*Awesome product! Great quality feel **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s light yet extremely sturdy and well built. Will definitely recommend. Already placing a second order!*

Fluoro pop-ups 14 mm pink and white!! Always been brilliant bait in Italy and just last week I caught a 20 pounder in a tiny pondd (second ever british carp)with a 25 quid rod, reel & line fishing kit for kids!!! I had to swim in to the pond to land the carp!! amazing day :)

A few tips for anyone new tying this rig. 1 - measure the length of stripped of section, you’ll almost definitely get this too long or too short to start with so when learning keep track of how much you actually need to play with 2 - if you come to tying the knot less knot and have too much you can always whip a couple times more and even a couple back up the shank over the initial whips 3 - if your hair length is too long, you can tie an extra granny knot on the rig ring 4 - if your hair is too short or you decide to use a bigger bait you can use an extender stop and it might save you from having to do a total re tie Hope that saves someone some headaches moving forward

Such a similar story to myself. I moved to Chods after watching so many videos and listening to other anglers. After 3 blank sessions I returned to my beloved snowman rig with a PVA stick, and sure enough, the catches returned. Confidence is everything. Cell always helps too. Best bait flavour since the magnificent Grange. Miss that bait. Keep up the amazing work.

Always had a great deal of faith in the longshank snowman ⛄️. In fact I caught my very first 30lber on a snowman rig with a Mainline Cell and Pineapple combo but my favourite Mainline bait is still Activ8. Going to give the Snowman a try this week because I’m in exactly the same predicament on Christchurch. Found this video really helpful because it’s made me realise I shouldn’t be a sheep and do what everyone else is doing when I already have utmost confidence in my own angling and rigs!

Thanks John for your clearly explanation...I'm already using them and they work 100%

Look forward to your Saturday pm demo's and another good one plus listening to your adventure! Keep them coming! 👌👍👍

Great video John yet again, I've been carp fishing for over 30 years and when I was introduced to Mainlines Tutti Frutti pretty much like the Carp I was hooked, so my all time favourite bait from Mainline is "Tutti Frutti"

John. These demos are fantastic. Please keep them coming

Diamond Whites is the wait to go for me. love the step bye step videos ❤️ Thank’s for those and GL all 😁

Essential Cell freezer range have bagged plenty of carp for me all year round. Going to try the snowman based on this vid. Very clear and well explained, thank you Mainline 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎣 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Great video John, more like this please! My favourite by far is the banoffee shelf life boilies, 👍🏻

Loving these vids keep them coming. My all time favourite Mainline product has to be from the high attract range either in Essential IB or Pineapple flavours.

Still use a snow man today!! My go to rig Just not on a long shank hook but extended with a large piece of tubing , makes it flip earlier getting better hook holds . High leakage pineapple will always be a winner for me 👍 Keep up the videos !! Great videos

Brilliant story and top angling I’ve used the long shank on my snowman rigs definitely a good rig 👍🏻

IB balanced wafters have been phenomenal. Can't really fault any of your products, great videos too👍🎣

The 15mm Spicy Crab Balanced Wafter has got me two PBs this week. So it’s definitely my favourite product!

high leakage 15mm pineapple pop-up boilies do well. great video, will be giving the rig a try. i love the fishing community, there is knowledge around every corner to be discovered no matter how long you have been an angler.

Mainline Cell 18mm , best sessions I've had using these. Great video too, thanks

Love the snowman rig caught me loads. My favourite mainline product is the milky toffee pop ups. Love them as singles but even better is on top of my food baits of choice as a snowman. Keep up the vids loving them and great little story.

Great video and thanks for the info. The dumbell 14/18mm in essential cell work great for me and stick mix liquid banoffee. Mainline is a great product that works fantastic.🎣😎

Love the old school active 8 boilies they have caught me loads of fish and the new high attraction pop ups are something else. Great work guys

One word "cell". Keep up the great work, brilliant blogs!

