do you think that you could send me that two blanked, i was thinking of using it but did not really know how to make it!!!

if you use a heavier lead the lead will stay ontop the bottom of the lake bed and this will be better when a fish picks up[ the bait and moves because it will give you better indication. you said erlier that you never get screaming runs, if you do i would opt for a bolt rig. without complicating things with clips you can use a inline. you would set up your rig exactly as you have said but the but the swivel would push inside the lead and fix it on. this will make the fish bolt when it picks up the rig. as for the rejected takes, with the rig tube you are using you could put some on the shank of the hook and create a smooth small bend of about 45 degrees and this will help the hook flip over in the carps mouth and hopefull result in more fish on the mat

to be honest mate your hooklenth is probly not getting tangled on the cast but when you retreve you hooklenth, all i can suggest is that you try and reel in your hooklenth really slowly and see if it is still tangled. if so then try using a stick on the hooklenth and then it wont get tangled.

is that heat shrink on the shank?

sorry not very well worded, what make do you use for all of the above? thats better:D

what do you use for your, coated braid, braid, flurocarbon?

if you could that would be much appreciated

right i want to make a bottom bait rig and a pop up rig, i know how to make a basic rig with the materials i have but want to make a bit of a better rig, i have coated braid, korda wide gape raptor long-shankx rig rings any suggestions, in every other recomendation i have had the yahave said to use heat shrink tubing do i need this?

corn and vitalin

did you find tht to short or was it ok?

what is the shortest hooklenth you have ver used? from hair to swivel?

here are those fish mate a 20 and a 22 chuffed to pieces http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=9/26214534140.jpg&s=x7 http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=9/26214512928.jpg&s=x7
