Guest cairngorm Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 What is the best pop-up rig for a gravel bottom. Or is there no point using a pop-up. Thanks Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Like I said in a previous thread just down the page , if you are fishing a bed of bait then you don't want a pop-up, you want your hookbait at the same level as the rest of your bait. If you are fishing a Food Source boilie in an area of baits then you may want to have your bait the same level as the freebies, in other words on the bottom. Or you may want to have it popped up slightly in the hope that it will get taken first, or you may need to have it critically balanced, so that the carp sucks it the same as the freebies, and the hookbait shoots into the mouth. Beware that pop-ups and critically balanced baits can start to work against you in the Food source baits. As for a Hi-Attract pop-up, you don't have to have a different rig from your bottom baits, just either tie a piece of power gum at the height you want it off the bottom and cover it with putty, or do the same with shot. As for other pop-up rigs LOOK AT THE STICKY AT THE TOP OF THE SECTION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
