  1. 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.
  2. Getting rid of the swivel will increase the amount of line twist you get.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. http://www.solartackle.co.uk/site_images/imgPVAclip01.jpg There you go.
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. I'm not sure I understand what your asking?
  9. 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.
  10. pain to net fish with this set up.
  11. Tony since using this have you caught more fish?
  12. They will never snap, and unlike other hooks, you can use them over and over and over and over again. Great hooks.
  13. Gardener putty is what you want
  14. G hard all the way
  15. what make you using?

    rigs

    Not prob's. Your new anyway, just makes it easier if we stay on topic
  17. Wait til the summer and stalk
  18. Could be to do with the way the fish picked up the bait, giving you a poor hook hold. Nash Fang X and ESP super specalist are all i use.
  19. Nash Fang X

  21. It might not be the tubing but the rest of the rig, are you using braid or mono? What hook etc...
  22. Would i be right in saying fluro carbon's line IQ arent very abrasion resistant, this would be a good reason for not using it too thin, in light breaking strains.
  23. Rob who "invented" this rig is already a name in carp fishing. He has used this work on all kinds of venue's from Swan valley to Sutton. No its not the next hair rig, but its another trick up your sleve. Presenting maggots can be a pain, the korda rings are one way, tieing them on dentail floss is another, as is the cork ball set up. The mag aliner is just another way that is easy to set up and works very well.

    rig putty

    Coops is that the stuff you showed me at the social? Pukka stuff, i did get hold of some but havent seen it around for a while. Using the kyston heavy metal, make sure you warm it up/melt it before you put it on and then dunk it to let it set.
