This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: The Best Chub Rig in the World – Ever!
I customise Kamasan Black Cap feeders into inline versions. I find that the Drennan bolt rig feeders are a little on the large size and are to heavy to chuck out with a quivertip rod. If anyone wants to know how I do it I'll put up a short article.
Why would you want to use a quivertip with Drennan bolt rig feeder
Jerry
If you re-read my comment you will see that I don't use Drennan bolt rig feeders with a quivertip. As stated the Drennan ones are too big for chub fishing but I convert Kamasan Black Cap's into a mini version. I use these with a very short hook link of 1-3 inches.
Must have miss-read it, I thought it read "I find that the Drennan bolt rig feeders are a little on the large size and are to heavy to chuck out with a quivertip rod". .................Hence my comment.
I tend to use Harrison Specialists pointed directly at the feeder - good balance IMO.

An 11ft 6" light/Medium feeder rod with a Drennan Bolt Rig feeder of 2oz + loaded with maggots is not a good idea, hence why I convert Kamasan Black Caps.
I'll simplify the statement - why mention the Drennon in the same sentence with a quivertip if we both know they're not compatible
Jerry
Simply because there are no small versions of said Drennan feeder around (well not small enough for me) that suit my needs.
just wait....cg will tell you how to catch chub.........
There was a similar in priciple to a method used yonks ago on the Trent (But without the extending hooklink)in matches perfected by an old timer who I think was called Bailey. The method was to use a very large swinfeeder with almost no hooklength. The feeders were converted pea cans and the like. The size 12 hook was fixed I think on half inch link above the feeder and baited with ONE maggot. The rig was continualy cast to induce the said frenzy which induced the bolt effect.
I can only guess at the size of mortgage you would need to buy enough maggots for this method nowadays
would that be the "Dink Dink" rig....
