Cheers again ****y,
With the bait being cut/trimmed down it looks like it's either to prevent it being popped up too much/ leach out the scent faster or a combination of both, but basically it's as we were discussing earlier.
In saying that though, I suppose it's still a pop up being used restricted or trimmed it begins life as a pop up.
Interesting they're all hooked in the bottom lip though, not what I would've imagined.

meant to say, I wouldn't have expected their choice of hooklength material to be either the braids, they made a big thing about fluorocarbon in the previous DVD's. The scene if I remember correctly has 3 rigs lying in the margins and you can follow the materials of 2 from hook to weight quite clearly, the third the viewer is advised are just the rig components and that's all it looks like till they lift it and it's a fluorocarbon end rig.
