i always either have a stringer or a small pva bag on especially with a thin flexible braid. never had problems with flourocarbon though and i always use either anti tangle tubeing or leadcore because it protects the fish and helps stop the lien getting under the scales and lifting them up
-
lol so i take it you didnt catch i think when stalkin your better to hide your hook in a worm i cut the head bit of it and then thread the hook down the worm and then just pull the point out of the side
-
simple knotless knot rig mate simple but very effective and if you add some shrink tubing it will icrease the hooking potential of the rig. no offence mate but i doubt the rig is the problem unless your fishing into deep silt or weed. but if your looking to hide your hooklink then try flourocarbon near enough invisible. what rig are you using now
-
yeah looks good i went to the tackle shop yesterday i actually picked it up and still forgot to get it lol
-
if you mean a hook with a slightly interned eye then yes i think that is ok and cant cause damage to the fish but might want to wait for a reply from some of the more experienced lads im asuming this is what you mean http://www.tacklebox.co.uk/shop_images/hksoth4835.jpg

i think thats about right
-
if you go for flourocarbon then it will match every thing
-
i dont normally either
-
i use korda IQ and a d rig
-
to crimp, or not to crimp, that is the quetion?
carperdude3d replied to chrisbonnie's topic in UK Rig Tying
i dont like the look of them either and again its just overcomplicating things just learn a good knot such as palomar or water knot or as salokcinnodrog said the grinner/uni knot. i cant really see the benefit of crimps it probably takes longer than tying a simple knot and im not sure but i doubt if it would improve your presentation -
i av the korda inline method feeders and use it with leadcore and a short hooklength and ive caught millions of tench and bream on it and some decent carp as well
-
looks good yes but again i think you could make one yourself alot cheaper
-
it looks ok but i bet you could make one that looks more realistic yourself
-
i just use 10lb krystonite n a size 9or 10 hook
-
dirty guy:D lol
-
i was setting up my rods yesterday as well i started with about a foot and a half and ended up with half a foot because i kept cutting it down to find my line . thta annoys you as well when you pull it back out and it was a cm away from going through
-
why do we all worry so much about our bait then from what i am hearing the carp are eating machines that will hoover up anything and i mite have to try the beans
-
i wouldnt like using ready tied rigs it just wouldnt feel rite and what if its not the rite length or the hairs to long etc.what when you want to try a zig rig or something
-
korda wide gape and i ran out afew weeks ago and ive found carp r us longshank hooks are good to and sharp
-
i use my teeth but chiped my front one last night somehow and i bite my finger nails lol so im just goin to use a different tooth and work my way down chipping them untill i look like this
-

-

-

-
