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. :D

i thought you'd caught on it :wink: ,i never used solid bags,well i did blanked and then they got wet in my box.....never brought any since :lol:

 

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 :lol::lol::lol:

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. :D

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.

good video bill cheers, ive used the solid bags on a few ocasions and cant get them tite enough and sometimes as youve said ive casted and they have flew off in the other direction. thus why i stick with my little pva sticks slid down my hook link. i will give the solid bags another go now. cheers
