This reply is slightly related to carrots. Where i live, there is a carrots processing plant, and during the washing phase, water is discharged from the plant into a nearby dyke. The water is clean, but occasionally bits of mud and carrot used to be flushed through this pipe. I noticed and fished this dyke and found bream, mostly double figure swim around this pipe. Why ?? The typical answer would be oxygenated water, but i have seen them take the tiny pieces of carrot, and hence me using small pieces on a hook. I have taken bream up to 14lbs from the dyke that is only 2 metres across. So if it works for bream, it should work for carp. I would love to see if anybody catches using carrots. It could well be the new bait...

Have a look at there website. Just Googled it, and there is some good gen on there.......

I think if he done away with the tubing completely, used slightly thinner line and possibly get around the loop coming off, by super glueing a small rubber bead or float stop. Then he could be onto a winner....

I give him 10 out of 10 for trying. That is what it is all about trial and error, and god have we all made some errors in the past, myself included. But does it look right........... If there is any doubts about it, don't go with it..... But as i said sorry, i always say what i think..

You are joking right............. Sorry if you take this the wrong way, but that is the worst tied rig i have ever seen. I think you should watch some of the Korda Underwater Vid's. I think your rig will catch fish, but not many............. Too much tubing, loop will fall of the end when bait rotates...... Sorry but no.....

I too went to Norway and Denmark with the RAF. We spent most of the time in Bodo, Norway and i went up into the mountains to fish for trout and in the fjords for cod, coalfish etc. - No Carp.... Denmark we stayed in Copenhagen and if my memory serves me well there was a fantastic trout lake about 30 mins on the train. But i asked around if there was any carp fishing, and the reply was that the occasional carp would turn up in the rivers but not any real size, like wildies.

That depends greatly on where you are fishing, what is the bottom made up of (gravel, silt etc) what baits you are planning on using. We need some more info, to help us answer you original question.
