It doesn't! The braid I use for my hook length is normally used for mainline. Now it makes sense Though I wouldn't use a mainlind braid for hook lengths. It's usually much a thinner diameter, which can cut into the carp's mouth.
-
Why is your hook length going through the rod eyes?

Good memory. It opened my eyes too. Sadly many fisheries have restrictions on hook size.

Whats a chod rig? Some new fangled thing that doesn't catch fish.
-
I was going to say that i've always tied my own rigs, then realised it's only in the last few months that i've stopped using shop bought chod rigs.

What's the lake bed made up of? Clay, silt, weed, gravel etc. More often than not simple variations on the knotless knot (rig length, hair length etc) will do the job. (http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=54131)

Moved into the correct section.

I have the G2s & they haven't missed a beat. One of them even went for a quick swim. Drained the water from it & switched it on 10 minutes later. Worked a treat.

As you describe that,thoughts go through my mind about pva residue clogging the top bead meaning it won't come off the leader. Therefore making this an unsafe rig Good point. If i wanted any extra attraction on a chod rig, i'd just soak the lead in feedstim or whatever.

Bitter sweet day ... Spot of brain picking please guys

I would lengthen the hair a little & lose the shrink tubing. It may pay to only make one change at a time, that way you can be sure which (if any) change makes the difference. -
I would agree, if not for this;

Korda sinkers, providing you don't have your mainline too tight.

Chod rigs!!!!

I once had a barbed hook embed itself into the palm of my hand. It was very early in the morning & there was no way i was going to hospital. So i thought i'd man up & push it through. As i pushed it through i did a little dance & almost peed myself. Not quite as manly as i'd hoped

Kryston Incognito. A very soft fluro that's cheaper & better than others i've used.
-
Of course there is. It's fashionable
-
Yes. 2nd bead or top bead is rod end. Well, it is to me
-
Yep. Just make sure that the 2nd bead can move freely. You can use pva tape to help keep it in place on the cast.
-
What's the point of the lead clip, tail rubber & third bead?
-
Have a look for a diamond threader, if you still have trouble.
-
Isn't that an oxymoron?
-
Mussels, prawns, cockles etc are all good baits.
-
65ft of leader? Seriously?
