Spice Up Your Bait and Fishing a Little and Alter Your Presentation.
Ever fancied making some red coloured, strawberry flavoured sweetcorn. Or how about some tandoori luncheon meat. Have you ever tried hair rigging corn or meat? Altering the way your bait is presented can make a big difference to your catch rates. Check out the bait links on the left for more information.
How to Tie a Hair Rig and Set Up a Swimfeeder.
Tying a hair rig is that easy, once you know how you can do it with your eyes closed. In the right circumstances it can make a big difference to your catch rates and you don't have to use it just for carp. You don't need special braid, ordinary fishing line off the reel will do.
If your not quite sure how to set up a swimfeeder or ledger, have a look at the ledgering pages. Ledgering was once regarded as a crude method of fishing. Thanks to advances in technique it is now some peoples preferred method.
If your not sure what a "drop back" is and why you need to be able to see them, have a look at the animations in the ledgering section.
