*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

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

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

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

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.

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 💪😊😊.

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

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

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

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

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

I love the cell stick mix

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.

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!!

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.

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

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

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

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"

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

John. These demos are fantastic. Please keep them coming

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

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

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....

Brilliant rig

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

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

Its going to have to be the 15mm milky toffee popup for me with a 10mm tutti frutti or a strawberry zest response. Love the videos boss keep them coming.

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

Favourite product from mainline is spod & pva pellet mix

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!! 🤣😂🤣😂

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

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

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

Cell is a all time favourite of mine...

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

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 .

Blanked for 7 session until I changed to snowman rig on a ib great video 👌👌👌

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

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

15 mm cell wafter, multiple times used 🤘 cracking bait

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

Fantastic video

Cell definitely my go to bait 🎉❤

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.🎣😎

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

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

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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎣 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Mainline 15mm Response Boilies or you got to love Active 8 with the dip in a PVA bag with trout Palates and crushed boilies

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

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

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

I love the pineapple pop ups. Always seem to do me well!

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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

Cell and essential I.b. Great combo

Awesome video helped me alot

Absolutely love mainline cell

the cell actavte8 glug was unreal idk wht it is but that stuff is by far the best thing i have ever used

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

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!!

Tutti fruiti boilies and fruit smart liquid, makes the perfect winter boilie crumb stick mix. Saved many blanks for me I’m sure 😊

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

Activ-8 always used it and my own personal little edge is using one and a half boilies on the hair. As you say its a confidence thing and I can't fish effectively without my added half a boilie

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.

The Cell, for the win !!!

Im using longshank hooks they turn every time..I've still got some B175 I bought from tackle shop in Winchester.. Essential Cell great bait & great smell..Fingers crossed........LC

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

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

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.

Milky toffee pop ups by far my best hookbait

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

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

15mm essential cell pop up !! I Never go without them.

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

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.

Hi leakage Pineapple Balanced Wafters 15mm. So much confidence in these.

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

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

Jim Shelley dark side rig comes too mind

Essential cell

Thank you from usa!

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

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

Cell....Amazing

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!

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

pink and white fluoro pop ups from main line are great on my single boilie pop up 15mm

Favourite Mainline product is the cell white and pink pop ups

Pro active pineapple served me well on a few french trips with high leakage pineapple pop ups 😉

15mm high impact choc o boilie really working a treat for me

Cell and pineapple pop ups thanks for this video.
