Well well, farting carp! Now there's a thought. I will certainly bung a tin or two into the bait bucket for future use.......wonder how carp feel about toast.... check my blanking thread you'll see i was outcaught by a lady using toast and marmalade swear i'll use it when i can get the marmalade to stay on the hook

i use mantis and tye both rigs , horses for courses, both are right in certain situations

i only use fluro as hooklink don't they sink?

thats come up as not existing

finaly got the beachcaster to work , had 9.08 common . don't laugh ifell in as i landed it , and then had a 15.04 ghostie not bad as been as i did'nt know what i was doing

Which is why: With a paternoster you do have to strike the hook in. It is NOT a self hooking rig. yes but as in korda 6 you may use it as a deception rig and a single hookbait

with nicks drawing you could cover the paternoster line with plastic tubing as in the diagram set up it has a tendency to tangle

got as far as the house today does everyone really park in that little courtyard

some waters round here totally ban it ,which includes hooklinks

8lbs line is very light for me , and we don't know how much pressure you put on it , tie your own practice makes perfect

theres a leading carp angler who believes his captures are above average , becaause he uses longer hooklengths than most people, but not for your reason, so you may have the right answer for the wrong reason

try testing one to destruction to see what happens, be careful not to hurt yourself though, the thread on the accidents as really spooked me and edited should probably be a sticky

Did you see the carp crew on it , it was where Mary queen of Scotts was imprisoned ,i think its Fotheringhay or something like that he walked a long way pre baited for a week and had a 18 it was 'nt Jan it was the other bloke i can't remember his name.

Anyone fished here or have any up to date info?

I've just bought mantis i'll never learn

That may work out more expensive! With Ready Made (shop bought) rigs you can not change the things that you may need to to put fish on the bank. Learn to tie your own as quickly as possible The things you need to change are usually the rig length or the hair length. You may be able to shorten a shop bought/ready made rig rig, but you sure as heck can't lengthen it. If you are losing fish to hookpulls or hooking them in the extremity of the lip, then you will likely need to lengthen a rig or hair. I find braid actually easier to tie knots with because it is more supple, and I haven't changed how I tie my rigs in over 16years. its like we keep saying practice Sal did and 16 years is a long time , theres no success without effort here

Practice , practice , practice my young friend it does 'nt matter if the hooklink never see's a lake just practice and when it stands the destruction test put a bait on the next on and see what it looks like in the sink ,to fish long term you need to get good at this

Thanks

Saw Des Tayler video at C M yesterday it looked quite pleasant back when monkey climbers were the norm does it still look like that?

ditto and get them knots right

Don't use it modern carpers have moved on, about 6 threads down mid kent bans leadcore i suggest you read this ,you might want to throw yours away

Because if used with a heavy lead they also give added benefits that you'll know all about. I'll get back in my cave! i fish running leads and no lead core i saw the danger 12 months before fisheries started banning it ,my weak link is the knot from hooklink to swivel , hope you will put the carps welfare first now chaps and fall in line behind the Kent carpers who are pioneering the bans or don't you read the posts on carp welfare.

its not fair to assume people would accept a free ticket to fish anywhere there are places and people i would not fish or fish with on principal if you offered to pay me, this point has now been removed 3 times without anyone telling me why , Joe and i know each other we are friends we pm each other regularly, we just dasagree over this one small point yet this post has been removed 3 times what is so offensive or frightening about it , if your going to remove it again please have the curtisy to explain why The reason it was removed is because there was no explanation as to why you wouldn't fish it! He spoke generically so i answered generically,if he had referred to me personally ,i would of answered , i'll go ,but if i don't get the pb he promised he pays

Of course you can - have a bead and swivel under the float and tie a weak bottom link and bomb to it. i can't see much point in abandoning leads at a £1 a chuck 'Franks Leads' work out at about 66p with postage. special offers atm only 55p a lead:) Even cheaper carpioleads 30p a lead but have to pay postage so order lots more to save moeny Thanks for all the preaching guys i have lead clips but why would i use them they are ancient history to us modern carpers so why are you cavemen still using them?

concentrate on the detail the little things count,stick up for yourself my mrs regularly got funny looks and behind the hand jokes from the neanderthals but it used to stop when she outcaught them(and sometimes me ) Good Luck Gal
