Aqua Andy banks the 'Woodcarving'
Posted in Catch Reports on 08th November 2011Aqua Products manager Andy Cadwallader has been doing a limited amount of time on the famous Horton complex where the carp obviously recognise a good food bait when they see one! Using the reliable B5 his efforts were rewarded recently when he banked one of the country's finest looking carp - the one and only 'Woodcarving' at a weight of 35lbs. They don't get much better than that one - congratulations Andy - now go back to work and continue making the best range of bivvies and luggage ever produced...
Cork ball advantages
Although we provide cork dust pop-ups, we also appreciate that some customers prefer cork ball pop-ups and I think that it's generally accepted that cork ball pop-ups are the best method for long term buoyancy. This can be particularly advantageous for many modern day rigs such as chod rigs and Hinged Stiff-rigs. These clever little packs allow anglers to create their own cork ball pop-ups with little effort. You can also regulate the amount of paste you use to make them more buoyant or turn them into slow sinkers.
Top tip
If you are having problems with diving birds or nuisance fish, you can combat this by 'meshing up'. The best method we have seen to do this is to cut a small section of tights (we recommend you get your missus's permission first!). Wrap the pop-up in the fine mesh, pull tight, tie off with floss, 'blob' the excess with a lighter and away you go.
