  1. good thinking Are they ment to slide that freely?
  2. Hey guys, Im using a hinge rig, helicopter style...Im using 30lb Fluoro, and the beads are sliding very easily even gravity slides them down. What can I do ?
  3. Ok then they can maybe get moved to a presentaion stick or something ?
  4. Yeah I spent most of last night trying a 15mmbb and 15mm pop. Just trimming away etc, the bait still looks a bit gig for my liking, so might try a cork insert. Who will be the best person/people to have a look at my rig pictures to make sure they are ok so otheres can learn from ??? As I coulnt find a picture of what I was trying to do
  5. Wicked thanks for your patience in this, I know its been done to death lol. Im pretty clear now with what I want to achieve now. Thankyou Any disadvantages of using it with a KD
  6. so both baits are on the bottom????
  7. Sorry to start on this again guys. can anyone point me in the direction of what a balanced snowman should look like?? I have mine at the min so the shank of the kook if floating with baits above it, and the hook is sitting on its point near enough ??? Cheers guys
  8. well I was practicing using some 12lb mono for both ends and altho it tied thanks to the above video. It looked messy and i never put a knot out unless it looks fine enough to be served as a main dish. I used 30lb fluoro to 12lb mono and it looks very neat and tidy, (I would eat it ) So i think my mistake was using the same diameter line????
  9. Hiya guys, Im going to be fishing, fluoro from mainline onto hooklink. Now ive been told the best way to attach the mono to fluoro is to use the albright knot... Can i do it for the life of me!!!! So what are my other options
  10. Maths aside, you have been my personel myth buster today. many thanks for clearing that up, i Hop this thread and your answer helps a few more people that was struggling with it
  11. I think I get you... So they are still classed as a bottom bait?? So would a boilie with a peice of artificial corn be something along the lines of a balanced bait ?
  12. Hmm and I was on the uderstanding that you still use putty/shot to balance the critically balanced baits hence the name.....Can you see my confusion
  13. Hi guys, Are the above the same or different presentations Im a little confused in the difference
  14. I do fish sapphire, and called him this afternoon and said nope
  15. Yeah I near enough overlook a gorgeous lake with a great head of carp..Only prob, no bite alarms, 1 rod only, no pellet, no nuts, no boilies, They hate carp anglers
  16. Hi guys, I am after a bit of local knowledge reallly. Im from Newark and I am wanting to fish afternoons after work sort of like 3pm till around 8pm, but all the obvious carp waters do not allow this. Can anyone point me in the righ direction. Ive tried Sapphire, smeatons, cromwell lakes. Not sure about A1 pits, ive been told its more of a session venue.
  17. Yeah I suppose unless you need to come up all that way, whats the point. Might sound silly but how can you gain a rough indication of depth of weed, if your 20 or so metres out???
  18. Hi guys I bet the more experienced guys on here get bored to tears with the word CHOD when it pops up, but anyway here I go What is the main difference between a normal pop up rig and a chod, im confused as why you would fish one and not the other and vice versa. If you was fishing very deep silt then fair enough chod all the way. Is the main difference the distance you can fish off the bottom ?? Chees guys
  19. Anyone ever fished Ulley res Near Rotherham South yorkshire...Ive googled it but there doesnt seem to be any sign of carp news from there
  20. hmmmmm, Now Im gonna hazard a guess at Rugby then...In which case try out Naseby Res
  21. Where in Mids???? East, west?
  22. Check out the, where to fish sticky http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=27977
  23. Cheers Im going to resaerch some knots
  24. Yeah I saw that, but how do you connect it. Sorry I know im being totally dumb. But all I have ever done is use one peice of braid for hair and hooklength :S (if that makes any sense at all.)