I've been using the snowman rig down my local lake and it's worked a treat. 5 nice carp in few hours.👍

Active 8 for me ...one of the all time greats and is still as good today as any bait that’s been produced since ... take it anywhere with 100% confidence

Lovely video as usual, many thanks for that! Like the story to, looking forward for more.

High leakage 15 mm boilies have caught me a tonne of fish, love em! Great story, great rig, great vid. Thanks! 👊🏼

My favourite boile was the NRG, simply awesome bait which caught me fish everywhere I took it 👍👍👍

New to fishing but I have used the Mainline essential IB boilies, and caught my first Carp on it, so have to say that that is my favourite product. Was so happy to land a fish!!

I really like the high visual pineapple pop-ups 😎👍 thanks for all the great vids🙏🙏 keep them coming😀👍👍

My all time go to bait would have to be the cell, but recently been mixing it with link aswel. Great video as always and loved your story John at the end.

Popup mix and the multitude of available flavours. I love making my own popups and have had great success whilst others are struggling. It's also more rewarding catching on bait I have thought of and rolled with my own hands

Loving the new smart liquid in cell. The last two trips have seen carp on the bank when mates have blanked in the next swims over. Can’t praise it enough.

I love to use the choco boillie. Thx for the instructions. Nice give away to use on the Dutch waters. Greatings from the Netherland.

Essential IB wafters and Cell have 100% confidence in both of these!

I think the high visual pop-ups are one of the best.

Im completely new 2 carp fishing so this was a brilliant tutorial for me on the snowman rig ive got some 15ml spicy crab high impact pop ups to fish with on the 12th of September on my local lake (borrow pit Tamworth) so fingers crossed they do the business!! I can just imagine that boat flying out the water like james bonds lotus!! 🤣😂🤣😂

Loving the Salty Squid Essential IB, having some great results with them 👊🎣

15mm essential cell pop up on a spinner is my go to! Great vid!

My favourites are the high impact balanced wafters in the salty squid flavour. It caught me lot of lovely fish.

I love the power particle tigers, landed 10 carp on last session fished on a Ronnie rig balanced with Cork to fish as a tiger wafter ... awesome!!

First year of making my own boilies, so it has to be the link or essential cell activate for me. Helped keep my bait costs down, while tearing my local waters to peices 💪😊😊.

Had some great results on the cell I have now moved onto the link as my bait this yr I’ve only managed 3 x 48 hrs on the bank this yr but had an awesome 28 lb mirror and a few stockies but it shows the bait is beginning to get noticed

Nice one John,a brillaint rig explained,i remember the B175s,think it was good old Lee Jackson who let that cat out the bag,as for best product think without a doubt its got to be active maple 8 for me and the ever faithful milky toffees,what happened to longshank hooks we all used them then suddenly,out came the wide gapes and they were consigned to the bottom of the tackle box,anyway pal once again ,brilliant video explained perfectly.

The product I've used most is (weirdly enough) the Banoffee glug. Used it for all sorts of things from pumping into pellets when fishing for crucians, to glugging hookbaits as it says on the tin... great stuff.

My all time favourite mainline baits product has to be the Cell! Whenever I'm faced with a tricky venue or a place that holds big carp I always head straight for the cell. Carp can not resist it!

15mm tutti frutti. My young sons love them too. Great videos keep it up !!!!!!!!

Thanks for the advice. My favourite used to be a double 15mm Fusion bottom baits on a "Parrot " style rig. Ahhhhh Fusion, them were the days!

Essencial I.B. and Spicy Crab are doing the work for me! Good job :)

Literally just ordered all the bits needed to make this bad boy 😎

Power partical Tigmix. Really great blog. Really going to try this rig method here in South Africa.

Thanks for the tip about using the baiting needle for tying the knots, I'm new to fishing and have struggled to tie the simple knots, simply because I've got fat stupid hands.

