i think the rig is ok but i like to have it stripped back by the hook and i would probably add a little bit of shrink tubing but not with an aggressive curve, i like to use a rig ring on the shank to give the bait movement, hope this helps sam

well the lake bottom has very thick silt and the chod presents really good on it, i might try something form atomic tackle called the chodda droppa where the leads comes off on the take, but before i try that i will try a 1oz lead thanks for all the replies sam

hi everyone i fished my local lake for the day on Tuesday one on a chod on the line and the other on a bottom bait, after only health an hour i had run on the rod with the chod on it, the fish felt decent and after 2 minutes of playing it in it just dropped off. near the end of the session i hooked another fish on the chod that i believed was quite small but that dropped off aswell. i dont know why i am losing them as im using a 1.5oz lead and a size 6 choddy with a 15mm pop up any advice would be great cheers, sam

i tend to use curve shanks with my KD rig but i have used wide gapes before and they do work well, give them a go hope this helps sam

none i fish straight through

i like drennan double strength might give korda kruiser control a go, for hooks i like the mixa's or wide gape's both in size 10

cheers bill ill have a look

ok thanks for the replies

ok cheers

hi everyone, thinking of using a solid bag set up, can i just fish straight through or do i need to use some sort of tubing or a leader? cheers sam

thanks for the replies, the multi rig looks simple to tie i think i will just try a few different rigs to find the one that is best for me thanks again sam

hi everyone, my local lake seemed to have slowed down on bites, so i was thinking of trying hi-viz pop ups, but what sort of presentaion should i use the chod rig?hinged stiff rig? simple rig just stick a some putty on it to pin it down? the list could go on. what we would you use in your opinion? any help much appreciated cheers sam

thanks

hi everyone, i saw on a korda dvd a while ago where ali hamidi said about using a mini spod on your rod using quick change but cant remeber how to do it does anybody know what im on about or what to do? cheers sam

i am using hybrid soft with coating taken off and loop at the end of the hooklink for quik change does that sound ok to you?

i will be using a uncoated braid

thanks for replies

hi everyone going fishing at the weekend and i am going to use an inline lead with a size 11 ring swivel pulled inside, what knot should i use to tie my hooklink to the ring? any help would be great sam

thanks for that, thats what i thought was right cheers

hi everyone when i use tubing i want to continue using my stik clips so i can change rigs quickly. would the best thing to do is to tie a swivel to my mainline then thread the run rig rubber over the swivel, put a stik clip on the swivel, then clip my rigs on??? any advice would be much appreciated cheers sam

wychwood exorcist 2.75lb TC rod

what sort of size leads and what TC rods do you use to achieve further distances???? thanks for all the replies

i am using to stop tangles i am thinking about casting about 90yards

hi everyone, i am not sure how much tubing to use. i need enough so it doesnt damage the fish but short enogh so it doesnt effect my distance when casting. thanks sam

i saw that on a dvd it looks quite good and you can get a variety of flavours
