Is this what you put all into a PVA Bag ?

@Higham1987

Yes Mate. I put the hook through the corner of the bag and drop the lead in the opposite corner, then fill with pellet mix. I then tease the lead up so it's at the top of the bag, then lick and stick the bag shut. 

 

I deleted mine and Elmo's posts arguing, it was childish, on both sides.

I'll be setting up like this, but 1 rig will be a standard hair rig, but with a bait screw instead.

Combination of both ronnie and multi 

I knew I’d seen it before but it wasn’t by jimmy

I think i might have a play with this rig, i really like the idea of it and being able to just pop a new fresh hook on an existing rig appeals

Same with a spinner/ronnie, use a line aligner or a kicker, just slip nit back take off old hook, replace with new hook 👍👍

Managed to tie a slip D rig pretty much same as the Mike holly rig, things have changed since i last carp fished lol

I've quit on slip D rigs😂

1 bite, one loss, my rods now all have classic spinners on again. 😎

You can't shortcut rig confidence. I've moved and I'm in the right zone, come on the chunky ones. 

I'm not happy with the slip d multi style either now after a little trial.  Land a fish and the kicker is off so if you were to get done the rig is left useless IMO plus the impact of the lead is lessened if the hook is able to move.  Don't like the faff of steaming shrink tube so not going there.

I've continued with the slip D but just tied standard style last trip, but working on a version using the hook clip now but the kickers are not made specifically for them yet, best so far the Gardner Tungsten XL but still not easy to get over the clip, work in progress.  Nash ones supposed to be good but no stock.

Yes I did say pointless hook clips previously lol

I'm fighting with the concept of changing hooks which is great but not if the finished rig isn't as good as one tied standard style, saving materials is not really that important in the grand scheme, I like tying rigs anyway and adapting as I go so this new interest in changing hooks needs putting right down the priorities list for me.

Was also using funnel web bags last trip which you cant with a multi and I loved using them, was a blast from the past and something I'm gonna use regularly this year.

What you just said makes me think deep down you want to try my spinner rig and that's fine it really is pretty great 😎. Avid d rig kicker (best d rig kicker) , spinner swivel, whatever boom you fancy, korda balancing weights for pop ups, quick hook changing, similar hookbait seperation, much less faff and comes tried and tested by me 💪

Also if you are thinking of mesh bags you also need the double "beep" shock rig, I think it's a winner 😂

Good luck with whatever you choose though.

Might take you up on the Elmo rig, sounds banging!

Became obvious on last 2 trips to Kingy that my trusty pop-up rigs were not getting touched, whereas wafters were, then on the first trip realised I needed to be back on the funnel web, so another prob to solve, which I think gets the best out of me Tbh

Both trips I was doing rig and lead system trials side by side, loved it, more to come.

My initail stiff rig multi trials were going very well for hooking but then the sods used the semi fixed lead to shake it after dropping back, crafty, but I knew that before I arrived, just wasnt expecting it quite so much in Dec.

Must have been done on dropbacks at least 6 times over the 7 nights in total and they're the fish you're there for not the stockies who know no better than pick it up and run.

By the last night I had 3 matching wafter slip d's, short like 4-5 inch and running lead clips but sadly no activity for the last 48 hours so didnt know if I'd sorted the issues or not, but really I think I had but long wait to test again down there, Dec 2025 🤷‍♂️

My spinner rig does work with wafters, the d rig kickers lend themselves pretty well to a wafting hookbait, I do think the the double B shock rig, might be effective for stopping them being able to get away with it, next time I go I will be using it, and with a pva bag clip on the swivel would make a decent little trap.if you want some decent bulk PVA mesh these are good.
