The ring won't sit by the eye on a cast at all. I use a ring for a blowback rig and never had the tangles some say happen . Silicone doesn't make it a blowback rig imo

The ring won't sit by the eye on a cast at all - correct.
It might do when it hits the lake bed though, because it has that movement - which is where it matters.
You can be safe in your knowledge the silicon wont move on the cast or when it hits the bottom

No because your lead will be dragging the whole lot down and the hookbait acting like a parachute keeping everything where it should be. A true blowback rig has a ring . The silicone restricts movement. It's not a blowback rig with silicone

To my mind using silicone makes it a claw rig which is fine for a bottom bait. I use a ring and generally with a balanced snowman or a wafter. . I do use foam especially with a longer hair. I'm confident this resets and I usually use a combi rig if the substrate is appropriate.

For those interested in the ring vs silicon debate I would recommend Carp Cast 66 with Roger Bacon and Kevin Nash.

All great until the lead hits the deck, which will in turn propel the lighter hookbait towards the lead potentially leaving the ring round the eye. You understand that?
I get interpretations of the definition of blowback rig are different.

Sorry but that's nonsense

I'd doubt it - there's still plenty of momentum on the hooklink \ bait.

This is why it isn't a blowback rig.
It's a blow back-and-forth rig.
Resetting completely defeats the whole reason this rig was invented.

I get what you're saying as the original blow back used a big ring that was designed to travel over the eye of hook , I think the term ‘blowback rig' is more widely used for the latter more modern smaller ringed rig of today , obviously it has been tweaked .
