[sam_l]

i am planning on fishing a new lake that i have visited once but never fished.Ino the average weight is around 7-9lb and sweetcorn and meat works well aswell as surface fishing, what rig would u recommend (not for the surface fishing)???

Try & keep it simple use a standard hair rig but try to find a hook lenght material thats blends in well with the lake bottom..................hope this helps, welcome to the forum

simple knotless knot rig works most places and is easy to tie.

cheers,just a simple lead clip as well would you think. Wot hooklink would you recomend the water is pretty coloured but its like green/clearish,if you no what i mean.

[Guest Anonymous]

Got green fleck in it, I use it in most situations as I have confidence in it, great stuff

[sam_l]

which hooklink materiel would u recomend then oldgit

[Guest Anonymous]

my favourite is Kryston mantis u can get it in green or gold, bit expensive about 12 quid a spool but it will last ages

[sam_l]

ive herd someone else recomend me that i think i mite give that ago.

 

i was thinking about using enterprise sinking maize as there is a large variety of small fish.wot would you recomend i use as a pva bag mix

... bearing in mind that there is no pellets,boilies,groundbait,particles ... but bread crumb is allowed???

[Guest Anonymous]

put what you want in a pva bag mate, they cant check it!

 

hemp is a good attractor but will attract small fish, mixed sized pellets are good as they break down at different rates.

if your going to use maize on the hair, I cant see them having a problem with u using it in a bag thats what I would do, just remember to dry it off first

[sam_l]

yeh i just thought about that once i had said it they cant reali check , but id have to maybe keep them in my bait cooler shut or sumthing wouldnt i.

[Guest Anonymous]

yeah i'd do that, i bet every1 else does!

Hi Sam, and welcome.

 

Hooklinks materiall I have found Mantis is very good, because of the outer coating it is quite Tangle free, but of you want a green Flecked Braid have a look at Merlin as well.

 

I keep quite a few secret baits hidden in the Tackle Box.

BFM Boilie sausages that look like peperami, complete with Peperami wrapper around it:cool:

 

Also try the real peperami, that will catch carp and is fairly small fish resistant, just don't eat it all yourself.

 

If you put sweetcorn in as a freebie, use Maize on the hook to put off smaller fish.

 

And I don't ever advocate Breaking Rules.

 

[Guest Anonymous]

yeah right :D

[salokcinnodrog]

I'm past all that, honest!

I've left my Rule Breaking days behind me, besides No Rules that strict on my water at the moment. (Thats probably closer to the Truth)
