What size boilies should I use when fishing a snowman rig for double figure carp? Also, does colour choice matter?
Tom Maker:
If you’re fishing a lake which is predominantly double figure carp, I’d look to present a 16mm bottom bait or a Tuff One, topped with one of the 12mm Fluoros from the range.
Personally, I love the Peach & Peppers but I’d say it’s all down to personal preference.
I like to use larger hooks too, which suits this presentation as the larger hook helps balance out the rig. As for colour, you may find some venues perform better with a certain colour, so if you’re fishing more than one rod, why not try the same rig with a different pop up on each presentation then see what happens? I’m sure one will stand out from the rest on the day.
