first off i was wanting to know if anyone on the forum has an extra drill kit they're willing to part with? also i need help how do i puncture a boilie?

what do i puncture with, and does anyone know if quick oats some corn meal, and a bit of almond extract would be a good method mix, and with almond extract just put a capful?

and here are my two new baithing needles:

just stab the needle through it and pull the hair back through

well see i dunno why but my boilies are in the fridge now but see they seem to have a bouncy ball texture... i'm kinda iffy...so can yall help?

they arent made correctly if they are bouncy . i bet you didnt use semole flour in your mix ? the boilees i have seen are very firm

let me see these again i could be wrong.

they're very firm but they could be to firm dunno.

For method you need a binder and a breaker. You can search some good method recipes on CAG.

your needle ought to go thru it , you might want to use your index finger and thumb close to the end so the needle dont get warped

it works...

also i got a binder i think... all purpose flour?

now put it on a hair rig to see how it is going to look and post picture .

ok...hang on.

What kind of stop are you using?

just an old bread tie wrap...got alot need to get rid of em...lol

looks good but your bait should be alot closer to the hook

the boilie should be right up against the bend of the hook.

glad to see you made it home safely cris, even tho you left p.o.'d hahaha you coming sat ?

yes ill be there jesse. we gotta redeem ourselves against jeff. lolololol

looking better Stevie, get that hair and inch or so shorter and you will be spot on!

ok thanks jeff.

big daddy, here is a good web site with animations that show how to tie the hair rig:

hey guys on the demonstration of the ledger rig with the boilee they show it without method . do any of you use this type rig without method and what can i expect out of this rig ? thanks in advance .i am using mostly inline feeder with method right now

Jesse,
I use running rigs often, just as shown. If you use a different weight (than the one shown), such as a gripper, you can use method on it, but you can use it without the method as well. Throw the method balls out and cast to where the chum is.

The limper your hooklink, though, the more often it will get tangled on the cast (in my experience). Some shrinkwrap on the lower helf of the swivel and a few inches of the hooklink can help with that.

Big Daddy, I would switch to black snap-swivels if you can find them; the shiny ones sometimes put off the carp.

jesse I am using this set up all the time but then with a inline lead
I never use the method because that great big ball of small items attracts a lot of small carp and I dont like that so close to the hookbait
I do bait up with the method but i just drop these balls of metod spread out over the swim
But I fish with boilies between that

ok leo sounds good . i will try that soon . the reason im saying is i found some clearnce price gripper weights with a welded in swivel. i will try it with these . i thought i was purchasing inline method gripper weights but when i got the package they werent . scott told me that these were designed to be used with them korda clip things . guess im going to have to get me a throwing spod becuase my arm isnt good at throwing thing far lol

ok brian sounds good too . here are the weights that i bought . i think they are 2.5 ounce http://www.bigcarptackle.com/store/product.php?productid=18012&cat=397&page=5
