Could someone please explain to me the purpose of the recoil rig, and how you tie it. Thankyou

Anyone used the hybrid soft? Whats it like?

Yes i do Thanks Nick youve been a great help and i realy appreciate it At the moment suffix synergy is probably the best in my opinion.

Nige, the lake i am planning on fishy is very silty and i feel by using a supple braid it will offer me a better presentation than my usual stiff combi rigs Any suggestions would be appreciated, thankyou.

After some research and thought into mainlines i am still undecided on which to re spool with. I have narrowed it down to these three lines : Berkley big game Sufix Synergy gt80 I would appreciate some feedback and advise regarding these lines please To save making another thread i will post another question in this thread. Could someone reccomend a decent non coated braid and a way in which to fish with it so that it doesnt tangle? Thanks very much Dan

It might help if you state your location and say how far you are willing to travel

I take it you had no trouble? - did it feel safe? did many go? because there was supposed to be a couple from another forum. Any wiser on the stock? whats the biggest? thanks

I might do a session down there myself. whats the bottom like? Thanks!

Hi mate. Its good to see some thought into rig thinking, however its probably unecessary. What is the theory behind the last rig you posted? You could just glue the boilie to the hook if you wish to create little movement. In order to create a rig its needs a purpose, also You need to think about the sort of lake you are applying the rig to. Rigs will not work on every lake because of the lakebed and the manner in which the carp feed.

Rammed with carp to 50 pound .............. i know what you mean though, its not my sort of water either. All credit to rob hales though. Hes created a place which allows instant anglers to catch huge carp, and hes done well in taking advantage of the demand for these waters. Idealy these arent the sort of waters i wish to see created around the country, however i think its a harsh reality and something we have to put up with p.s if all the noddys congruate in one place it can only be a good thing? ....... it means the waters i like to fish arent going to be as busy no offence luthermax.

ooooops! sorry guys i realy need to start reading the threads properly. lol joe

Could you not type in caps lock please (its deamed as shouting) sorry to nag but i thought i would save someone else from typing it You can put a micro ring on the hair instead of an overhand loop, then tie the bait onto this.

I have fished it once but its not my sort of water, however i read that the match fishing their is in decline because the carp are getting too big for the match tackle - i believe they average 10lb plus now. So they are going to start night fishing there in order to hopefully attract more specimen carpers. As for the stock levels im not sure whether they are going to alter it or not. And i have no idea where you can really pitch a bivvy, from what i can remeber its all wooden platforms. Personally i think they will attract alot of people to fish their, however i doubt proper carpers will bother, too many small fish and too many with mouth damage.

Thanks very much Tony thats really helpfull

Sorry Nick you posted as i was typing.
