If you actualy watch the lads YouTube who do the underwater filming you will see the magic twig does not even trigger when the carp picks up the bait and shakes its head.
I find it hard to belive that the 1inch bit of elastic that's inside will even set the hook the only thing I can see this doing is giving it abit of stretch when playing the fish. Nothing the nash trigger link can't do.
Sharp hooks and heavy leads is the way forward
From what I can tell its just good marketing to catch the angler not the fish.

I fish in 60ft of water using adjustable zigs and catch plenty on them the key is to watch how the fish are showing and fish zigs when they are eating a hatch of fly.
And pick the rod up for and beep you get as there's next to no indication
Don't be scared to fish the deeper water on the deck either ino lads that have had the out of 57ft on the bottom

Definitely worth having a punt on these for the price of a ticket
I had the same thing it popped up on my social media so I had a go
First draw I entered I won
A set of daiwa daiwa basia x45 tt alps x3 I was offerd £1350 cash alternative
Then in the next draw on the same evening I won 15k cash
Had a punt again a couple of weeks after and won a korda chair and also a rt4 bait boat although I got given 2.5k cash alternative.
I have also won on some of the instant wins a head torch and few spools of line etc
It's all down to luck I spent no more that 15 quid when I won the 15k and the rods and for the bait boat I spent £8.80.

Unfortunately all shooting will go down the none toxic route and steel,copper,bismuth, just dosent have the shock/knock down power like lead does, (steel is getting better now but more expensive than ever before) although tts shot seems to be the new in thing killing cleaning it's just to expensive to load large amounts of it.
Same as bullets I am having to use copper bullets now for shooting deer as they all go back into the food chain although they do kill they make a hell of a mess of the carcass but don't have the same knock down ability as lead meaning they run before expiring.
I'm sure the lead weight situation was talked about on Fairbrass podcast and off the top of my head the plastic coating on the lead took more than a lifetime to perish.

Don't have to buy 10kg of bottom baits to order the pop ups just add the bottom baits to the bag then the pop ups and then remove the bottom baits.
I have just ordered another 3 tubs, bonus to know they can be rolled in a different colour
