I use this method to get round this problem. 1st is tie a set up similar to a marker float, but use a clear in-line bubble float in place of the marker float. Then attach a 4' zig rig. Variable depth & pops up a treat Sorry Courtz, you posted while i was still typing
-
I'm happy with it so far. I use it on 1 rod, to compare results. It's still early days, but it's looking good

Triggalink

It's Nash. Cheapest place i found it was e-bay

Yeh, if Benson somehow swam all the way over from France.... I thought he swam from Holland

You have a PM

I use triggalink on a bolt rig, on 1 of my rods. it's working well so far I usually get 30 seconds worth of bleeps on the alarm, before the screamer hits. I get the impression that the carp is confused by the rig. So sit on your hands, & wait for it to run properly
-
i'd try a longer hair. sounds like the carp are feeling the hook straight away.
-
I never check mine after I have cast cos I think swimming out will scare the fish classic
-
it may be a simple solution. PVA bags work really well in weed (or anywhere else for that matter) tight spot of bait, tangle free & nothing for your hook to snag on.
-
think i'll stick to triggalink
-
thats it. once you have the bait on, pass the hooklink through the back of the hook, get you hair length as long/short as you want it, then tie the knotless. can't go wrong
-
the simple answer is, when tying rigs, put the bait on first. so tie the hair, put your boilie/boilies on, then knotless knot to the hook. hope this makes sense
-
haven't used this stuff, so can't comment. have you tried looking at a few online shops to get a price?
-
hi kezza this may sound obvious, but either use a bigger hook (middy's are usually match style hooks) or a thinner diameter braid?
-
using a mono hooklength may help to reduce tangles

black imitation sweetcorn over hemp for me
-
to be honest, if your inexperienced with leadcore, i'd buy 1 ready made. it's the safest option.
-
i don't use leadcore often, but esp & kryston score gold are both very good.
-
http://www.fishandfly.co.uk/knots/needle/index.html this shows the needle knot using fly backing line. it's the same for leadcore, except you must remove about an inch or so of the inner lead.
