With the combination of a wide range of rig ideas and the discussion and elimination process I am sure We can come up with a rig that gives both safety and lower detection using no leads or much less lead and I for one will test it as it can only be good for all of us and our quarry so come on fellas (and Gals) lets have a go............we can have a good bit of banter and at the very least get a bit closer than We were to the ultimate rig.

The main theme from us all here is fish care not catching at all costs which is great to hear, the thought of a carp trailing anything that can cause it any harm is one that completely dominates my thinking when planning rigs as any break or snap off ruins my days fishing as the thought of a harmed fish really gets to me, I have been trying to work out the safest rig and the least detectable rig perhaps not using leads at all!!!!!!and the smallest amount of tubing/core possible to protect the fish, using the best anti eject rig and still having a bolt effect!!.........now that is an ask but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Nice one.............I am a new member just testing the waters and appreciate the help.

Leadcore does offer good concealment qualities by pinning everything down but esp anchor rig tube is as heavy as most leadcores, does the same job and is as fish friendly as anything if not friendlier, there is no room for hooklinks tied to the loop in leadcore and only chod or helicopter rigs should be used because in a time where we are using high breaking strain hooklinks the main line will go first and a length of leadcore behind a fish is a death trap.
