Carp Live! Pop-up Rig Part 2 (Underwater video)

[bumpyjason]

i always fish with the boilie close to the hook on chods and pop ups! the rig mechanics are far simpler and different to bottom and critically balanced baits. with pop up, you just need to get the hook in its mouth. the weight "shot or putty" used to hold the bait down enhances the rig mechanics too and keeps your hook at the correct position. if im using a pop up or chod then i will always use it a few feet away from the bottom free offerings. good video.

[redbullstef2]

I see You're hook is very close to the bait, is that a must or? cause i have 2cm between (15mm pup-up) and hook bend.

[JeromeMoisand]

@redbullstef2 I'm no pop-up specialist, I actually rarely use them, but still... if you watch my other videos (notably the long hair one), you will see that carp tend to take the bait with the top of their lips, so a 2cm hair... the hook would likely stay out of the carp's mouth in most cases... I believe a Korda video was showing exactly that.

[micallef87]

Awesome videos! What was the difference between this rig and the rig in part one? Or was it just the pop up?

[JeromeMoisand]

@micallef87 No difference. This was all recorded as part of the same session and using the same rig. The first video shows the (numerous) failures, the second video shows the (few) successes...

[Bonkers4Annebell]

Nice carp!! Big fella too

[andycarpcatcher]

Nice vid so thanks. Just wondering how difficult it was to make the video? Did you hire the equipment or own it? Does the water clarity have a big impact on where you can film? I would love to do some match fishing vids but perhaps the water clarity in a commercial fishery would be too muddy? Any advice would be appreciated.

[JeromeMoisand]

@andycarpcatcher I own the equipment. Yes, water clarity does matter, I have the best results near winter time, actually. Check my Web site (carpiopedia), the video section and you'll find various write-ups on my experience with underwater video making.

[soppp2]

Everything above 20 cm's is not pop up presentation no more, 0,5 m (or longer) rig is ZIG rig...

[JeromeMoisand]

@soppp2 No disagreement here, but if you're implying that my pop-up was hovering that high, then this is not quite true. I know, the video is a bit deceiving, as the underwater camera magnifies a lot. Check the rig at the beginning of the video, and you'll see that the pop-up was just a few cm from the bottom.

[soppp2]

@JeromeMoisand No, no, mate... I can see everything very clearly, ure right. Misunderstanding, my comment was an answer on The ToBuBi's post... Sorry.

How not to handle carp....

[johnnybumbum]

@sam58810976 what do you mean theres no special technique developed in ancient China thousands of years ago which was passed down by alien ancestors from a parallel universe on how to handle a fish

[rkdeighton]

That's awesome. What equipment did you use to video the footage. It would be ace to see how your bait is presented after you have cast in.

[JeromeMoisand]

@rkdeighton Tx. I used an Aqua-Vu Explorer 7 underwater camera. And a separate video recorder.

[stedalli83]

hi wen fishing with a hair rig do u have to wait for the carp to hook them selves? and is it possible to fish on a boilie witha float?

[JeromeMoisand]

@stedalli83 If you use a bolt rig, yes, they hook themselves, but this isn't quite dependent on using a hair rig or not. And yes, I don't see why not (boilie on a float), as long as this is enough of an instant bait (i.e. attractant).

[TheToBuBi]

@JeromeMoisand Do I have to fish 5-6 centimetres up to the ground 8like you in this video) or can I also fish0,3-0,5m high?

[JeromeMoisand]

@TheToBuBi People have caught using both techniques. Personally, I have very limited confidence in using more than a couple of centimeters for a pop-up...

[BoilieBracken]

as a british angler im shocked to see no unhooking mat of any kind, and amazed to see the carp layed on its stomach with its pectoral fins used as a stand!!!!!! come on whats going on???

[123Karpervisser]

Hey man nice carp, but I have a question do you use a safety mat, if you know what I mean? because if you put the carp on the grass you can damage the carp.

but beautiful carp

[JeromeMoisand]

@123Karpervisser The ground is soft, no risk of damaging fish here. But sure, I do use a mat in normal fishing conditions...

[123Karpervisser]

@JeromeMoisand oke

[ansellman]

should use blowback rigs



[carpytime]

i think if you use half a pop up you will hook more carp because if you think carp have been hook on boiles for years and there bound to wise up to it so try it you may get better results

[phanbanam1993]

big carp

[adifishing]

where in the USA



[JeromeMoisand]

@adifishing Boston

[masongeorge123]

why are there so many common carp ?

[JeromeMoisand]

@masongeorge123 Few few mirrors in this venue. Probably less than 1%. With a few significant exceptions, this is the norm in North America.

