pike boom

[bok]

Hi all

 

I watched tight lines on sky friday night and they showed you a rig (leger) with a boom.

The boom was a pop up boom looked a bit like a bodied waggler.

 

does anyone know where these can be bought?

 

cheers

Yep...Fox make them and IIRC they're pretty expensive.....designed primarily for keeping your line off the lake bed.

 

I think with some tubing, swivels glue and cork you could make your own much cheaper

I reckon Neils right but far easier and to my mind more versatile is to simply use a polyball or corkball (more durable) as a ledger stop as shown here-

poly ball, cork ball, are you made of money. wine corks and yes the new fangled plstic things they do work just as well plus you get a lovely warm glow after drinking the wine

 

my current preference is tescos bulgarian merlot at £2.68 a bottle with a clever little cork thats hard plastic outer with a foam interior.

pebbles and duct tape pierce the duct tape then tie a big eff off granny knot tape pebble on and away you go

 

note dont try this if you intend on casting very far as a pebble in the back of the head may cause moderate pain
