Sorted myself out a cobb premier gas.

Silly expensive but let's not mess about, there is no mess, and you can cook anything to perfection.

I bought 1m metre of red electrical shrink tube for £1.50 on ebay.

I use it with red mags, it looks decent in clear water.

Do i think it matters. Probably not.
Does it do any harm. No.

Wise words those.

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.

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

I dont understand how a ring is going to reset all the time? It can reset but, would it as often as people think, even on a cast there is nothing to stop the ring sitting by the eye.

Tubing all the way for me and one of the 2 main rigs I use.

If you look and see how big a fine wire 16 treble is, you would see the potential for any unintentional mouth damage is seriously low.

Openly shown this to multiple syndicate leaders over the years none of which decline its use - should have expected the general carper to jump down its throat though so maybe should have kept it to myself.

Apologies.

Make sure you read the fishery rules first kids

Just chucking this out there, I use a size 16 fine wire barbless treble (ebay) - 2 mags on each hook and pulled into the foam/boilie.

Eliminates the threading faff.
