Nowt wrong with flattie bashing mate. There is not much finer than a plate of fat little autumn dabpulley
up n over
thats ya lot
never had any issues ref hook ups etc with either
and i havnt used something as ridiculous as flappers since my days flatty bashing on the south coast 25 yrs ago
if, and a big if im down south and fancy a crack at the spikey silver sea rats, it would be a 4 ft running ledger with half a macky strapped to a pair of big fk off hooks n lobbed a couple of rod lengths out
They work well enough but I find they tangle a lot in the surf so I don’t use them much.I must say, I do find it strange this preoccupation with running legers for bass but hey ho.......
Very true mate, it’s a disease that’s truly infected carp fishing, you would think they are uncatchable unless you spend £50 on the latest spinner/boomed link double flipping hair extender rig… it’s a marketing tool, unless your rig is made up like a Christmas tree, you’ll struggle. Obviously, the right bait, in the right place on an appropriate rig will catch the fish. Location and bait is the key, a fancy pants rig with £50 worth of bling and accessories won’t catch a fish in empty water, but a fresh bait on a simple rig presented under the nose of a fish will.What you will find is there’s an awful lot of bullshit written where rigs are concerned. I blame Sea Angler magazine.
John Holden once wrote that just because a rig looks good on your living room carpet, that doesn’t mean that’s what it looks like on the seabed.
Simplicity is the key.
Fixed for me. They hang themselves against the weight of the lead. Bass are one of the easiest fish to catch. I really don’t get the mystery surrounding them.I must say, I do find it strange this preoccupation with running legers for bass but hey ho.......
