crofty82 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I was looking at a few rigs using hook beads and swivels instead of the normal hair rig and d rig. Has anyone found that using this kind a rig the bait presentation is any better or is there any negative effects for this. Basically i will use a micro swivel on the hook with a bead to stop and push the sivel through the bait and tie up with dental floss this is something im considering using when doing pop-ups. It seems very simple but just after peoples thoughts who may have used this kind of presentation. thanks crofty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple pop-up rig is exactly the same rig as a bottom bait rig, but with a pop-up attached to the hook and a counterweight on or below the hook/hair to set your distance. Many of my pop-up rigs are simply a Uni-knot loop at the end of the hair, (with bait in loop when tying hooklink), and a knotless knot with the bait tight to the shank. The counterbalance is then just below the hook the distance you want it popped up. I must confess though, make sure you use VERY buoyant pop-ups, and overbalance them rather than critically getting as close to neutral as you possibly can. I want the hook to be proud of the lakebed, sitting shank straight up, and point pointing straight down. Other than that I find a D-rig is usually the best presentation I can use for pop-ups. Is this any use? https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=22185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
