Really enjoyed this rig video. Well presented and a really effective neat pop up rig. Professional and tidy cheers for the tips. I liked the winter baiting tip too really helpful many thanks. Glad I have found your channel and subscribed.
Great video. Only just discovered your channel and enjoyed this old school Rig a lot. I remember Steve renyard used to use this rig a lot. Look forward to future videos.
Great vid and thanks for this I message you last week about how you avoid tangles with this rig and the pva trick is great will def try this on my local water fingers crossed and thanks for sharing :-)
Great video Simon. Re pop ups Im starting to incline towards specialized hookbaits that are custom made. Loosing confidence in mass produced offerings that have been sitting in a tub since production for months or possibly years.
Jay Khan Fishing cheers mate. I find the Richworth ones are really good tbh but use what you’re confident in. Confidence is a big part of success in carp fishing 👌
MARK CRESSWELL that’s it mate it’s all down to confidence. What I like about the withy is with shrink tube the curve holds it shape. I’ve found multi rigs chods etc the curve tends to straighten.
Really enjoy your vlogs and the content you put out. Very informative and I like the detail you cover in rigs etc... One area that you don’t cover is the spots you’re presenting your bait upon within the lake and why you are choosing this particular features. Is this something you are purposely avoiding or can you cover this in future vlogs? Anyway, keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to your future ones!
Hi thanks for watching and taking time to comment. I don’t give away my spots out of respect for other people fishing the lake. If everyone knew the productive spot then they probably wouldn’t be productive spots anymore. However your comment has inspired me to make a video about choosing the right spots within your swim and the different types of spots and areas you should be looking for. It’s something that can really improve your catch rate as I think the spot is more important than rigs, bait and tackle put together! I’ll definitely be doing this video in the coming weeks👍
Simon nice vid! Why you don’t use chod link hooklink material for the curve in stead of shrink tube? The only thing is you have to tie it to your soft hooklink material.
It's another way to do it but I find chod material goes out of shape and needs more work to get it right. Shrink tube is just easier and more convenient 👍
loving the video with how to tie the rig an ? would it matter on the coulour of shrink tube to use as if fishing in weed etc an would you say that black shrink tube stands out more on rigs ? when on bottom of the lake thanks m8 really enjoyed the video
I tend to use a dark green shrink tube but I don't think it makes the much difference to be honest, remember the lakebed it covered it different bits of twigs, weed and leaves etc so the carp won't know there's any danger
Hi simon great vid as always love the exploding pva I have incorporated this into my fishing too I have tried this rig out as a pop up works very well and I have caught using it so thank you for that. My question is I have found some clearer areas of my lake where I am fishing I have been using a German rig with waters or double fake corn can this rig be adjusted as a sinker replacing the shot and fished with a wafter and have you tried that out yourself.
Hi mate cheers for your comment. Check out my latest video with my rig that caught a 60 out in france. That rig would be better for a wafter and can be used for pop ups and bottoms baits too
Blimey the withy pool rig, that takes me back a few years, why i stopped using it i don't know as i used to have great success on it. Think I Will get back on those
Hi Simon, Have you thought of investing in the Solar rig cone, its absolutely fantastic for curving the shrink tube. 100% respect to you Sir. Regards Jonathan
I know that the Withy pool rig has been around for years and has caught alot of big fish. However there's many pop up spinning types of rig today and do you think that by extending the curve of the hook with the shrink tubing, you are infact closing the gape of the hook giving poorer hooking potential ??
