Experimental rig ?

Going to try a new type rig.
I got some 20mm polystyrene balls to create a 'popup' rig.
Using a normal rig,but having the hooklength weighted about a foot from the hook.So the bait is up above the reach of the crabs.
It will also keep the bait out of any mud or junk on the bottom.
I've had days where the crabs made fishing a waste of time.
If the seabed is muddy or full of silt,the bait should be just above it.

Let use know if it works.

I saw it used down south KD.
They were getting hammered by the crabs,and added the polystyrene balls,
And started catching.
It's a well used method on still freshwater fishing (boilies mainly)
I'll keep you posted.
