[billsgonefishing]

YES

 

Or I know that there is a pic here, just be using the Knotless knot pic it can be adapted for counterbalancing.

 

Plus also some of my rigs get very finely counterbalanced (or overweighted)

Yes

 

Or bellow the bait on the hair,

 

or just on a straight forward pop up rig so that the hook is still suspended with the bait, but its only just held down on the deck by the tungsten putty (rather than a shot).

i bore out a little hole in bottom of pop-up, then put blob of tungston putty on hair, slide pop-up down, put on hair/boilie stop, then push putty inside cavity in boilie, neat and critically balanced easily.

And thats coming from someone who thought i was not giving out sensible advice by recommending using pop ups as bottom baits.

 

But then again, what do i know eh?

[southend30]

Its called a critically balanced pop-up NOT a bottom bait OK thought i would run it by you if ok
