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
-
How about putting a really small split shot on, then molding a bit of putty over the shot
-
Thanks, i will look out for it, i enjoyed in pursuit
-
what is the knot to be used for?
-
"2-3inches of braid" think the op said no braid
-
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
-
is there really any need to use the chod? just asking
-
looks pretty good, agree about the bivvy
-
try doing a search on here for chod rigs, there is hundreds of threads

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
-
please stay away from leadcore, the very fact that a huge amount of lake owners have banned it from their waters tells a tale in itself try tungsten tubing or synthetic leaders
-
most people that use the chod tend to go for as short a hook length as poss

I dont see that you do not like his style of writing, he is far from a "whinge" yes a little eccentric but entertaining and not boring

i have read it about 3 times, very good like all his books
-
i would say when fishing over silt a long hooklink can be a good idea
-
same as ^^^^^^^the most carp are caught on the most basic rig
-
which river are you thinking of rob?
-
Me i dont live nearby, thats the problem why i did not fish it last year, i had membership but ended up at willow pool instead in nene valley after that huge common its about a hundred mile trip for me

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!

esp crystal, in 10 or 12lb............jobs a good un
-
yep i read that as a kid, also shane about same time
-
better than Terry hearns books?
-
you dont need "the latest rig" just stick to a simple one with a decent bait and look for where the fish are
