used plastic a lot last year and I tried glugging and not glugging and tbh honest I don't think it made any difference at all. Remember plastic is non porous so it cant absorb anything it just sits on the surface which is washed off as soon as the bait hits the lake bed

Some baliefs are proper jobsworths the one on our local is the same I tend to ignore him as much as I can

A loop to loop. great idea and like you say its easy enough to change

If you want to use a pva bag with anti tangle sleeve why not just hook the pva mesh onto your hook or use a solid bag,

years ago before boilies did they not use par boiled potatoes ? anyone tried them ?

the remote control for the telly....

Just stick at it mate keep going keep putting the bait in and have confidence in your bait and rig its just a matter of time and you will have mr carp on the bank

I shave my head. Everything from the neck up gets cold. Ian Yes im afraid i have to admit i to also shave from the neck up only because if i didnt i would look like a flippin Monk, so a quick polish in the morning and im done

I like my hair short.. but my ears dont half get cold

the biggest bearing on hooklegnth will be a couple of things, the size of hook you are using and the size of hookbait you are using in my opinion

you crack me up

dont forget a bit of pva string also does the trick quite niceley

im fairly new to carp fishing as all i had ever done was fishing with a float and i swore then no way would i ever get into carp fishing per se but i have and i love it i love reading up about alternative rigs and i love trying them out, at the moment i dont catch very many but hopefully with experience my catch rate will go up. the question can we improve bottom rigs set me thinking and i hope someone can answer it it may very well have been asked before so here goes. what were the rigs like years ago and were they successful and do you think the rigs you are using now are better
