Fishery owners and bailiffs should and must try and stamp out the use of dangerous rigs by checking ALL anglers rigs. It's been said soooooo many times before, EDUCATION is what's needed whether the angler is a beginner or experienced. Don't anyone say that all experienced anglers always use safe methods of catching fish, they don't. Even some of the experienced use methods to catch fish at any cost. As regards what an angler pays to join a syndicate or to fish a day ticket water doesn't mean that he/she is a responsible angler. Just means they they can afford it.

Apart from fish care, which is paramount, other anglers have to be considered. If your mainline breaks it could leave a whole lot of line in the lake which would undoubtedly impede other anglers.

I've never and never will use leadcore but I do agree with the above statement, and no I'm not inexperienced nor faint-hearted, it's just my fishing doesn't include leadcore, and I have seen what happens to fish where inexperienced anglers have used the stuff. I hope the advise given is listened to for the sake of the fish.

Start at one end of the tube and feed the line through, making sure the line and tube is dry and kink free.

Amnesia or mono for me.Haven't used braid for ages.

Certainly is strange what you can catch Carp on.

And a lot of Carp with wind I always wondered why they bubbled so well Just thought, this could solve Del's problem finding fish in his new water. Spod out a few kilos of beans, soon see where the are then

And a lot of Carp with wind

For winter fishing I will have quite a few ready tied,gets hard to tie rigs when you can't feel your fingers. In the warmer weather I just tie them up when required,but will have a couple already made up if one needs changing during the night.

Is there such a thing as a rig that hasn't already been invented and used? Be interesting to see it and compare.

Have a read of this,it might help http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/Carp-Fishing-Articles/carp_Fishing_in_Weed.html

How thick is the weed and what sort is it?

Never had a problem with the grinner knot

I've lost fish in the past which i am conviced was down to using normal backleads.I tend to use flying backleads most of the time now.

There aren't many rigs around that haven't been used many years ago.They just reappear as a different name.
