30 Years Later… Steve Ringer Tries the Bagging Waggler Again!

Steve Ringer returns to Drayton Reservoir for the first time in decades to revisit a fishing method he hasn’t used for around 30 years — the Bagging Waggler!

Once a hugely popular way of targeting big carp, the Bagging Waggler has become much less common in modern match fishing. But with Drayton Reservoir still home to plenty of hard-fighting carp, Steve wants to find out whether this old-school method still has what it takes.

In this episode, Steve heads onto the banks of Drayton Reservoir to put the Bagging Waggler through its paces, targeting carp on the surface and in the upper layers of the water.

Can Steve bring this forgotten method back to life? And more importantly… why did we ever stop fishing it?

Expect plenty of big carp, old-school tactics, modern thinking and loads of fishing knowledge from one of the sport's most accomplished anglers.
