the thing im wondering now is can i use this on a running lead set up or should i use it with a fixed lead style using carp tail and rubber setup so its fixed but lead can breakaway if needed scratch

The secret is to minimise resistance Pike dont like resistance thats why you fish with open spools not a bait runner so running rigs all the way

yes you can the lead runs on the main line the attachment is on the trace itself

its will you can add weights to your trace to counter balance so just the bait pops up and not the whole trace but over heavy weed let it come off the full length of the trace

and also when you tighten every thing up to put into your drop off you tighten up to the lead so it can,t float to the surface

then hollow out the bait to make a place for the wooden insert to fit first, best to do this with the baits still frozen but make sure not to split the bait
gently push a thin strong pin i made mine from a wall tie with a small split ring on the end but you could use a long baiting needle or stringer needle all its got to do is pull the link through the bait

once you have pulled it through attach your bouyant stick and pull back into the bait and then attach trebles into the bait now it ready to attach to your rig
