Leader/Leadcore

I fish it the same way nige, which I why I couldn't understand the issue. Having read beanz' post it makes a bit more sense though.

Surely if a standard rig is used the lead will be the same distance as any other rig presentation, be it bolt or running?

Getting bites but not hooking?!

Another way I lengthen the hair is a piece of dental floss threaded though the hair loop. Thread the bait on then tie off with a bait stop.

Very well angled emmcee. Glad to see you got the hang of uploading photos too. -
Fox arma points for me. Nice strong gauge wire and sticky sharp.

Barbed vs barbless

The initial 'bite' from the hook would be caused by the fish trying to eject the hook. This would be enough for the line to peel from the spool as the fish runs with no resistance. Then as you strike this would set the hook down to the curve. That's always been my thinking with running rigs anyway. I don't think the lead will have much influence as the hooks initial grab happens before this. As previously said, I could also be completely wrong though...

This was also my first thought. My thinking being the closer the hook to the bait the further into the carps mouth it will travel before being ejected.
