The Fundamentals of Carp Fishing with Adam Penning | Part 2: Bottom-Bait Rigs

[@darrenfowler8308]

I personally really enjoy all the films and articles that Adam puts out. Been someone that has inspired and entertained me for more years than I care to mention. One angler I would love to meet one day. 👍

[@jobloggs8021]

Adam is simply the best at tutorials. Gives reasons behind all his decisions which make perfect sense. Thank you Carpology.

[@jamesrussel1133]

Your tutorials are perfectly presented, clear, at the right pace, missing all the ums and errs I know I would annoyingly display trying to do the same thing. Flameproof lighters though…they sound a bit frustrating! Lol 😂 You know despite the Ronnie being maybe the most common rig now, for me you are far better having the bait sliding on filament at the back of the hook on the opposite side of the gape. It sits that side on a Ronnie with a pop up, but that is risky with bottom baits because you never want a bait swinging around to the hook point side, even have the hook point impaling on the bait so the rig is out of action completely. And interesting that you prefer matching bottom baits too. I was lucky enough to own my own carp lake for a number of years when it suddenly occurred to me….hang on everything I throw in gets eaten by them hard on the bottom. So why had I been so obsessed with presenting a stand out bait as a pop up over that food? At night as they munch everything on the bottom, in the dark that glow colour does nothing, and the pop up presentation could well cause foul hooking or spook a wary fish instead of hooking them. Sometimes in a clear water weedy lake there is a point in a pop up visual attractiveness in the day, but at night a bait on the deck is better where there isn’t bottom weed, because that’s where most of their natural feeding takes place. And I can see a logic in thinking pop up baits may well be avoided by the biggest and most wary. Then it was oh yeah my PB common and mirror carp in the U.K. both came from baits hard on the bottom. Daytime fishing where the fish are cruising upper layers that’s different. So maybe for bigger fish hunting, using less common bottom baits is a serious edge….for gods sake why did you go telling everyone? Lol😅

Great Rig, Always a pleasure to listen to Adam no Bullshit,

[@YoSlushi]

I really enjoyed your presentation, however, I couldn't see or zoom in on your actual creation of the rig. Maybe link to a pre filmed (black surface) close up presentation that can be accessed after? It will make it so much easier for us to see. Thanks again for your time 👍

[@hopingowen]

Better close ups in this episode thanks guys 👍

Excellent video as usual adam! Flameproof lighter absaloutely brilliant🤪 keep up the dood work👍

[@daveshaw5293]

Seriously a video about bottom bait rigs lol ,theyve been around since the dinosaurs but gotta love Adam top angler x

[@tomgarrett7567]

It’s all for advertising adams spent the last couple of years claiming soft braid and simple knotless knot rigs are better given everyone’s using scaffolding for hooklinks these days JRC bring out some end tackle now it’s better to use something with the maximum amount of components go figure

[@daveshaw5293]

@@tomgarrett7567 lol I'm all over it !

[@EricPollarrd]

@@tomgarrett7567 scaffolding 😂😂 Personally I don’t like stiff anything, an ordinary fluorocarbon hook link and hair can be sitting rigid across all sorts of shite, rigid hair can sit the hook up and twisted off the bottom

[@gazyates5228]

Not Tried to tie a combi rig in this way before I shall give this one a go, Adam makes it look easy 😉 , great vid , Top Bloke 👍

[@plreeve]

Hi Adam, very interesting. I was getting done a lot at a small lake I fish between Sudbury and Halstead. I ended up going free line as I only go out about 2 rod lengths. I use a braid with a K D knotless knot and a single bottom bait just off the bend. I'm thinking of trying your 3 free baits on a PVA stringer with this rig. I'm wondering about this putty just off the hook, if it would improve the rig but want to keep it free line. A bite normally shows as a slight line tighten and then they go off like an express train. As you said, you don't need a lead to hook them. Would your rig work as a free line set up? Regards Paul.

[@MyDaz1979]

What's stopping the hook section folding back on itself sitting on top of the boom section?

[@SimonHoldsworth-sh4lj]

I have tried this rig. I get some really strong massively aggressive takes but I am failing to hook the fish. The screaming runs are insane but don't result in fish. Any ideas as to what maybe going wrong .

[@YZF_R6_2020]

Also called the "reverse combi-rig"

[@SimonHoldsworth-sh4lj]

I have used this rig and get massive aggressive takes but failing to connect with the fish. The takes are so powerful but I am failing to connect with the fish.

[@clivejohnson9515]

what an informative video! One question; Why do you use a rig ring as opposed to a bait screw? is it personal choice at the end of the day?

[@thomasnelson9804]

Could be due to the potential of a screw damaging the fishes mouth.

[@thomasnelson9804]

@Cymru Carpio I mean there is. I'm not personally of the opinion it is likely enough to warrant not using them however I have read on numerous occasions particularly in lakes where there can be nuisance fish and/or crayfish for example. Whereby the popup is nibbled at enough so that it is a possibility the bait can come off. Especially if recast but then poor angling is to blame.

[@thomasnelson9804]

As you've said you used the right type of screw for the bait you're using. You can get some anglers who'll use a short metal screw in relatively soft baits and not know they are making a mistake.

[@martindpalmer3565]

How long do you make the boom maximum of 6 inches or longer

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

I’ve got all the bits to make this for a change, can I use a micro swivel instead of ring? Would that work? I’m into my bottom baits, might go as far as a wafter, rarely do I see the need for a pop up, snowman ect, all seems a bit loud. Anyway it’s a banger, can’t wait to tie this up 👍

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

yes

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

@Cymru Carpio yeah I was thinking that with a bit more putty that would make a half decent pop up rig, nice one, cheers mate 👍

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

@Cymru Carpio that’s my mission tonight in front of tv with a beer! Standard Sunday evening 👍

[@thecowboycarper]

Just like to add….. you dont need to whip around 8 to 9 times for an albrighten knot. 4 up 3 down is more than enough and the knot is smaller and tidy 👍

[@sketch1985]

What do you do for a living?

[@thecowboycarper]

@@sketch1985 aye?

[@thecowboycarper]

@@sketch1985 im just adding a comment on theres no need to whip that many times if you want a smaller knotted Albrighton and im asked what i do for a living???

[@johnwest3109]

Why not use this rig with the multi rig so you can change the hook ? . Like in your other video

[@liammarum77]

A flame proof lighter lol 😆

[@dwaynesmith9489]

Reverse combi rig

[@KevRoulson]

👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@danjones1026]

All these so called pro anglers all speak the same language. Carp fishing is so clichéd its putting me off fishing.

Hideous looking rig
