  1. use a korum method feeder.make sure you keep the pole close to the water when you play the fish becuase if you have a hook pull you dont want the feeder smashing through a £2000 pole.
  2. figure of 8 .but add the swivel on first then tie the figure of 8. with practice and nimbal fingers you can get the knot to touch the swivel.
  3. Excuse Me? First point, check your grammar, it makes posts easier to read and understand! Second Point, Me, Top Angler? I have little Desire to be a Famous Top Angler. I go fishing for my own reasons. To get away from the Terrors of my Personal Life, to relax, and because I enjoy fishing. If I catch its a Bonus. I put my own effort in. I compete on MY OWN TERMS! I also don't fish the same waters or have quite the same want of Publicity. Ron Buss is a Good Angler, he has caught more Big Fish than I ever have. He also has the backing of some mighty powerful sponsors and again Good Luck to him. Third Point, I was pointing out that I have been using that same sort of rig for over 15years. Its also called a Shock rig, Running Shocker Rig, and probably more names depending on where its used. Fourth Point, Check out the other people who have seen this rig before it was re-named and re-published. Forgive the sarcasm, I have a habit of it every now and again. PMSL i wouldnt want to see you in a fight nick
  4. i did notice this with a certain knot sorry i dont no the name but i tried a few other knots with it and it was fine. its the only braid i can honestly say ive never had a problem with especially while playing a fish
  5. KIK BAK all the way. and it comes in clear or green
  6. middy make one thats a dark brown its called dacron and u get 20 metres for 2.50 its realy realy good if you can find it becuase hardly any body sels it. plus it takes on the silt so it blends in well .
  7. brilliant m8 obviously no good on gravel unless you can get one that blends in well. ask the balif ofthe water before you use it just incase they have a problem with it though.
  8. thanks for that can any one actually how me a pic of a bent hook rig please.
  9. no not the inturned eye but can you see the bend from the eye till it curves up to go towards the point of the hook.i have these hook or somthing very similar are these classed as bent hook rigs?
  10. is the bent hook rig like the withy but with the hook and not tubing? and if a hook has a bend from the eye till where it starts to cerve under is that ok.
  11. who ever said about toast well in my match i used 4 balles of liquidised bread then out the beanz over the top. ive tried the bread on its own and now were near as good as with the beanz and ive also tried the beanz on there own with the same results. ive realy got to stop giving my match secrets away.
  12. i was keeping that a secret. damn u lol. well im a match fisherman that does as much carping as i can and in a match i had 34 carp all about 3 lb i fed beanz and fished cat meat over the top. the carp love em because there soft i think. i won the match with 143lb40z
  13. got to be the kordas with a few other brands chucked in very hard to decide realy.
  14. dont buy the pallatrax and maver stuff they teamed up to do it a peice of drain pipe. stiff, thick, brittle and it floats lol.
  15. this thread has just blone me away i must of read it four times! some of the comments on here especially off ripslider on page oneare brilliant. this has just mad me totaly change my approach to fishing. but i think that complicated rigs have been made to do a certain job, such as the withy pool rig was developed to make a harder to eject rig. i think that at first on a unfished water we shud use the simplist rig possible then when the carp wise up slighlty change the rig, may be add a bit of strink tubing. as each rig gets wised up to this is when we change rigs over to give another new option to the carp. but i do beleive that rigs are devleoped and invented to over come a problem. withy 4 its anti eject properties the chod and the helipcopter to be able to fish in silt . i dont think they are made to fill magazine pages. but to solve a situation and to fool the carp. when i fish i fish the simplist way possible i fish the more complicated rigs when the simpler ones wont catch, but 9 times out of ten the simplist comes out on top for me. shaun
  16. go into the match section of ur tackle shop and look for a dimond eye threader . first thread the wire through the tubing then thread the line through the loop in the wire then just pull the wire through.
  17. correct about the elastic being to stretchy thats why u hav to point the tip away from the snag in the opposit direction infact. anther good way i use in matches is if ur trying to get a fish in against the wistle get ur top section put it dieretly up in the air grab the elastic, keep the pole up and let the fish pull the elastic. if u hold the pole and let the elastic run between ur index finger(imagine u are casting and ur holding the line just before u punch it out) and the pole this slows the fish and gives it less elastic. sorry im not very good at explaing things but now u hav a rough idea if u can ask some one about it on ur local water maybe he can help!
  18. well the reason i use it becuse say ur cathin 5lb carp then u hit a 10 lb carp with a normal elastic u will bottom it out causeing a hook pull, but this stuf stretches loads so may be not too good if ur pointing ur pole directly at snags but if ur at the side of em and u can point ur pole away from them then yer its good, its called maver dual core bout 9 quid or if ur fishin str8 to snags or want somethinf for 2 quid then try a number 14 elastic through 3 section but keep it loose.
  19. is possible 3 sections but 2 will be ok. with hollow core it stretches something like 6 times the length of a normal elastic and still manages to pull back in side the pole. so keep it loose if u stretch it with your hands and it doesnt slowly creep pack in the pole tighten it so it does.i would probly fish 6 lb top and 5.5lb bottom, and the hooklenth of just under a foot, put only place dropper shot or style w8s on the hooklength. hope this helps.
  20. maver red holow core elastic, 6 lb line 12 hook , hook the fish pull ur top round to the side away from the snags then dip ur tip and w8 for the fish to come to the top then ease him over the net! ps break ur pole down to the top section and just hold ur pole tip under the water.
  21. especially whenu pay over 20 quid to fish
  22. armalead stuff-brilliant
  23. this would be deadly with leadcore because its fixed to the swivvel but tubing can slide of!
  24. i think the mainline breaks and the entire lot of tubing lead and beads slide of the line as well , just leaving the fish with the line and hooklength.
  25. has any one noticed that evry thing korda is a failure, becuase they had a bad batch of hooks, a bad batch of iq, a bad batch of pva. how much more bad batches is there going to be? we can only take so much before we just stop bothering with korda and take are dollar some where else.
