terryjones Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thinking of trying this rig out has anyone used it? Is it as good as the hype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've used it quite often in the past using critically balanced baits but honestly don't believe it's any better than a normal braided knotless knot rig . Imo my best results were using a pop up with a shot on the hair . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryjones Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yeah that's my plans with it I'm booked for 3 nights on a water and very shallow pop ups work well just thought may give me better hooking potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bivvystreet Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Think I'd be putting some pva to trap the hair on the cast as well unless it's going in a bag. Apologies if that was the plan anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickmix Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 It definitely works, personally I prefer a drilled bottom bait, with a cork insert, on a fairly long and supple hair. It partly works because of the aggressive angle between the bait and hook, but I think it mainly works because of the way it is ejected. When the bait is ejected, it drags the hook out from the eye end of the hook first, giving the point of the hook a better chance of findng purchase. It's for that reason that I don't like rigs with tubing or hook stops on or near the bend of the hook. In that case, when the bait is ejected, it drags the hook out from the bend first. (I know they do work, but I think it lessens your chances). rosstheangler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
