How to tie it

  1. Tie the chod section: knotless knot with a D and rig ring, then a stiff-rig loop to a ring swivel. Curve it gently by steaming.
  2. Slide the top bead, the chod section and the bottom bead onto the leader above the lead.
  3. Set the beads to fish the rig free-running or fixed depending on the bottom.
  4. Mount the pop-up on the ring with bait floss.

Tips

  • Use the most buoyant pop-up you have. Fish it naked on the mainline when weed is bad.
