| looking for a rig design hi guys im looking for a rig wich allows you to pop up a dead bait on a river but also using a float i gave floating a dead bait yesterday but it kept drifting into the reeds and snags so im looking for a rig that will allow me to float fish a popped up bait close to the opposite bank without the rig drifting down the river. i dont have bite alarms as just getting into it they will come next month so a float seems to be the way forward for now. i just want the bait to stay in 1 place so i can do other bits and bobs while waiting for a run. anyone help? gaz     |

| Re: looking for a rig design my fav rig on the river is a float / leger paternoster. Fishing the deadbait about 20" off the bottom. Search google images for pike float paternoster. |