[bivykjeld]

i have seen this vid and now i think its better to use a light weight to fix the pop up

[casablanca626]

Nice vids. I've watched them all a dozen times. but i noticed that you have your bait too far from the bend of the hook. have your hair come out from right where the bend starts, keep your hair as short as possible to try and keep the bait almost touching the hook. watch your success skyrocket.

[CarpManDan93]

And use a stick mix aswell so they can hoover up your hook bait

[DannyFowkes]

that is a fantastic vid mate, good to see how carp behave 

[kotakusang]

FANTASTIC!!! GREAT JOB!!! Thank you man....

[paterz123]

if they are feeding at the bottom, maybe you should put the little lead more towards the hook

[dale20ryan]

1 question i need answering do pop ups work just as well when hair rigged with a loop?

[MrRenBenhuldt]

@dale20ryan Maybe have 1 line pop up and 1 with loop? They both work as well as each other i find....

[dale20ryan]

@MrRenBenhuldt ok thanks mate

[renr1234]

nice vid, how much centimeter is the lead hail from the hook?

[JeromeMoisand]

@renr1234 Check the beginning of the video again... I described all the elements of the rig.

[scousepitty]

did you PVA bag when usin the popups? seem to be alot of fish in the swim

[myatt10]

I had a feeling that was a ghosty when watching on the camrea stunning fish you have there mate !, personaly i think these videos are amazing, really shows you how the carp feel the bait with there pectoral fins and mouth, If i can say id recomend a bottom bait thats sticks to the bottom for more sucess, but you have already tryed that by now i geuss ?.

anyway great vids mate,

[cdbaby1001]

wat was the special fish

[TopGunnerx3]

the videos are so crazy very nice

well done

[nielscarp]

Really nice fish! Where did u catch them? UK,France,USA?

[JeromeMoisand]

@nielscarp USA

[renr1234]

@JeromeMoisand how you attract the carps? when you are fishing with a pop-up? btw nice vid!

[bumpyjason]

this set up is brilliant for muddy/silty lakes where the bottom is up and down all the time. thats the only time i will fish a bait this high up.

[chriscrazyman32]

nice video anyways dont forget to add some more this year..

[markyellowseries3]

at 3:40 you can clearly see the carp 'checking' the bait out. nosing it around seeing if it feels natural or not. It decides its not right and makes like a tree and leaves. thats why i dont use pop ups.

[thomaspeters1994]

cool color carp:O very rare I think

[gggbbbeee]

They werent taking it very well in the first video but seemed to be taking it a lot better in the 2nd. Was anything done differently?

[JeromeMoisand]

@gggbbbeee no change, same rig, same recording sessions, I just selected the failures for the first video, and the successes for the second video. Simple as that! ;-)

[xbonni21x]

good filming . its nice to see how the fish react to the hook link and baits ..i like to fish with the method feeder and hair rigs

[koosputs]

nice carp

[carpeenonsolo]

bellissimo video,ciao

[Steenvinkel]

It seems that you only catch the carp that take in the bait while they are swimming or moving fairly fast. Maybe the sorter hooklink will work.

And needless to say, that a popup does not seem to be the thing when their head is tight to the bottom.

Supers vids! Please more, and also please let me know what sort of cammera equipment you are using.

[JeromeMoisand]

@Steenvinkel Thanks. Camera is an Aqua-Vu Explorer 7.

[Timosfaust]

nice catch at the end!

[jumba9]

the last carp is really beautifoul!!! my dream is to catch a koi carp too!

nice video and great passion!

[carpingbonkers]

I noticed in the first of these two vids they got away wioth it a lot did you make a slight alteration to the popup for the second part as they clearly didnt.

Am i right in saying you are just pushing a small swivel into the popup to hold it on the hooklink and finally cracking last fish over here in England we would call that a ghost carp because they have a ghostly appearance when seen in the water almost a skull look to the head area.

[DanishHouseFreak]

@carpingbonkers It isn't a swivel in the pop up, but a little rig ring. use them myself, you put a little elastic band on the ring and use that as a hair. So basically you can use pretty much any size bait without making a new rig/hair! :D

Hope you understand and i hope it helped :D

[JeromeMoisand]

@carpingbonkers no alteration, this is exactly the same rig and the same sessions, I just selected the successful events for the 2nd video, and the less successful events for the first one!

[CarpAtzen]

nice video...

[carphauler141]

how big was the last fish mate good vids

[JeromeMoisand]

@carphauler141 not that big, 10 pounds or so.

[doversole]

@1:30 thats why they work so well as singles becasue the carp are not slowly going from peice to peice. They see bait and confidently eat it. Ow and still waiting on the short hook links ;) Good Video mate
