Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ! 3-0 Benteke hat trick i'm afraid

Never done it myself but i believe its not THAT difficult to make your own leads ? Just a cssual thought (considering it wont be me having the aggro )

I dont use leaders of any sort mate , but i wont bore you with that but if you get a chance have a read through these if you havent already http://www.carp.com/topic/3936-leader-or-not/ http://www.carp.com/topic/15772-leadcore/?fromsearch=1

I wish i could say i have no idea what you mean but i cant

Leadcore ? Oooohhhhhhh sssshhhh ffs

Miles too hard for me at the time mate ( not starting the other thing off again i hope ) about ten years too soon .Only took it on because my mate ( my transport ) wanted it . Fished a long weekend every week for 10 months . I said never again at the time . The ironic thing is that there is a lot more known to me about it , including on the internet , now and i feel like i could have another , better prepared go at it . Trouble is circumstances have changed also so its not going to happen any time soon . One day it will though , probably in my old age , along with the week at Moorlands i've promised myself . I can but dream

You can do whatever you like mate it works too albeit a Bream . I did it out of desperation as i was contemplating throwing myself in the River Lea and i remembered Adam Penning writing about it

10lb + mate out of Nazeing Meads North Lagoon many moons ago ... And yes , 20mm bottom bait on an actual Chod rig . An ESP pre-tied Chod rig i believe

Thats why i was pointing out re the silt looking very different all over the country , god knows why since a rotting leaf is a leaf is a leaf regardless of where it is situated:) However this is apparently a fact , something i picked on not just in a fishing magazine (carpology) i believe , but also on a geological website so its easy enough to find . Agree lots with the advice you have given the lad above , Chod rig every time for me just making sure , as you say , the bottom bead is well above silts depth . Also , bottom bait on a Chod rig ? Yes indeed sir nice one . I caught that way myself a few years ago on a VERY hard water a few years ago albeit a specimen sized Bream ( ask Nick ). That difficult it would do CM's head in . It did mine :)

Wikipaedia states: Essex Rig - dead simple running lead set up with appropriate hooklength . Suitable for all types of Anglers who prefer to know when their hookbait is in a Carps mouth as opposed to knowing when their lead has moved.... Failure to comply ensures sleeping with the fishes :)

What he said welcome to the Asylum mate

I disagree about totally avoiding the smelly black silt areas Moose . Firstly it is of my opinion that these areas are areas that merely havent YET been harvested by the Carp and therefore COULD possibly be very productive . Many of my Captures have had smelly black lips ? Also , apparently silt varies in colour depending on whereabouts in the country you are based. Indeed lots of Silt accumulating in gravel pit lakes in the essex area are a yellowy/orange almost red silt wheras in other areas Silt can be grey or even brownish . Indeed the source that i read that , cant recall where sorry , even questions why tackle companies insist on producing Silty BLACK end tackle . Just my tuppenceworth mate

Naturally Glad you gave a positive reply , dont often hear of people using Fluorocarbon in silt or at least i dont People tend to recommend soft braid but i'm also thinking rig camouflage issues .

Jimmy . Crow Green Fishery , Brentwood Essex. Some of the biggest Cats in the country 100lb+ . I fished it myself ( for Carp ) for a long time a few years ago .

Heard not good things about Furnace . Just saying .

Would an Essex rig with a very light lead , say 1/2 an ounce , and a long soft ghost hooklink work here fellas ?

Agree totally Dal , i think he'll be a very successful manager in due course .However , ensuring clean sheets against the bottom 2 teams in the league isnt something i want to be seeing from my team at this moment in time . Especially at home . Im thinking CM has missed my point on this occasion having read the last paragrapgh of the Dudley Dinosaurs latest Faux Pas above

THIS on the other hand , is utterly hilarious . Sam Allardyce thoughts on the Burnley manager. "Sean is his own man and he knows what he wants from his players,” Allardyce told West Ham’s official website. “He’s sticking to his original plan because he thinks that’s the best way of doing things. “Perhaps I’m a little bit more flexible in terms of adapting to the teams that we play and the threats that the opposition face.” Expect another 100% of effort then shall we Sam ? :)

That IS sad

All the signs at this end say that he is staying mate.David Gold is getting all sorts of abuse on twitter . Bang out of order imo cant condone that at all .

Here we go again ffs . Why dont you just try to win you total ****** http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/football/video-1180048/Sam-Allardyce-Main-focus-keeping-clean-sheet-against-Burnley.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
