If your interested and are either Ex - Royal Navy, Royal Air Force or Army then send me a pm. Cheers Tim ExMil Carp Club, Secretary

Will do mate, it's almost time to wrestle the gear out the back of my lock up. Next Friday I'll be on the bank & try to detail it. Honestly so easy, all you need to do tie the hook and to the swivel. I've found a link, it mentions a video that may make it clear. Hydrolink https://www.rigmarole.co.uk/products/end-tackle-accessories/hooklinks

Good call. It was iCARP: https://icarp.org.uk/

Hi Tim, my name is lewis, I just been medically discharged after 11yrs service. Now I’m out I’m trying to get into carping again. be grateful if you could get in touch thank you. lewis

I did quickly dismiss the chod and roddie rig tbh, these really highlight the things I don't like about using a heli set up, as you probably need to leave the bead further away from the lead and that's what I don't like abiut it so much, and why I prefer an inline or lead clip set up as the rig is directly connected to the lead if you see what I mean, I do agree its probably best for presentation over anything and a last resort but I think if I am getting a Decent drop it should be OK and I would get better indication and more positive takes, I think if the weed was worse on the spots I would probably see it as my only option, when I am finding spots at the moment I am using a grippa lead and also making multiple casts to clear it a bit so I am fairly confident it's not mega weedy on that spot and. Most of the times I have bought my wafter rigs in clean too, it's mainly patches of Canadian and a little silk weed and there are clear spots of you can find them some are just a little harder to find and they are the ones I want to be fishing I think 😁

Me🖐️ It sounds like you want to use the hinge due to weed and chod. If you chuck and inline into weed/chod the lead will drag the rig down into the weed, maybe only partially or maybe it'll bury it. You'll be relying on an element of luck to be presented. Luck is not the one mate, you need to KNOW you're presented, every time. Why not bro? A heli is perfect if you're worried about weed/chod/presentation. Imo the 'roddie' rig is the stupidest rig that anyone ever came up with. It takes all the disadvantages of the chod and makes them worse. Avoid at all costs imo.

Put some black foam on bro.
