Always a straight forward running lead for me , unless im naked chodding
Been experimenting lately with a few different set ups including inline running leads and shocker rigs and will probably continue to do so .
Cant stand lead clipped semi fixed set ups , i get fed up with single bleeps , getting done and im convinced the Carp use the lead to throw the hook, although i have used heli-rigs and would afain if i deemed ut neccessary .
Everyone to his own , you'll get loadsa different replies here
