another that dont like it tbh

number 1) i hate the word chod just refuse to use it lol. 2)funny enough that is exactly the rig my mate just had a sort after fish from my syndy on, withy pool/chod set up

i think the problem is not helped by keep changing bait? the baits you have tried are tried and tested baits proven to catch carp. dont give up, get a bait stick to it and keep it going in. you will catch. one of the biggest things in carp fishing is being on the fish, if you aint on or near them unless your long haul you aint gonna catch them. how big is the water? what is the stocking like?

Probably not the madest thing you could have predicted Kev. -Computers -The Internet -Women in the workplace for teh love of god no

tbh mate it depends if your the type that chases and wants big fish, i like carp of all sizes and am happy with small and love to catch bigger, but i am not a chaser of big fish. if is was then yes i would loved to catch it, will i pay and go over to have a go? probably not lol

thats a big fish and massive growth rate

lol gary

as the fish takes the bait and hook in, because the hook is already pointing down in quite an aggressive way it will (hopefully) already take hold onto the bottom lip (as long as you have a sharp hook) as i say though i dont use it because quite honestly i agree with you

beanz, i dont buy in to all the "new" rigs and "fancy" rigs so tbh i dont know if it is more affective or not because i dont use it. tbh though the aggressive angle of the hook looks like it would take hold of the bottom lip a lot easier than a normal kk when used for a pop up (which ultimately it was "designed" for)

its because the angle the hook comes off of makes it drop into the bottom lip a lot easier. not that i have used it

not sure about cat hooks tbh, bit barbaric for carp but i do think that bigger hooks AND/OR heavier weights could be the way forward. as beanz said, if they are picking it up then they dont know its a trap, so by saying that we have tricked them up BUT just not hooking them. last week i dont a 24 and had a big time drop back, wound down into nothing. i KNOW i was done more than once on that session, dont know how i know but i just know (its that gut instinct that says i failed) gonna step up hook size first and see how it goes, then if nothing or the same then a bigger mould for bigger leads

no its not the reason for your tangles but imho i would NEVER use it with lead clips. thats a different thread though

how weird is that, last week a mate was saying that is the only rig he uses now, then it pops up on here. to me it is just another overcomplicated rig thats there to catch the angler. in all honesty there probably aint a rig out there that works how we think it does, including the one you just put up. do people honestly think that all these "known" carpers use all these complicated rigs?

agreed ^^^^^^^^^ anything with matt and mick do it for me. proper good all rounders and a good laugh

agree mate, the bloke is getting fishing a real bad name. i would like to use a bow and arrow on him lol

cant work out why your having so many problems, cut it, wet it through lips and thread it lol. never had a problem with braid tbh. maybe there is a fault with the hook/hook eye?

braid blades, have a look on a well known auction site mate

i dont want to knock him either BUT, why do people like this up his own backside so much? god i hate him more than any other "carp celebrity" lol

i am going to be getting on this myself very soon, due a change of line for when i do a week next month. i went onto korda sub-line but not very impressed now although at first i was

tbh i like the look of this line myself so will be watching your reviews

cracking result mate, well done

awful things should be banned imho

some allow it and some dont tbh. a water i now fish allows the barb to be crimped but others i know dont so you better off asking the owner/club/syndi

another esp fan here. i used nash fang for a while but found they went a bit down hill?

dito lol
