  1. i read it when it came out, did a week on broadlands and could not put it down, i was sitting in bivvy till midnight reading it with a little led lamp
  2. these days i tend to use same rig blow back for bottom or pop up, i tie a few up and if i go with a pop up i just nip a shot on
  3. what it means is, if the mainline snaps, can the rig slide off the mainline, this is in case a fish is towing line and lead around as this could lead to a fish getting tethered and dying.
  4. looks fine to me, so long as the top bead will let the rig come away in the event of a break
  5. might have to start posting my lunar images here
  6. Lovely old car, Ian.
  7. I used to put a bit of 8lb braid (soft uncoated) through the rig ring, tie a knot in the ends to form a loop the right length for the bait then add a bait stop after pulling the braid through the bait

    Rigs

    I started out many years ago buying ready made rigs, but i always tie my own these days, that way if i lose a good fish to a rig, then its my fault
  9. in some situations lead core would be okay, but i suggest reading this sticky post http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=53599 also use the search function to find lots of posts on chod rigs
  10. A lot of anglers on here dont have a lot of time for leadcore, so you might not get much response to this as leadcore can and often is a potential death rig. I have deleted your duplicate post, hope you dont mind
  11. I use it on my small, course fishing reels for float fishing and ledgering, good stuff
  12. Passion for angling for me as well just superb, time less
  13. you will find the fuji seats are bonded to the blank, measure first but you might be able to hacksaw the blank both sides of the seat, cut blank but section to length then slip the fuji with section of blank over new but section
  14. A good start to a review Nick, and Gardner products usually deliver, i look forward to your verdict on the bank
  15. ouch i was going to say hope it was barbless but off to A&E suggests barbed, think i would have just cut it out with a stanley knife, at least you know your hooks are sharp, probably not a korda hook
  16. How about putting a really small split shot on, then molding a bit of putty over the shot
  17. Thanks, i will look out for it, i enjoyed in pursuit
  18. what is the knot to be used for?
  19. "2-3inches of braid" think the op said no braid
  20. try fishing with an inline lead and a really long rig, say about 18 inches the lead will pull into the silt but hook bait will sit on top if you use a nugget of foam on the hook
  21. is there really any need to use the chod? just asking
  22. looks pretty good, agree about the bivvy
  23. try doing a search on here for chod rigs, there is hundreds of threads
  24. if you scroll through this thread you will see the rig marole leader i use, i put shrink tube at the points i want the beads as leader is very thin http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=44395&highlight=

    Chod rig

    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
