Wrasbury?

Glad to help, really try to keep everthing as simple as possible, as the more complex the rig and lead set becomes, the more there is to go wrong

After a 2 hour chat with my friend tonight about safe rigs or rig, we came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a 100% safe rig, even a pure running is not safe, imagine a break or cut off above the lead that gets snagged or tangled above the lead will not allow the lead or rig to come free, all we can do in reality is use the safest and simplest rigs possible!

Well done nice Carp!

Lovely 46lbs fully scaled mirror too -
Willow, I would help if I could, must be someone that knows something, Or is it secret squirel???

No Less, as the stop will pull off very easily, as I said, after a take the stop has moved 2ft up the main line, but has enough resistance to be a true bolt rig!
-
All I use is a rubber float stop, and it will slide off easy, as after a take it can be 2 ft up the line, so moves very freely
-
I use this 99% of the time, The shocker rig is not a new rig, as a matter of fact it was the original bolt rig from the early 80's and still works it's magic! However all I use is hooklink>>>swivel>>>bead>>>running lead>>>bead>>> float stop. If the line parts for any reason, the float stop will pull of the line, easily releasing the lead
-
I too Keep it as simple and effective as I can, Running leads with no tube or leader

Hi, Why not join CDAA then you could fish Stonar Lake fish to 30+ and many lovely Carp
-
Why do you loose so many Nick, I land 99% of hooked fish? Rods maybe?

when you fish a running rig what do you need after the lead
noknot replied to samcfc's topic in UK Rig Tying
Quite right if you use your brain you will not get tangles. Casting correctly also helps a great deal. I will also say that on experiments I did two or so years ago every baited rig I cast to the far side of a pool [50metres] was not tangled on the bottom. However on retrieval 4 out of 11 were tangled. So do not assume you are getting tangled on the cast. Very true Frank, But it's no confidence booster -
Go for it! He who dares wins

Have you seen anyone fishing? Does it look fished, ie muddy paths and swims? If not you could fish it? That way you find out for sure
-
Matt, You know my rigs are "simple" but In 25 years I can say I have not lifted a scale from a Carp! Tubing was used as "anti Tangle" when we started using Dacron and latter braid............

Spot on Sam, well done -
Hi Ed, I fish this rig 99% of the time, however mine has no tubing/leader. Hooklink>>>swivel>>>bead>>>running lead>>>bead>>>float stop, Simple as but very effective! I fish this with a 5-6 inch stiff rig and is suitable for most bottom make ups, hope this helps!

Sorry Ed, What are you asking???
