Whats the difference?
some of the older members/ carpers get adjitated as is it was originaly called the silt rig but then fshionable reinvented and renamed by the "known" anglers of today summat like that
I agree with zander1, If you younger carpers google the word CHOD, it has no relative meaning in anyway to do with carping.I have been using this type of rig since the late 80's,I used to use it when fishing between gravel bars were silt collected, as with a lot of rigs that are around at the moment.They just variations of old rigs. I can not see how the rig tube on the hook ( in the picture) helps in anyway to improving hooking .As for the rest of it, it is over engineered.The conker on the end I would think is a home made lead and could do with mix of lead coatings rather than just brown.It is very worrying that these kind of rigs are being used,I saw a rig the other day i think it was called The Tungsten Ball rig this was from well known tackle manufacture, what a load of rubbish.
