The best pole rig for fishing with chopped worms

By Gofishing.co.uk Pole rigs 11 December 2007 16 :21 This simple pole rig is perfect for fishing with chopped worm for a number of reasons - it's stable so the bait remains still, it pushes the bait to the bottom quickly to avoid smaller bait -snatching fish, and it is perfect for lifting and lowering the bait to entice a bait . A A rounded or body-down pole float is ideal for this rig. They can be held back against any surface tow well, in windy conditions. B Always attach your pole float using three silicone strips of tubing to ensure it does not slide along the line. C Mainlines and hooklengths for this rig should be quite strong as you may encounter tench or carp when fishing with chopped worm. A mainline of 0.14 mm tied to a 0.12 mm hooklength will suffice. D Using an olivette around 10 in from the bottom will ensure that the bait is forced through the depths quickly, straight past any smaller fish that may snatch at the bait as it drops. Olivettes also help steady the rig in adverse conditions. E Use two dropper shot equallyspaced between the olivette and the hook. No8 or No10 shot are ideal for this as they are light enough to provide a slow, gentle and natural drop of the bait through the final 20 inches of water. F Fish your bait around 3- 5in overdepth, and remember to use a strong hook. One of the best for chopped worm fishing is a Kamsan B711.
