Spot on SWMBO always says "keep it simple"... trouble is, that is when she is talking to someone else about me!Mark wrote:This thread is enough to put anyone off using the lift method.
I am so glad I don't think too deeply about rigs and fishing in general.

I suspect it could be “love”, despite its drawbacks in the rhyming department.

Hi Nobby sorry m8 but you need to read that book again under the section float fishing for Crucian carp p30Nobby wrote:I haven't read much Walker, but on other forums when this subject has been raised I was told Walker didn't drive home the point about the float falling sideways so much? Certainly Wilson labours the point quite strongly in his "Go Fishing Techniques".

Re: How to correctly fish the lift method.
Thank-you, but I don't. I've read it a hundred times already...and it's Page 31.
I see the way this subject is heading yet again and I withdraw.
Sort of thought this would happen actually.

Re: How to correctly fish the lift method.
The method, as described by Fred J Taylor is as follows -
Use was for tench fishing with breadcrust for bait.
A swanshot placed 1-2 inches from the hook. Peacock quill attached by bottom only with a float rubber.
Set the float shallow and cut the quill down with scissors until the float just sinks. Plumb the depth as usual and the set the float about twenty per cent deeper than the depth. Bait up with crust and cast out. Put the rod in two rests and wind in until you have the amount of tip showing that you want. Tench feed head down, tail up. When you get a bite the float will lift
Simple and effective!

In the book "angling in earnest" which I have
Fred does not describe cutting the quill until it just sinks
Please can I ask you were you got the information from ?
Just interested
Thanks MA
