Interesting Results, shame about the Knot strength worries with Fluorocarbon.

Not sure how clear this will come up but Pic attached. If you use bait floss or Hair Braid it works well. Even easier if you cut a Groove round the Bait before you put it on. Or you can use a Bait Band. If you put it round the hook and put the end of the Bait Band through itself, you can then put it through or around the bait.

Thats an even better one: http://www.sea-fishing.org/Fishing-uni-knot.html

Try this link. There are a couple of ways to attach it on there complete with Pics http://www.carp-uk.net/rigs/leadcore/leadcore.htm

I use a Uni knot for tying Mainline to Leadcore Loops. Never used the Armaled stuff, got on with the ESP and so see no need to change!

I think they are as good!

In 2 years on there I lost 2 fish to hookpulls, never had one give way, bend or snap on me! Ask Ian how many fish I caught;) :D

PMSL, Cheaper to use the Car-R-Us Nailer Barbless! :D

No Problem Mate Hope they help:D

Easy no problems http://www.carp.com/article2.html or http://www.carp.com/article26.html Try them

http://www.tacklebox.co.uk/ Tackle Box. Complete On-line Catalogue and ordering service I know that they have an International Reputation, give them a shout.

I have actually put a brown piece of Floating Putty on the Hook, and caught! Negligible compared to my posts? Thats what comes of spending too much time on the PC and not enough working or fishing!

Doesn't look like a blabber to me Mate, I like using the Water Knot as the Link, if I fish a slightly snaggy area I can attach floating putty over the Join knot. If a fish goes through the snag then the putty will pull of without snagging.

Be better off using a smaller swivel, about a size 8. Have a look at this thread, there is a pic that Courtz attached: http://www.carp.com/forum/t18618/s.html

Try this thread as well on Rigs, Kryston Merlin, there is a pic of a rig on there tied using a Knotless Knot: http://www.carp.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=17676 If you have a search there are other pics and rigs about.

I use Carp-R-Us Barbless Nailers for Bottom Baits and the Longshanks nailers for Pop-ups. I also still have some B175's which I removed the Barb from for pop-ups.

Nicely said Tim, Very Diplomatic!

http://www.killroys.com/knots/duncan.htm If you tie it straight onto the Hooklength just as a Loop, you can see how it works from the pics. Hope that Helps Nick

With your Hooklength Material Tie a Uni knot at the end so that you have a sliding Loop. Place your Pellet into the loop and tighten it up so that it holds the pellet securely. Attach your hook with a knotless knot and the pellet at the distance you want the bait away from the hook on the Hair. The pellet is easy to change when you need to as the loop will loosen with a pull on the tag end. You then have a ready baited Pellet rig that works well for Pop-ups or other baits as well.

I got loads as a Free Sample when working in the Tackle Shop, I'm only now getting low on the stuff. I hope the Wychwood is as good as I might actually have to buy some more rig material at last. I haven't bought any for over 3years;) :D Another thing I bulk buy or Talk to Tackle Reps nicely;)

Big Fish Adventure used to Market it, before they went down. Wychwood took up the Mantle, I think last year, it is very soft, supple and the Colours match the Lakebed.

Another "Why Pay Tackle Shop Prices type query", Electronics suppliers market it a lot cheaper than you can buy the stuff from Tackle Shops.

used the Carp-R-Us Barbless Nailers on there with no Problems, or I did remove the Barb on Nailers if you are on about the same Lake, with No Complaints from the owner.

Best search is Leadcore vs Fluorocarbon or Invisible Leaders, think there have been 6/7threads recently on this if you have a look

I think that everyones opinions are valid, but I do make sure that my Leadcore rigs can eject the Lead and don't get jammed up. I don't even have a problem with the splices at either end of the Leadcore and they are NOT GLUED as the splice pulls tight onto itself. I use 15lb Mainline attached to the Leadcore with a Uni knot into the splice and have not had a Snap-up since I started using it. The Hooklink is 15lb either in Braid/Coated Braid or Amnesia The weak spot in any set-up is going to be the Knots. The knot that attaches the hooklink or the Knot attaching the Leadcore to the Mainline. I have full confidence in attaching the Mainline to the Leadcore with a Uni Knot and the hooklink to swivel with loop knot or Uni Knot, knowing that if anything breaks it will be the Swivel knot. I have landed Hard Fighting Carp on this set-up to well over 20lbs.