IB wafter on the german rig 🤞 always been keen to try the snowman and will definately give it ago after this video thanks for the tips 👍

Hi visual popups or the special edition pop ups my all round favorite 😜 got my first 4 fishes on the hi visuals since then mainline popups are my all time fav

The toppers absolutely amazin since most places I fish don’t allow fake corn 👍

Base mixes and activators l. Love the way you can mice and match flavours (personal favourite cell base mix + hybrid activator)

Love the Cell base mix mixed with Polaris and activator this combined with a touch of added powder colour of choice is a dream bait, having said that I would never leave home without a bag of Essential ib as a back up

Active-8 back in the day, nowadays The Link, awesome fish catcher !

My favourite has to be the pink and whites pop ups. Especially the cell ones. They're just such a great all rounder that can be used on so many different rigs. Don't go anywhere without them.

My favoutite Mainline product would have to be 15 mm Banoffee Wafers, but I look forward to trying the new Smart Liquid. The video you made left a good impression!

Essential IB and the Active 8 has always worked for me! Excellent bait with unique essence🎣 #success

Awesome stuff, love a long shank amazing hooking potential 👌

Cell pop ups on a spinner. Works well in a bag or over a few free offering! Love it👍

My all time favourite Mainline product is the Cell either 18mm bottom or I now use everywhere the 18mm wafters on a IQ2 D Rig

Active 8 fantastic bait great video I still use the b175 s

Can't decide. My go to baits everywhere i go are hi vis pop ups in tutti frutti, spicy crab boillies and halibut syrup. No matter the water, thats the go to combo for me .

Fruit Tella #best flavor #fish love it #mainline best baits

The SmartLiquid! Definitely a game changer... History in the making!

Great video again, mine is msinline pastel barrel waters size 14mm, fruity squid washed out pink, great bait,

Mainline fruit-tella! The small pink 12mm versions are just perfect for the smaller hooks and the more delicate fishing! I can really catch with it on every lake... big mirrors...commons... even the big grasscarp can’t resist them....

High leakage pineapple wafters cought me loads of fish, great videos trying the blow back rig this weekend on a couple of balanced tigers, 🤞 can get a lump or 2.

I love mainline flouro popups 🎣👍👍

What a great video, keep up the hard work and tight Linz! 👍🎣🤙🐟🐠👌😎🐡

15 mm cell wafter, multiple times used 🤘 cracking bait

Cell definitely my go to bait 🎉❤

15mm high impact fruity tuna and also another good-un cell !!! Both have given me good results👍

15mm essential cell pop up is a go to for the Ronnie rig!

Brilliant rig

My favourite mainline bait is the Essential IB pop up, I’ve had a session where I have had 7 fish on that bait which was on top of a banoffee boilie so it was a snowman style👍🎣

I love the cell stick mix

15mn mainline cell, it gives me confidence at home and abroad 👍👍

Without doubt has to be the Pro-Active Pineapple. Loved them 👍🏻

Gotta say the essential cell wafters have done me well, and gave me my pb at 31lb. Haven't changes since then.

I used High impact 16mm choco orange pop-ups...... Landed me some mean linear carps and even some gras carps, all around the 2 foot lenght :)). Great pop-up, i have it on every session

Jim Shelley dark side rig comes too mind

Cell is a winner for me. A great video be the way.

Just got my first tub of pink and whites the other day so hopefully they come up trumps for me next time 🤙🏽

It’s got to be the cell for me. Tried and tested had loads of fish on them 👍🏻🎣

Cell and essential I.b. Great combo

Essential cell boilies and a home made essential cell wafter 👌 Also love the old activ8, I don't understand why it's not as popular these days it's a brilliant boilie 🎣🎣

Cell, I know it’s now old, but it’s still a great bait and has never let me down.

The smart liquid, game changer... 🎣👍

I love the pineapple syrup and pineapple pop ups 12 mm. Doing well for me this year 👍

Fantastic video

Got to be the classic tutti fruitti boilies still my favourite after all these years 🥰👍

Cell is a all time favourite of mine...

Essential cell pop up has just landed me my pb from the local park lake at 24lb 4oz

Fruity squid pastel barrel wafters - the smell is so strong! 🎣🎣

Awesome video helped me alot
