Bottom baits for me, but it also depends on what the bottom of the water is like, heavy weed maybe a pop up , clear surface def bottom baits.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Definitely depends on the fishing situation.

Cheers mate 👍

Good video lads. Excellent photography 👍🐳🐟🦈

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Thank you 😁

[@tiesdevries124]

Great video guys. The type of baits I use depends of the bottom of the venue fishing. If soft weedy pop-ups on a choddy. If the bottom is hard and clean bottom baits

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Thanks. That's normally the best way, we just tried it for a bit of fun 👍

On the d rig ? Do you use in turned eye or chod style hook ?

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Normally I use an ESP Gripper size 4 (wide gap pattern). I have been testing out the ESP chod hammers which have been producing really good hook holds.

[@dannylong8382]

@@TheFishingBloggers yer because originally it was used with a chod type hook , but a lot of people are using wide gape types

[@TheFishingBloggers]

@@dannylong8382 the original D Rig wasn't made with a chod hook as they hadn't been developed. The original was made with 20lb Amnesia and a Drennan Continental.

It’s not a bottom bait with a pop up on tho is it my friend

[@TheFishingBloggers]

It's more bottom that pop 🤣

[@UncalBertExcretes]

only use popups on chod rigs

[@TheFishingBloggers]

They can be deadly on some venues 🔥

Great Tv Show 👍

[@nickstroud3105]

This is pointless! It all depends on the bottom you are fishing over. There’s no “best”

[@TheFishingBloggers]

That's a fair point 👍

[@Rich-bp3wi]

Pop ups do well on runs waters in my opinion like the lake in the video but for me wafters are much better option. Pop ups are just way to obvious for my liking unless In weedy lakes. Good video though lads 👍
AFTER WATCHING: one problem with the bottom baits was your fishing for small fish with huge bottom baits almost the size of there heads 🤣

[@TheFishingBloggers]

🤣🤣🤣 Gobstoppers 👌
