Been doing something similar for years. Instead of using mesh i use a ESP mini bag with a mix of 2&4mm. Inject the bag with glug, band a 6 or 8mm on and use a baiting needle to pull the loop of the hook length through, then attach to the bottom of the rig. The hookbait sits at the bottom and you get everything in a extremely tight package and zero glug lost. For added ease, i use a paste pot or a large preston cad pot.
I was watching Dickie Carr do this at Keith Bowlers memorial match at Colemans Cottage back in 2009 or thereabouts, so it's not new. Thanks for triggering the momory, this would probably work well at Birds Green. 👍
Been using T Bag on pole for about a year now with decent success rate. Found it can work well in autumn/winter when you need to be more precise and stricter with the amount of bait used. Cheers
good to see your still thinking about something different and improving your catch rate i do it all the the time some of my ideas are a bit crazy but thats what gives me the buzz and keeps from doing the norm all the best keep up the fun side of fishing
Hi Ian, my guess would be that a cone would likely fall apart before it hit the bottom. Plus, you would be constrained by using micro's in the cone- as opposed to match the hatch sized pellets.
Well, i doubt there is Michael ....but i had never seen anyone ship out a small pva mesh bag on a pole-rig before and i have been fishing for quite a while now 😊😊

Use a pole cup to keep T-bags out of water wen shipping out 👍
Or a cable tie .
Paste pot so your float doesn't wrap up
Agree with Greg, pellet cone on pole, fed via paste pot / does work. I use the small guru cone with micros
i use pellet cone on pole good results with bright bait

Use a cable tie for shipping out like a bait dropper ?

Been using tea bags for years dipped in cheap horse feed molasses.
Tops ...I think Richard Taylor and the DELAC boys have done this....
What is the dip used?
This would work well in tight margins aswell 😊
Basically reinvented a version of the pellet cone
I've been thinking that a small method feeder would work.
Until you loose a fish and it come back at you
Like it 😊
Why rhe teabag instead of a cone?
Because he's using hard pellets.

Pole fishing is 💩.
What a lot of faffing about, use a pole pot or a cable tie
Only angler on the lake ……
Nothing new in fishing Mark.
