rig problems

[jonjo]

Ok sorry for the really noobie problem. Cause ive blanked on every trip ive had (blanked carp anyways seems to have a natural attraction to bream for some reason). Anyways Ive gone for a different approch, not being a massive fan of pop ups rigs i thought i would give them a go. But with the hooks i use i cant put the line back through the eye when attaching the hook. the eye not large enough. Does any body have any idea what im doing wrong. Im using drenan specialist hooks and 12lb suffok steath

change ya hooks try this it may help..... Im going through a spell of not catchin also, sometimes its just like that, the suns out and the carp about to start spawning (im glad they are cuz i aint lol). Now is time for a good old zig rig wth a doggy or popup. thr fruit is in bloom so fruity flavours will do the job... Your time will come...

TBH Iv spoke to this guy and met him face to face and you'll definatley inprove to catch and you will start to catch fish... a small fee will bring you much more satisfaction and improve your angling umensley...

Ohh god Gemo! I hope you not talking about that Ian bloke, all he does is catch 2lbers

Only joking mate

I would defiantly recommend a day out with Gemo... You will learn so much

When I was young I took a lesson and I can honestly say my catch rate improved tenfold...

I switched to leadcore leaders and have never gone back since... that how much it helped

E.S.P stiff riggers will help with this problem mate.
