Oh and i decided to leave the helicopter system well alone..!!!!

When using the inline setup do you using fish it with a quick change link for the hook link? also one more thing do you tend to use leaders up to the lead or tubing??

To be honest in not feeling too confident in the helicopter approach and wasn't really from the start, was just tinkering for the sake of tinkering

The lake has no weed in it at all apart from 2/3 lilly beds

Does this work better than a lead clip set up in this situation or would they both be effective.. and appreciate your feed back

i thought id try something new this season and thought heli system might work to stop the lead sinking into the silt but im debating whether to stick with the tried and tested. I usually fish with a 7 inche hair on a lead clip set up fishing a wafter to keep it off bottom

I have been using the lead clip approach for the last few years which has been pretty successful but as i no the lake is very silty in most places apart from the obvious gravel bars id thought id try something new

Hey guys, would welcome some advice on the helicopter rig which im going to start using on a lake i fish which is very silty but have a few questions. The lake is only 2 acres in size but holds some big carp. the first question is- is the helicopter rig suitable for short range margin fishing? second question is- can i use a small walnut size mesh bag with this rig as i fill more confident with presentation or would it affect the rig during casting? appreciate all replies
