WORKING THE WATER COLUMN

If the fish are high in the water a trimmed Mini Micro pop-up makes the perfect Zig Rig hookbait

Making a simple sloppy spod mix from Groundbait can add attraction to the upper layers

Raised lakebed features are great spots for adding a little bait

RIGS

Simple and strong with plenty of attraction!

01 These are all the things you will need to make up these high-attract PVA Sticks.

02 Start off by adding some of the Stick & Bag Mix to an empty tub or small bucket.

03 Containing several sized pellets some Spod & PVA Pellet mix goes in next.

04 The next step is to add some Cell boilies crushed down to a boilie crumb like so.

05 Time for some liquid attraction now and a good squirt of Particle & Pellet Syrup.

07 To form the Sticks add some of the mix to a PVA funnel web system like this.

08 Use the plunger to compact the mix like so and tie off with an Overhand Knot.

09 Tie a second Overhand Knot ready for the next Stick and cut between the two.

10 Thread a long latch needle through the PVA Stick next ready to go onto the rig.

11 12mm (Cell) Balanced Wafters forms a superb hookbait for the PVA Stick Rig.

12 Carefully pull the hook point into the Stick to mask it and the rig is ready to go!

ATTRACTION AND PULLING POWER

I like to glug my presentation just before casting out for a boost of liquid attraction!

A few boilies and a little pellet give a slow, steady release of attraction

SUMMARY

Bite attracted!
