One LAST thing lads I promise and then I'll stop being a noddy!

Do you all ‘feel for the drop?' I get it is important to know what you are fishing over and generally I know my club waters pretty well. Am I at any advantage, trying to feel the bag down to the lake bed?

Merry Christmas to All and a Carpy New Year

I always try to feel for a drop with a bag this can be hard sometimes I find if you pierce the bag just a couple times it takes most the air out of the bag and you get a much better drop.

You don't always need to worry tho because unless it's over very thick high weed most of the time you will be fine and presented anyway

I still try to feel for a drop and find a well packed tight bag will greatly help you in doing that!

Depends what I'm fishing over.
Solid bags will work fine on silt or low silkweed, but you won't get a drop.
So having leaded around with a bare lead and can't find a hard spot, don't pierce the bag, let it sink slowly
then it will rest on top of the silt or silkweed.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
