THE BANDED PELLET RIG
The normal banded pellet has been pulled down into the bottom of the bend of the
hook because this is where I think most of the banded pellets end up after the
chub have mouthed it a few times and that's where it ends up after a big cast
especially if you've got the pellet wrapped in paste.

The other picture is to show you the whipped banded rig.  When I put the pellet
on I add a second band to stop the hook from twisting sideways.
The bait bands I use are Gardener Latex Bait Bands (Super Strong) Qty 100 6.4mm
(1/4").

ABOUT THE RIGS PAGE
The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will be
useful to both beginners and experienced anglers.
The rigs can be extremely simple and well known, or very complicated and little
known, it doesn't matter providing they make some kind of sense and have a
really practical application.
It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate seeing
in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the experienced carp
angler would like to see.
IF YOU WISH TO CONTRIBUTE a rig to this section please remember that the
emphasis is on illustration rather than words. Good line drawings are fine in
the absence of photographs. Please send to graham@fishingmagic.com
