Very well presented video thank you. Can i ask if using a wafter or bottom bait with foam round the hook does it matter how far the top bead is slid up. As the hooklength would just naturally fall on top of silt or weed? I can understand bead would affect a pop up bait Sorry for newbie question
Hi Drew, this is absolutely an option and an approach we've used multiple times successfully. If the situation doesn't support the approach we've outlined here (e.g. if you're getting ravaged by catfish) a PVA mesh bag on a heli rig is a great option!
Excellent video mate and very informative about the pros and cons of silt fishing cheers tightlines

Sorry for newbie question
Why not use a small pva mesh bag on the heli system?

@@bad.angling would a pva bag be okay on a lead clip system as well with a longer rig, I’ve saw anglers such as Ian chilcott using that set up.
@@bad.angling thanks for the response also.
I exclusively fish helicopters and pva bags don't work with the mechanics of a helicopter rig. They don't cast well.
@@ScottToomeyy but other than the cast, they present well?
