very good point frank, ive been using the fox weights for while now on my withy pool rigs, but im going to step up the size, as that makes a lot of sense
I do this for over 2 years already! with a light 0.2 gram shot on the hook to finish the rig! It makes it turns soooo fast in the lip, the fish shoot away directly and is hooked by the lead..
Hi Frank did some feeder fishing yesterday at a match venue and got me thinking about your book and method feeders. Such a deviating tactic for a number of reasons but doesn't get used for 'big' carp fishing at all these days. I'll be dusting of the method feeders for the season ahead.
I always overshot my pop ups, so they drop quick. Fished a lake years ago, when critically balanced baits were all the rage & kept getting twitches & dropped runs. So over shotted with an ssg shot. Next takes were real flyers. Think the carp pick up the bait, then try to spit it. But it drops & pricks them in the bottom lip before they can.
Only got to watch the Underfishing channel to see how often fish have your bait in their mouths and spit it out Willy nilly and the hook doesn’t come within 5mm of it’s flesh, zero bleeps on the bank. But what about Frank’s shot on the hair rig? Very short rigs work also though. Probably the same principal.
So anyways I've been using these recently and I have to say my aborted takes have reduced a somewhat decent amount. Def feel I've banked more fish and some real sick hook holds. So much so that I'm now flattening the barbs off a touch cuz they're TOO well hooked D:
If Frank speaks you listen👍
Frank is probably one of the best innovators in carp fishing and a great bloke as well.
I have often thought about this problem, carp reject rigs more often than get hooked by them.. Total sense from an absolute legend!
Awesome something to watch on Sunday morning

Try a pole anglers olivette!

A method feeder is not complicated enough for the average Carper!!
I catch a lot of mid and low 20’s on the method. It’s a far less complicated solid bag.

Been doing this for years, never bothered balancing, just use a swan shot no matter what my hook bait.
Wise words mate 😊

Drennan inline Olivettes Could be used and easily available
Don’t give all the edges away Frank 😉
You'll have to post a link to them frank, can't find them
Would this rig be safe in the event of a crack off (mainline parting)?
Interesting
i also cant find them on ebay... what make are the Frank?
PB Products Downforce Tungsten Contra Liners
Just get Fox quick change pop up weights, I use the swan shot size
Do Prologic sell those weights?
PB Products Downforce Tungsten Contra Liners

I remember Adam Penning doing something similar years ago..... interesting.
Just fish pop up straight off the lead. Bang theyre nailed!
A link would help

Frank have you watched the underfishing channel
I'd like to give this a go. Trouble is for the life of me I can't find any 3g droppers. If anyone knows where I can get some please let me know.
PB product do the droppers mate 🎣
Frank talking common sense as usual
Won't it tangle whit a long cast +100 meters
Why not fish a pop-up straight off the lead?
Сколько грамм надо цеплять на поводок???¿???
Im Dying 2try this 🤣

Yeah but what about a 1/8 oz split shot..
Same. I like a decent weight under a pop up as well as the lead, sod this 'critically balanced' crap 👍
Don’t use this rig in the lake bed is weedy.
No thanks, £10 for 6.
Secret? Fish like this for more than 20 years.
I thought the secret was just for men..
Might need some more putty
