Yeah I wont use a rig balanced in that way, I have the hook laying flat with anything balanced.  Blunting and asking to pick up debris IMO

Think I would give it a miss to be honest mate, just another thing to question if I'm not catching 🤣 I do like these under water videos, I know they are mainly plugging products but you can learn a lot from the carps behaviour etc. 

I was having a chat with a different angler about the current video and was discussing about when one of the Carp literally turned 180 and bee lined to the pop up, we reckon it was done off vision and not smell if that makes sense.

I don't understand this presentation, surely fishing this on a hard bottom will dramatically increase blunting your hook when you go to retrieve it?

 

Look at the rig right at end of video ive just put in thread....

Yeah it's not for me, if I wanted it off the bottom I'd use a pop-up rig, but I'm sure it works just like all rigs work in the right situation.  I have 2 rigs that do it all and both are versions of the multi rig.  They want to sell us all sorts of stuff to put a rig together, when you start needing swivels to connect the hook and pointless weights I'm out.

But if I start blanking badly I might revisit lol

The sad thing is some people will buy them no matter how much and yet so easy to make your own. 

Must admit I used the shot on the hook rig years ago but never noticed a real edge with it. 

They'll soon be an underwater film with this rig getting spat out or it will get banned for some reason or another.  

indeed!

its maily the young /inexperined that get suckered into this sort of BS, cos at the end of the day its nothing new, we used it in the 80's, yet in DF video he states its the breakthrough since the hair-rig....what a morron a greedy one at that!

he'll make this in chickland for 5p a pack AND flog to the muppets for a fiver a pack ...thats why the tackle-barrens get rich!

BUT they WON'T be getting my cash lol!!!:mrgreen:

I can honestly say I've never used it.
