Guest Anonymous Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I allways try & keep things as simple as possible with rigs standard chair rig, but i do concentrate a lot on presentation ie advoiding to much weed pinning line down etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 what rigs do you feel most confidence in, complicated or simple? what situations would you use a complicated rig or a simple rig? give us your opinions, and have a discusion I've never used complicated rigs and don't think I would have caught any more fish if I had of done! I'm sure fish must swim up to most of the so called 'super rigs' take one look at them then swim off laughing:D There just to catch the anglers not the fish, they have to print something in magazines;) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trees Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Once tried the Withy Pool rig on a popup... had a few runs and all fish were never hooked... now generally stick to simple rigs, line aligners the most complicated I sometimes use is a 360 swivel rig for popups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
london_geeza Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Once tried the Withy Pool rig on a popup... had a few runs and all fish were never hooked... now generally stick to simple rigs, line aligners the most complicated I sometimes use is a 360 swivel rig for popups exactly the same as my fishing there then mate. 360 rig for around 75% of my pop up rigs, standard hair rig for bottom baits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvodkaman Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Once tried the Withy Pool rig on a popup... had a few runs and all fish were never hooked... now generally stick to simple rigs, line aligners the most complicated I sometimes use is a 360 swivel rig for popups have to say i have used the withy pool rig for years and i cant remember the last time the carp was not hooked slap bang in the middle of the bottom rig. mind you a would not class it as a complicated rig , hook and shrink tube very simple.
