iberiancarpa Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Nice one Bill. Must admit though I nearly fell asleep while you were looking for the hole in the bag Why the whispering? Quote
papabill Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 ha ha ha sorry iberian, i dont usually have trouble finding the hole i was whispering cos i was fishing down in the margins. bill Quote
beanz Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 whats your thinking behide such a long hook lenght ,bill Quote
papabill Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 whats your thinking behide such a long hook lenght ,bill i wouldnt normally use such a long hook length but i know there is a lot of silt on the bottom of the venue i was fishing, and i was thinking once the bag has disolved and got disturbed the balanced bait could settle on the silt rather than in it. i would usually use a shorter, uncoated hooklength though. the bailiff also told us thaton a clear bottom the fish in there will sit on your lead and eat around it ignoring all the baits close in. this time however i caught on both short and long.

beanz Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 i thought you'd caught on it ,i never used solid bags,well i did blanked and then they got wet in my box.....never brought any since but all iv seen or read suggest short links did have a laugh once when a mate coiled a long rig up in one....i told him he best check it in the margin............doing it like your tidying a extension cable doesnt work Quote
papabill Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 im the same mate, i had only used them once before october last year, and that first time i cast in, the bag hit the water, floated on the surface and then floated off depositing baits nowhere near my rig!! since then, ive practiced a lot, and now i can tie them pretty quick and quite tidy, i use them all the time now, but you are right about hooklinks, they are normally short for bag work.

beanz Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 not that iv tried it,but i have seen them tied off by just licking the inside as you twist it,so you dont need the tape Quote
papabill Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 thats how my mate ash does it, but personally i think there is more residue left by doing it that way, and i wouldnt feel as confident about it staying closed if i was about to pelt it as far as i could. also did u notice i mentioned about wrapping the pva tape DOWN the knot? this gives the bag extra tightness. but each to their own, whatever works for the angler.

beanz Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 well obviously ash is the man.....and your just a noddy Quote
