Im about to start fishing a couple of lakes. One being incredibly silty and the other being a mixture of silty and layers of weed. I thought the best way to tackle these problems would be to start using chod rigs. I went down to my local runs water this weekend to have a little play around with this method as I have not used it before. I've started off with using a metre long ready made lead core chod rig with the hooklink being about 2 inches long with a rubber band as the hair. The hook link is Korda IQ2 which is very stiff which I have curled using a solar rig curler put over the kettle to set it. For bait I have played around with either a pop up or a very slow sinking boilie from which I've had similar success on both. When casting I've been attaching a pva nugget to the hook just to guarantee my rig will end up sitting perfectly and also been carefully pulling the lead out of the silt after casting which I'm unsure if it's acceptable to do so. Any sort of feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
