Select several of your favourite or proven pop ups. The Mainline Hi-Viz range gives you ample choice by providing a selection of vibrant colours and incredibly attractive flavours.
Select the centre disc which you want to use. I prefer to use contrasting colours as I believe they are more visible in the murky depths. The number of discs that you use is entirely up to you but I have had most success on either 3 or 4.
Using a 5mm drill bit, create a hole in the bottom disc or if you intend to use 4 discs use a 6mm drill bit as you will need a slightly larger hole.
Note the sinker on the hair also, this has numerous uses and can create some great presentation effects. For a KD style presentation you will need to pinch a shot on the hair and slide it up into the hole created in the bottom disc. For a 3 disc presentation you will need a AB shot, for a 4 disc presentation you will need a AAA.

Using up the domed end cuts can create another sneaky little presentation which I call the Vizdom Rig. Simply slice the top quarter off you chosen Mainline bottom bait.
The Vizdom Rig: Replace the missing piece with one of the Hi Viz dome pieces, not only does this give the bottom bait a flash of attractive colour and flavour but it also adds buoyancy in the right place. Once taken by a fish the bait will suspend with the hook hanging below optimising the chances of the hook catching.

I guess I really became serious about big carp fishing in the early eighties. Fishing local day ticked waters I became fixated with the visions of large rubbery lips sucking bits of crust delicately from the surface. The challenge of successfully fooling one of those then monsters into sucking in... Find out more
