  1. Check this topic http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=28497&highlight=[/url]
  2. P.V.A and a catapult, or possibly the method?
  3. HMMMM. may have to think twice about glueing knots in the future.
  4. You can tie the knotless knot with any hooklength material, so long as you can pass it twice through the eye of the hook. The secret to tying it is to keep everything tight. Braid's advantage is that it's supple, and will allow the hook to move more freely. Mono (Nylon) and Flurocarbon are stiffer and can be used to turn the hook into the fishes mouth, and are harder to see underwater (in the case of flurocarbon anyway.) As for breaking stain, i generally use a 20lb braid and either 12lb or 15lb mono/flurocarbon. But i will change this depending on the fishing situation. But learn that knot Invaluable skill to learn.
  5. Here, this thread explains rigs and how to tie them. http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=22183
  6. Practise makes perfect. And Courtz is right. You'll save yourself alot of money by making your own rigs. There's plenty of guidence on this site on rig tying. Have a look, and give it a go. You may be supprised how simple some are.
  7. I've always used the needle knot, and it's never done me wrong. Once i've tied the knot, i always glue it with a bit of super glue. This alway gives me a bit more confidence with using this knot.
