  1. You really sure about that? It is possible, and quite easily. Instead of attaching the rig to the swivel by a direct knot, then you can attach it via a "loop to loop". Works with Mono and braid, although I do worry about the loop knot with fluorocarbon. I have a selection of rigs in my Rig bins already baited with Air Dried baits or pop-ups. To be honest it takes as little time to tie a new mainline to swivel knot as it does to get my fingers inside a quick link to open it. On top of that because I'm experienced enough to know about it, I also dry anything that gets wet before I attach PVA. I make up bags or mesh ready and often have some already made up in the bait bucket. I can then attach them to the hook and/or lead clip after drying the end tackle. Easy enough in the rain or in the winter. In fact the last 2 trips I have been on the rain was heavy enough that PVA was a nightmare whether it was made up or not. I did also point out that a quick link can't swivel, which may increase the possibility of line twist. Rod out the water a lost fish? Merely a take you have not yet received, and a rod out the water being properly prepared is worth the inconvenience of it leaning against the bivvy for a few minutes. The quicklink i`m talking about has a little protruding bit so the swivel can come off quickly, I make my rigs with svivels attatched. Thanks for the constructive critisisms, see you.
  2. jemsue5 And that response helps how ? Does it show where my comments are wrong NO See you
  3. The quick link cant swivel, it allows the swivel a right left movement, thats it. attaching the mainline directly to the swivel means you cant, prepare and change rigs that you have baited, pva`d without retying the whole rig, experienced carpers in winter fishing should already know this. So should those fishing in nonstop rain. Edit: rod out of the water is a lost fish....
  4. I dont do all caps as its refered to as shouting
  5. quick change links connected to your mainline then your hooklink means you can change your hooklink quickly
  6. I would say mines a running rig, once the carp takes the bait , as the quick change link comes out of the safety clip, and on a snag the weakest point is the knot to the quick change link so everthing falls safely away, the carp is left with just a short hooklink which it can get rid of itself in most cases.
