I'm nor sure they can mate, they could as I understand it just eat, and eat, and eat - if they chose to. I have seen fish feed to the point that they're eating the chewed up tigers they've just crapped out!!! Now that's what I call recycling lol!!!

No arguments, this is a healthy debate lads👍
-
Ah but carp cannot fill themselves..... they have no stomach, just a digestive tract, therefore food just passes through them. I think we're all agreed that unprepared particles are a no-no all the same. Euro Aqua by any chance lol?
-
For sure @elmoputney, I don't use the multi a lot but it's no secret it's a fantastic rig. Perfectly suited to weedy waters in the area you're fishing too👍
-
Good man, looking much better mate👌 I think we all know when something is not 100% right. It's those that act on that that catch the kippers👍

You will learn very quickly on St Ives that for the sake of a hook stop that's worth about 10p it is not worth working around little mistakes. Just start again mate. Not worth it. p.s. you're right, the first hook stop is upside down. Those lakes are not easy. 'Close enough' with any aspect of your fishing is not good enough imo. Cut the hook stop off and do it right or start again from scratch bud, it's a 5 minute job.

Totally mate, scary innit?!!!!!
-
I can guarantee you lads, we get done regularly on ALL rigs 😫
-
It can't move on the cast, there is no vector to move the hook. However, if you get done, the hook can move freely which will ruin your presentation and it's likely you'll not know about it. A resetting rig is a must for me.
-
Spot on, that's key.
-
My pal field tests for them and has done well on the test bait. No idea what it is though bud.
-
Nash Twister I think mate.

@muftyboy, is there a reason you're after a milk protein mate? Is it because you're worried about fishmeals turning over the course of the week or do you just like milk protein baits?
-
I get in trouble with my Mrs because when we drive past a lake I'm never looking at the road ahead😂
-
Exactly 👍 Just walking a water should be exciting. Hell, I get a buzz just thinking about the lake lol. If that's not there then what's the point.
-
@oscsha, they don't appear to do a milk protein bait dude? It's all fish and nutmeals?
-
Trent Baits SSD PRO9. I use Trent for all my boiled baits. Their Freshwater Shrimp is the best bait I've used, it's a bit special. But it's a fishmeal.

Stop going mate. One of two things will happen: 1 - You don't miss it, in which case not going is a win. 2 - You miss it, ergo the bug is back. Win. It's supposed to be fun, if you're not enjoying it just stop going buddy.

Hard work but very rewarding buddy. I'm due to go fishing tomoz, just a day session, for the first time since the wee man joined us. I came off my bike 2 weeks ago however and have a nasty chest injury. Plan is to head over later today to bait up. The way I see it if I'm able to spod, I'm able to fish, Time will tell.
-
Absolutely buddy, no good putting all your eggs in one basket, you have to be adaptable to really succeed on any water.
-
The biggest risk is other anglers spotting it and capitalising on your hard work. Carp can make it very obvious what they're up to when feeding on a spot surrounded by weed. Hopefully you'll pull it off mate, best of luck to you.
-
Spot on, that's the one situation where the rig comes into its own. I think people are slowly realising its not the chuck-anywhere rig that they once thought it was. There are better rigs for every single situation other than the thick weed scenario mentioned above.
-
See for me the chod rig is only useful on spots that you literally could not present on with any other method. I can't see why anyone would cast one out otherwise, the compromise in mechanics are clear as day to see, the only benefit to it is it allows you to get bites from spots that couldn't otherwise be fished effectively.
-
I think the screamers occur when a fish panics i.e. when they hook themselves against a lead and bolt. With the chod they don't really do that, rather they take the rig and it slowly penetrates as it moves up or down the leader. Now I think about it I very rarely, if ever, get a screamer using chods (not that I use them a lot). Ultimately it doesn't really matter to me what the run is like, it's landing the fish that counts.
