Which Rotten Bottom?

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

We've asked Dean to elaborate further about the pin method. He tells us that nowadays he ties it to the link with a short piece of mono so it isn't lost and can be re-used every cast :-)

How does he tie it to the link?

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

@@Skye-5039 Dean uses a blood knot to fasten the weak link to the pin just above the foam and the other end is tied to the clip at the bottom of the rig.

Brilliant mate last seen one of your videos I asked you about the bits of fone. now I can see it how you are doing it. Thanks m

[@benthemulleteer]

Great vid! Everything explained really well

[@karlnewbold]

This video would be good if you showed exactly how to make and use the pin and foam clip.

[@allanrogerson4585]

Good to know what link works, saves a lot of mothering.

[@Meirion658]

What oval clips is he using please? Do you stock them?

[@catch-halibut22]

Hi Dean, where do you tie the nylon onto. I use Trident Kickers, I take it you tie onto this? thanks

[@StarfishSeaFishing]

another good informative vid Dean foam and pin is way safer to cast as well

Ironically I’ve been trying the veal’s rotten bottom clips and I would say 7/10 times my lead comes back still clipped up 🤷🏻‍♂️. I have sheets of 10mm HD foam and no shortage of panel pins so I’ll try a session on either the spit or Knap and see the results. I agree about the upside down clip or anything else that needs slack line / they are just not reliable enough .. I had decent knocks on the ledges and also over sand point and was stuck fast almost all of end time . It’s all food for thought 👌

Does the pin just get lost in the sea?

[@VealsMailOrder2898]

No- the pin is tied to the rig with a short length of mono

upside down gemini

[@richardjones2811]

With regards to the Gemini Genie Breaker you can get the bait tucked in close to the lead by using a Breakaway Impact Lead.

[@geoffdavies2027]

Where is the pin going through please

[@steveblack1971]

The pin goes through the eye of the lead (The loop ) and then through an oval link that is tied to the weak mono ..

[@chrisgosling6129]

If u tie the pin to your weight with light line you will get your pon n foam bk. 😉