Dezzy1ball hi thanks for your comment. I actually think it’s the opposite with this rig if tied the way I do it. I know in the past the trend was for the “c” shaped tubing to be really tightly steamed so it locked around the fishes lip. I didn’t like it this way as I thought like you did that it closed the gape. My version of this rig just follows the curve of the hook making the gape even wider. This year alone I’ve caught 6 x 30’s and a 50 so I’m pretty confident in it👍
@@SimonDewCarpFishing hi Simon, I did notice that the curve of your shrink tubing wasn't as aggressive as some I have seen in years gone by, and obviously with the track record of the rig it's certainly doing it's job the way you tie it. Looking forward to seeing more of your vids.😀😀
Hi mate thanks for your comment yes you can use a parachute with it or anything you like really. I currently favour a foam nugget just to stop Tangles and then a scatter of boilies around it 👌
Hey Simon, just a quick question about the withy, how do you store your pre tied ones up? I've been putting mine loose in a old pop up tub and steaming the hook link before I put them out 🤷♂️ only way I can stop loosing the curve in the shrink tube as chod bins are too wide for the withy? Any help would be greatly received 👍🏻👊🏻
Hi mate. I use a fox double sided rig box that has a central section for wrapping zigs around etc. It has a nice curve which suits the withy perfectly 👍
Hi Simon, just curious about why you would start the knotless coming through the front of the eye, then finish it coming through the back of the eye. After many months since you posted I’m not expecting an answer but maybe some one might come up with a pointer .👍🏻 Edit:- Oops, silly me, just sat and thought about it for a minute and it dawned on me......never mind, carry on...lol.
Neil Kemp glad you worked it out mate. I only did it this way as I wasn’t using the tag end for a hair so it’s quicker than threading the whole hooklink through. It ends up the same as normal anyway 👍
@@SimonDewCarpFishing thank you. i guessed and mines all about 9 inches from hook eye to end, , thanks for reply and very interesting and helpfull videos, i love how youre helping us but not banging on about makes of tackle you use, i find that so boring and switch off lol, well done and keep them coming
Hi, great video and very informative. The only question i have is, does the AB shot critically balance the bait or are you using the shot to aid hooking?
Simon Dew Carp Fishing I use a shot too, but only for pop ups. I don’t like putty, plus every time I apply it it seems to move or come off. Tried warming it up first etc and it still does it.
David Fisher hi thanks for commenting. You could definitely use it in both weed and silt. I’d still tend to look for clear areas in amongst the weed but this rig will sit nicely over low lying stuff. For silt I’d suggest slightly lengthening the rig and use a helicopter setup so the lead can sink into the silt and leave the rig sitting nicely on top 👍
The withy pool.rig is a good rig .But i have come up with something far more effective . Turns with a bait or no bait every time.Very difficult to eject . Not likely to print or make video of it. Theres still rigs out there to re invent develop .Most do just to sell there products i do for my self. But cool video. and dig the exploding bag rig
We all have our confidence rigs mate. They all work at the end of the day. This one is by far the quickest to tie and the shrink tube keeps the shape of the curve so it’s a winner for me. I’d be interested to see your rig though!
@@SimonDewCarpFishing I know mate ,nice videos keep it up . A couple of my friends use to be on Withy Pool syndicate back in the day .I almost fished it on a friends guest ticket.Unfortunately he fell ill had to cancel my trips ,one of my biggest regrets ,would of loved to of fished there back then .I did go on to fish another of Kevin Maddocks other future waters here in the UK and abroad .Kevin was a amazing angler and nice bloke.True pioneer . Now retired i hear .
Another great video Simon ! Thanks very much for taking the time to show us the tips and rigs etc ...thumbs up from me .
Phil Humphries thanks mate I really appreciate that more videos on the way soon 👍

