  1. have a look on the forum on that website given above mate, it's specifically for the lake
  2. have a look at acorn carp fishery if you haven't already, does night fishing too.
  3. agreed i use the drennan super specialists, very light but reliable hook. £1 a pack is a great money saver!
  4. I don't think it has ever tangled on me either, so long as you leave some coating on the middle section of the rig. I find soft braid always tangles on the cast.
  5. If it's really a pain to get right, you could just not use it, i doubt it will make much difference to your catch rate.
  6. If they are working, don't change them! unless you go to a venue that needs a change. Otherwise you might start messing with your head with all the rigs available when you dont need them.
  7. i use korda wide gape B hooks in size 10 and rarely have hook pulls but i suppose they are a large size 10. How can i tell what size hooks are suitable for my water ?
  8. http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=27977 Given this a try?
  9. I have deicided that i will buy pre-made for some time to perfect my rig making as they are not great!!! and i will just use mono in future i found braid hard to tie knots with so hopefully my daiwa sensor brown line i just ordered will do the job for now.Cheers.
  10. I just did it was awesome lots of good fish and surprisingly more common carp than mirror carp!
  11. are you saying i have to use shrink tube to keep my hair algined?
  12. Looking around i have noticed that you can get the korda IQ hooklink stuff extra soft or just normal . Which one should i use? i don't really understand the different version thing, would the extra soft break easier?
  13. Ah that was my question is it better to use braid or monofilament? or is it personal preference?
  14. one other thing baring in mind i'm still beginner but i don't understand why i can buy lots of monofilament hooklink line for cheaper than small amounts of braid does everyone here use braid for making their hair rigs or this monofilament stuff?
  15. i guess i was lucky the other day when i caught my pb with a 7lb line difference! that's buying pre-made hair rigs for you, they had none smaller than 15lb! and my mainline is 8lb. Just a quick thought i was thinking of perhaps getting stronger mainline what would an 8lb mainline be able to catch up to?
  16. There are lilys scattered and the bottom is silty mud and the carp only go up to about 15lb i think.
  17. would it be sensible for an 8lb mainline to have a 15lb hooklength or does it not matter?
  18. are those braids? thanks for hewlp.
  19. Well i've been buying pre-made hair rigs only to find how bloomin expensive it is turning out to be as they get broken and lost very often! but i look at the braids and monofilament you can use to make them your self but they cost alot for only about 10m of line. Does anyone know of any reliable material for hair rigs that isn't too costly? I heard sufix magic touch is a good monofilament or should i be using braid for hair rigs?
