Very easy to make combi links. I use it instead of using tubing at the hook end or if I want to have a soft hair and stiff rig.

Getting rid of the swivel will increase the amount of line twist you get.

Lucky you, the home of carping! I have been toying with the idea of trying to book a couple of nights up there, just for the history.

Yes you can, but to be honest with you I wouldn't reckomend using a pop-up when using a PVA bag. If you do fish it just off the eye on the hook.

http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=37603 Look at the helicopter rig, you set it up like that, except you thread an inline lead on and then tie the hoop on, clip a pva bag to the hoop and pull the hoop back into the lead slightly.

Is this the one that like a helicopter rig, except you use an inline lead, and have a clip or hooped piece of metal running through the lead to clip the bag on to?

I'm not sure I understand what your asking?

By playing fish lightly, I imagine that the fight last longer? IMHO this increases mouth damage and the chance of a braided hook length slicing their mouth. I have seen braid slice a carps mouth quite badly, the slice was right in the scissors, the braid in question was Drennan micro braid. This is one of the reasons I stepped away from braided hook lengths and onto Magic touch mono, although this doesn't suit every situation.

pain to net fish with this set up.

Tony since using this have you caught more fish?

They will never snap, and unlike other hooks, you can use them over and over and over and over again. Great hooks.
