Ever wondered how to present watery liquid attractors around a hookbait? Liquidised particles? Daphnia?……..
It started off last year when I was fishing into silkweed with particles. Everyone else was piling them in, and results were starting to slow, and I wanted to try something a little different. PVA bags was one answer, but I wanted a little more attraction around the hookbait, and the bags would melt as liquidised particles was my chosen attractor.
STEP 1: tie up your rig. This is a size 10 Kamasan B175 to Kryston Snakebite with a single mini tiger nut as bait.
STEP 2: cook your particles – this is red band with a few tigers and maize. I also add some sugar.
STEPS 3, 4 & 5: liquidise the lot! Make it as coarse/smooth as you like – put the hook(s) into an ice cube tray and cover with the liquidised particles – freeze it!
Leave overnight, and take with you to the lake in a thermos (obviously limits you a bit to day trips). Simply tie a rig on, and cast out. Initially, the bait will float, but will slowly melt, leaving a mist of attractors and allowing the hookbait to settle slowly onto the top of any weed, surrounded by loads of little bits. Lovely!
About the Rigs Page
The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will be useful to both beginners and experienced anglers.
The rigs can be extremely simple and well known, or very complicated and little known, it doesn’t matter providing they make some kind of sense and have a really practical application.
It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate seeing in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the experienced carp angler would like to see.
If you wish to contribute a rig to this section please remember that the emphasis is on illustration rather than words. Good line drawings are fine in the absence of photographs. Please send to editor@fishingmagic.com
