Gaz Fareham highlights how effective targeting silty areas can be, especially in the autumn; with tips and the perfect rig to combat these areas.
Autumn time is all about boilie fishing for me and there is one simple rig that I come back to time and time again. It is quick to tie and super reliable even in the most demanding circumstances. It also allows me to use a crusted up wafter as my hookbait over the top of lots of freebies.
THE AUTUMN RIG STEP-BY-STEP
Take a length of 25lb Tungskin
Strip off a few inches of the coating
Drill a small hole using a hookbait needle into your bait
Form a hair and attach the bait
Tie on a small Rig Ring, allowing a cm or so distance to the bait
Move the ring round the size 6 Curve Point Hook and tie a knotless knot
Tungskin suits this rig perfectly, it blends in with silt and dark substrates perfectly
Add a piece of Shrink Tube
Form a big loop at the other end of the Hooklink
Shrink the tubing down to create an aggressive curve
Attach the loop to the Ring Swivel
Add a couple of blobs of putty to the Hooklink
The finished rig, perfect for fishing silty areas
I use a boilie mix, boosted with GLM and Pure Krill Liquid
