i tend to usually fish a bolt rig and a running rig but i've found that when casting the running lead it tends to wrap itself around the bomb if that makes sense!
No it doesnt

I use putty ALL the time. You can critically balance the pop up loads better than them poxy clip on Fox weight thingies or shot (which are for amateurs BTW
) -
I wouldnt use any other hook than a size 10. I match my hooks to the size of bait im using, irrespective of what size fish im after. I would rather have balanced tackle than something that doesnt look right, i think its down to confidence.
My old man says im too much of a perfectionist but what can you do?

What gets me is that, anglers always blame their rigs if they are not catching. When i expect is its not their rig, its their location that is all wrong. Get your location right whilst fishing with a decent bait and im positive that 90% of the time you will catch with a standard, simple knotless knot arrangement.
And that is a fact!
When anglers have to resort to tying the flashy rigs with all the whistles and bells on it (which the majority of the time have been devised for a certain fish, in a certain lake, for a certain fishing situation), then maybe they should think again about trying to be fishermen

lets rename this thread ''banter'' sin as your all ganging up on me. wen wo a arogant?
Is this chav language? Or cant you spell the queens English?
Or is it really true. The UK society is actually dumbing down!!!!!

adamk.....just noticed your "location"........not conducive to getting any further with your fishing
in your long carping career (both years
) did it occur to you to try humble as an approach???? twonkPMSL
I saw this last night and thought the same..... sort of. I cant type what i actually shouted at the screen though. It wasnt pretty i give you that

And of course to protect the fish from the line lifting scales or causing other damage.
Thats an argument in itself. I have never had a scale lift off when not using tubing. You dont use tubing for your floater fishing and no one says anything about that.
-
I cant see it working TBH cos upon ejection, the boilie will blow out first which will take the hook out of the mouth bend first.
But you never know, you may catch one or two on it but if you dont, i wouldnt persevere with it.
-
I dont think the hook will be taken into the mouth of the carp the right way and when it gets blown out i dont think the hook will catch hold.
But you never know
-
If you want my two penneth then what i do is take a good length of bait floss, take it through the rig ring then tie a slip knot. Put your pop up into this knot then tie tighten the knot down to the ring on your hook. Tie a couple of overhand knots in the bait floss, trim the tag ends then burn them with a lighter. The pop up will be totally secure and withstand a good cast to the horizon

Not fished the place myself but have been told there's a large yellow buoy towards the north of the lake that's worth a cast or three
I thought it was a map pin
Beat ya
Yeah ya did

Dan, my combi rigs are usually made of Korda IQ (the standard stuff, not the Extra Soft) and ESP Sinklink braid. Here are the 3 i usually use.....
The top one is my normal hooking arrangement using a 5" Armaled Kik Bak Clear 'n' Green link when fishing over hardish clay and clear gravel spots. The 1" section above the hook is stripped to aid a bit of movement.
The middle link is for a normal bottom bait arrangement and utilises the Korda and braid as described above and the bottom rig is the same but that is used for pop ups 2 " above the deck - note the rig ring instead of the normal hair - cos i like to tie my pop ups on
You will notice that all these links incorporate a line aligner of Korda shrink tube
-
If you use coated braid with a bit stripped back near the hook then you are using a combi rig, but not in the absolute true sense of the word

But like Nick says, can you be more specific about the location etc? You may get more replies that way.
-

surely adding putty or shot to the hair defeats the object of criticaly balancing a rig, i thought that you ballanced the hook with the bait so that the bait and your rig pick up off the botom easier than the freebies around it when a carp feeds over it, wouldnt the wheight on the hair have an adverse affect to this as it is the shot that anchors the bait rather than the hook so then the rig acts the same as just using a bottom bait ????
i dont know if i have worded that well but i hope you can see what i am trying to say
Sometimes the weight of the hook isnt enough to sink the bait especially if you use just a pop up on its own. If you put the weight on the hair and have it balanced such that it only just sinks, then this has the same effect of using a snowman arrangement with a trimmed down pop up on a whole bottom bait.

no worries
How you doing missus? Hope you are keeping Kev in check

They're supposed to be a very good hook but i've had several open out on me now nearly all ESP hooks that i've used have been quite springy.
Oh yes, i have had the same problem with the Big T's.

You dont even need tubing, my running leads run freely on my mainline. A stringer or small PVA stocking bag works wonders for the anti tangle factor.
