"O" Ring Pellet Rig
by Dennis Darkin
|
"O" rings, 10mm diameter. Hook, no 8 Sedge. Shot no 4 Hooklink, 12lb BS Herculine micro |
|

Same setup but loaded with Ming oil pellets. Don't worry about the pellets coming off, they won't. It is quite possible to catch more than one fish without rebaiting. |

Tie the end O ring on first, then the next and then use the 'No knot' knot to tie the hook. The shot is only to keep the pellet away from the hook. I use long hook links with this setup and it catch's chub as well, by long I mean at least 2 foot, preferably longer if you can cast it ok. The addition of a couple more shot spaced along the hook link can make a huge difference sometimes, I started to do this when I noticed the bait lift off the bottom in shallow swims and there have been several occasions when I have fished without the shot and been biteless, and then caught soon after adding them. |