Gareth Hughes no worries mate thanks for your comment. Let me know how you get on👍
Great video a totally under used rig 👍
another great video. 3 bait stringers seem to get neglected alot these days for some reason. like your way of doing it so the mesh is under tension👍
Garry Wright cheers mate yeah just a little tweak to ring the changes really sometimes it makes all the difference 👍
Nice video. Looks a good rig.
Buscuits cheers mate 👍
A very good edge simon 👍👍
MrLeesv650 cheers mate hope it catches for you👍

I like to use some canned sweet corn with a piece of floating fake corn. Works great.
KOKEMACHINE, 4EEL FISHING its a great technique 😉
Great vid Simon, for me, the Multi rig is the best pop up rig out there, but it's all down to confidence I suppose.

Steven Fox thanks mate 👌👍
Again a very good vid. I like to use a cc moore northern specials on a rig thats a hybrid of of two other rigs.
markmason13 thanks mate. Be interested to see your rigs 😉
@@SimonDewCarpFishing Its very simple mate, I will pm you a pic on Facebook this week when I am on the bank.

Simon Dew Carp Fishing that’s understandable, looking forward to vlog on your general approach and what features you are looking for. 😀 👍
Really good educational video and tips, nice clear instructions and demo, just want to know the inline running lead system you used with it to 😁
James Chamberlain cheers buddy I really appreciate your comments and have a look on my channel I’ve done a video on the online set up 😉
Looks good want to try it here in Sa
You should!
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍 thanks m8
Welcome buddy 👍
I like u videos👏 did you sometimes reduce length of shrink tube to have pop up lower?
Hi mate yes you can make it lower if you want it will still work but I prefer it around 2 inches off the bottom 👍

Very good question, you have made so many vids could you please share the link)
I'm curious how you store these? It feels as though the boom wants to be in a stiff rig wallet but the curved hook part in a chod bin.
I've got a fox double sided rig box that has a curved section in the middle for withy and hinged stiff rigs 👍 you can also wrap zigs around it 👍
Greet vlog
cheers mate
Blimey the withy pool rig, that takes me back a few years, why i stopped using it i don't know as i used to have great success on it.
Think I Will get back on those
Chris d it’s caught me a lot of fish over the last three years mate with very few loses. Definitely worth another go 😉
Hi Simon,
Have you thought of investing in the Solar rig cone, its absolutely fantastic for curving the shrink tube.
100% respect to you Sir.
Regards Jonathan
Hi mate thanks for your comment. I've got one actually but found I just didn't need it. I just use my thumb to curve it before it sets again 👍
@@SimonDewCarpFishing
Sorry to be a nuisance, but you use the withy rig on a inline lead. Could it also be used on a helicopter setup?
Or is it at its most deadly on an inline?
@@JonathanLungley yes you can use it with any lead setup I prefer inline for a hard spot but leadclip/helicopter for silt or weed 👍
just google steve renyards withy pool rig . As for the bag mmm seen hamidi show this many many years ago
I know that the Withy pool rig has been around for years and has caught alot of big fish.

Simon Dew Carp Fishing , yep, just as I thought, appreciate the speedy response. Got a new sub right here.👍🏻
Neil Kemp no worries cheers mate 👍
Can the line weaken if you bite the shot to hard
generally braid is fine mate. Mono hook links can be damaged though
how long should the finished rig be mine looks shorter than yours but used 12 inches of hook link
Usually the bit between the loop and the shot is around 6-7 inches mate 👍
@@SimonDewCarpFishing thank you. i guessed and mines all about 9 inches from hook eye to end, , thanks for reply and very interesting and helpfull videos, i love how youre helping us but not banging on about makes of tackle you use, i find that so boring and switch off lol, well done and keep them coming
Hi,
great video and very informative. The only question i have is, does the AB shot critically balance the bait or are you using the shot to aid hooking?
The shot is to weigh down the pop up otherwise the whole rig would lift off the bottom 👌
👍👍👍🎣💪
Juan Cobos 👍👍👌😉
I was just curious why you use a bait screw over using a hair?
Hi mate it's personal choice really. I like how quickly I can change baits with a bait screw
I wouldn’t be adding a shot on the stripped back section of the coated material - you run the risk of weakening the breaking strain.
Never had a problem mate a shot is better than putty as it's a consistent weight so no need to keep checking and balancing rigs etc
Simon Dew Carp Fishing I use a shot too, but only for pop ups. I don’t like putty, plus every time I apply it it seems to move or come off. Tried warming it up first etc and it still does it.
@@djdave29 what brand putty are you using mate? I use kryston and its spot on 👌

Hi can you help me please
How big pop ups do you use
Generally 14mm mate it's worth experimenting to see what works with the hooks and brand of pop ups you use etc
No offence meant Simon but you have a very soporific voice, I never make it all the way through a video without nodding off.
Timothy Mallinson no offence taken mate I’m usually running on zero sleep so I’m usually half asleep myself 😂
