I bought a pack of silicon but can't remember which one I had I think its this one. ATOMIC Rockbottom Silicone Hook/Rig Sleeving http://www.englandangling.co.uk/displayProduct.asp?prodCode=atoRS I used to use normal rig tubing which split all the time then a mate put me onto this stuff. It still splits but very rarely, there seems to be a lot more flexibility in this tube. Hope this helps

I would have thought the opposite, it may work on overstocked waters with smaller carp and lots of competition for food but would never have thought it would work with older, larger and wiser carp.

I've tried a few times leaving a rig out overnight with just two pieces of artificial corn and have never had anything, but I have had a fair few when using one piece to tip a boillie. I have very little confidence in it on its own but one of my mates always has 2 pieces on at least one rod and doesn't do too badly, its one of his favourite baits. It winds me up when we have nutritious boillies for the carp then they go and get caught on a piece of plastic

I use the korda Quick change links and have never had one break. I don't bother trying to disguise them, I think a small piece of black metal is better disguised on a lakebed than a chunky piece of rubber.

A few weeks ago my mother was throwing out a box of breakfast cereal as no one would eat it, i don't recall which it was but it was something like rice crispies. This got me thinking, "I'm sure the carp would eat it,its a shame to waste it" has anyone ever blended breakfast cereal to use in groundbait? If its a sugary cereal would this be bad for the carp?
