alfredo839 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 carp are v inquisitive etc etc was wandering about inserting a lit isotope through a boilie so it would be 90 deg to the hair just had a measure up with a 15mm and the ends of the isotope were protruding about 1mm out of boilie it looks great has anyone had a go at this before? would it cause any probs to the fish? can anyone think of reasons for it to be a no no Quote
leggs007 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 the liquid inside isotope would not be very good for carp or the plastic Quote
alfredo839 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Posted May 31, 2011 I cant see why the isotope would move and it certainly shouldnt leak but i suppose sods law it would Quote

tel90 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Enterprise do a glow in the dark corn that can be charged up with a special torch. Will work better and be safer for the fish imo Quote
carpking4 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 A few lads do that on my lake, they use zigs at night with a isotope through the middle, they seem to catch a few on it aswell ? I've never tried it though. Suppose you could get a bit of black foam and insert one through the middle? Might work, not sure how safe it is for the fish though saying that, I'm ok with it as the liquid shouldn't leak? But it might so do some tests first mate in a small bowl at home? Dan Quote

brooklands Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Donkey's years ago Bob Morris put isotopes in his baits at the Tip Lake, Darenth. It didn't work.............. Quote
Guest keenook Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Arhhhhh good old Bob Morris, what a gent! And the Tip lake back then was a lovely place to spend a few days! Oh the memories! Quote
brooklands Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 The Tip sure was a nice place. Preferred the quiet corners myself like the Dry Dock, The Gap and Booker's Bend. Talking of Booker's, Mr Morris certainly knew to how to catch from there. Most anglers never knew of the bar to the left only a rod length out. What a spot! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Cotswold creations do glow in the dark pop ups that are real, not placcy. I used them once and caught a mid 20 and lost one Quote
alfredo839 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 going to have to keep an eye openfor some of them me thinks. hmmmmm but i was thinking surely if it was a winner everyone would be doing it by now? i thought it was agreat idea aswell going to try it though on 1 rod see what happens Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 Bang one out on a spot at night as a single with no freebies, if some of the cagey fish I dangle for are happy to try them I'm sure you'll do ok Quote
