is there really any need to use the chod? just asking

looks pretty good, agree about the bivvy

Do you need to use a chod rig? what type of lake bed will you be fishing over? If you find your self using leadcore, google terry hearns video on you tube or on esp website! if you go for the much safer option of using a synthetic leader you can use a piece of shrink tube where the bead sits, then slide bead onto shrink tube so that it will still pull free, but best advice would be to rethink your rig and go with a SAFE rig

Think you will find esp hooks pretty strong, maybe the kamasin ones are a bit thinner

Hi tinca and welcome to carp.com most anglers tend to use fairly standard no knot rigs for river carp, same as for lakes, think the key to river carp is prebaiting, getting them used to feeding in one area, i plan to have a go at the river nene this new year, hope to get a couple out!
-
have a look at the "fishing holidays" link at top of page a lot to choose from

esp crystal, in 10 or 12lb............jobs a good un

better than Terry hearns books?

what part of france are you looking at, a lot of the french site owners are members of this forum and if you can be a little more specific you will get some good suggestions

you dont need "the latest rig" just stick to a simple one with a decent bait and look for where the fish are
