Popped up maggots.

Hi men ,

Jason , iv tried many maggot rigs , clips are convenient, but the best by miles is red rig foam on the hair , cut into a sort of pyrimid shape , and the nice flat end covered with red maggots that have had their bums dipped into superglue and placed on the foam . The maggots last much longer as they have not been pierced , and you can add as many or as little to achieve popup or balanced presentation, if i can get away with it i like them on the bottom .

It's Luton, you can get away with anything.:eek:
Btw congratulations on your impending promotion to the Championship.:)
 
All very quiet after 6 hours.:(

Foam hair rigged mags on hook.

If I had had a tap and missed something I might have changed something. Said it was v hard.
 
I have tried the magaligner... love it of Barbel. Not been used on tench though.
Popped up Maggots worked great today. Size 14 Kamasan animal with hair rigged rig foam, maggots glued on with Gorilla super glue. Thanks mark for this. 9 Tench and a Bream.. top result imo.

My trouble was I could only fish a swim 4ft deep with 2ft weed.

Football every reel in!

My other swim was pre baited up for the other angler that can fish there.

I popped there in the way back.

Four carp cruised by in 10 mins est 20-25lb. Small for there. As I have had 5 over 35lb topped with a 38.
Only phone pic.

Hi Steve, the QM1s are quite thin wire aren’t they - they’re a great hook but I had one open a bit with a large Bream last year, have you had any problems with them?

No problems with tench to 7+ and barbel to 8+, great hooking power and they don't seem to move whereas the MWG often fall out in the net. Not lost any fish so far this year but that worried me hence the change of pattern.
 
Cliff,
I use this technique for tench and crucians. You will get taps from silver's, but sit on your hands till you get a good bite.
