pole float rigs

[ian mckay]

hi fellow anglers,,i have trouble tieing my hooks on and my bottom to my main line,,im thinking of buying some already made pole rigs,,would you recomend any or am i best making my own

Some are good some are bad,the big problem is you dont know which are which untill its too late.Make your own.Take your time sat at home making them up.

milo make a good rig,as do drennan.Trouble is,a lot of them are made to 5 meters,which isnt that good really.

What's the problem with tying the hooks? You can get hook tiers for spade end hooks, and if I can tie an 18 hook (I am in my 60's) so should you be able. Do your own, they are cheaper, better made and more reliable.

i cant tie hooks, i always **** it up

Just keep on trying and you will get the hang of it.

I always think making your own rigs at home is part of angling.

I have sat for hours tying pole rigs, carp rigs and sea rigs.

The only time I buy a ready tied is if it is a new rig TO COPY!!!!!!!!

I would suggest that you look at the thread "tying hooks the right way" on this forum.
