salokcinnodrog Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Been playing around while thinking about the problems I've been having. I may have come up with something original using a hair rig, rig ring, a double bait system, a bottom and a surface bait. I'm trying it tomorrrow night, so I will let you know the results of the All New, All singing and dancing "Mushroom rig" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevtaylor Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Is this a claw rig nick - the same as I always use? I can only think that you've got a balanced snowman with half pop-up (facing down) and a tube shaped bottom bait threaded onto the hair lengthways. You've done me TBH! I could see what I've come up with as being harder to blowback- but I'm sure your idea is probably nothig like what I'm imagining - look forward to your return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Brian has seen a pic (rig in my hand) and tried tying some up to play with. I do know that the first fish I hooked on the rig was landed, and hooked very squarely centre of the bottom lip. Shows that my thinking may well be right on what I'm trying to achieve. May only have been another 8lb Common, but its more than has been coming out of the lake recently.

I'm thinking it could be a dumbell shaped bottom bait topped with a larger popup making it look like a mushroom Its caught one so far so it obviously works to an extent, i'm intrigued to actually know exactly what and how it may work Hope your not still holding out on us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think outside the box. It is nothing to do with the bait being tipped off with a whole or half a pop-up. I said it is a double bait system, that doesn't mean that 2 baits go on together. It is a different presentation so that I can use a bottom bait and keep the hookpoint away from the bottom debris Course I am holding out!

igwyana Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Course I am holding out! Grrrr Thinking outside the box i have trouble with Anyway i'm sure you'll reveal all to your beloved forum members soon enough ADDED --- Now i'm thinking a bottom bait on hair the normal way and a popup tied to the curve of the hook towards the point to hold hook off bottom But hey i know nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I've pretty much used the same style rigs for over 15years. Basic Braided Knotless knotted or Line aligned. The most I have seemed to change is rig length or hair length, and some of mine probably aren't that tidy It's only down to the lakebed that I've had to work hard to think up a "different" presentation to keep the hook point clear of the bottom due to a couple of hookpulls. I wanted a presentation that would lift the hookpoint up, yet allow me to fish with a bottom bait. I had tried a "reverse" snowman, with the Pop-up nearest the hook, but they will not touch a (flavoured) pop-up. This way I have the 2bottom baits (I was using a 18 and 15mm bait on the hair) on the lakebed (obviously ), and also a (neutral) pop-up high up the bend lifting the hookpoint clear. It actually may give me another advantage, in that the Carp don't expect that whichever they take, the pop-up or bottom bait(s) may have a hook in it.

x_booker_x Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 is it a cork plug that you drill 3/4 of the way trough and the have the end sticking out the end if the bait. The rig ring would be on the hook because it would the sit up like a wafter as the bait would be naturally balaced.???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
