I thought it an interesting video but it reinforced what I have found in
my
garden pond, basically on hard surface pop-ups on not taken my most fish.
I have found that neutrallly boyant baits are the best, I make my own with
a
good quality base mix but with 30% popup mix added. This creates a bait
that sits on the bottom but will move around as do free offerings. I am
surprised that bait manufacturers havn't done this or have I just missed
something.

Hi Bob et al,

I thought the way tench ejected/rejected baits once they increased the size
_numerous times_ without even registering movement at the rod was
fascinating. They were definitely picking them up time and time again.

I thought the way some rigs appeared to spook carp more was interesting
...... the idea that carp can mop up all the groundbait and freebie hook
baits but leave the actual hookbait was cool Imo.

Solar have released a video of their (and others) experience fishing Redmire
Pool re different approaches, rigs and baiting profiles over the last few
years. That is interesting too ..... particularly when you see some of the
underwater shots in the Korda release.

BTW ... you can make your boilie critically balanced quite easily. You can
by small kits ('drill/extractor' and different colour foam) which allows you
to achieve this very readily.

Cheers ...... Richard
