Extreme snag fishing: Bottle Rig

[@markgriffiths5534]

Hi Jim loving these videos. Are you fishing up stream ?

[@jim_lightfoot]

@@markgriffiths5534 cheers Mark 😀👍🏻 I’ve fished the bottle rig both upstream & downstream. Only really viable if you can drop them from a boat 🎣

[@krisskroess]

Are you still using the bottle system? Also with a lot of current and floating weed beds?

[@jim_lightfoot]

Hi Kriss, yes it works well in strong current and floating weed beds..just need big leads. I use 10 or 12oz gripper leads 👍🏻🎣

Hi Jim very nice!

Cheers Viktor 👍🏻

Is it possible to do it from the bank

[@jim_lightfoot]

Yes, but only close range..very similar set up to float ledgering when pike fishing but just more heavy duty 👍🏻🎣

Do you fish backleads all the time due to boat traffic ?

[@jim_lightfoot]

Yes, unless I'm fishing real close in 👍🏻
