[Zig Rigs...]

are you meaning that you can use a 1lb mainline because if that is the case its hardly a safe method is it when fishing for carp

[Zig Rigs...]

courtz was just answering the original question and i think he did it well he didnt ask about the history of the zig rig just how to use it effectively

 

he didnt claim that he invented it as long as it works for him thats all that matters and by the sounds of things it does well done courtz

[rig tubing]

hi all

 

id just like to ask a bit about rig tubing if i may

 

im used to using leadcore but its banned but i can use braided mainline with tubing(min 36") and i want some that sinks like a brick and stays pinned down as when i have used it in the past i have checked it in the margins and its looked horrible coiling up and sitting off the bottom and i guess that might be due to trapped air in the tube or something how do you get rid of that so it sinks and what will work well and look good on a weedy gravel bottom

 

any help would be great on this one

 

all the best elmo:D

[ready tied rigs]

for me personally i hate tying up rigs

 

yes i can do it but it bores me rigid i certainly wouldnt want to do it to try to make extra money i dont think its really worth doing as its gonna be loads of hassle for not a lot of cash

 

i mean 10 rigs for 2.00 thats 20p for each rig and the parts will cost that much almost i should think

 

and also the other thing is i have faith in my rigs and i would rather use my own

 

i mean you might be able to charge a bit more than that but even if its a fiver for 10 rigs you still have to tie up 50 to make £25 and that is a mornings work i would think:D

[Setup]

i like korda wide gapes

 

best hook ive used in a while

[Setup]

sounds ok to me except i dont rate the hook but thats a personal thing.

 

i agree i dont like fox hooks so now its official lol :D

[shrink tube trouble]

damn and there was me thinking i was gonna get rich :D

 

still it was a good idea and i will be making one

[shrink tube trouble]

good idea makes

 

you could adapt it by getting a bait drill in the end to save burning your fingers

 

can we get a copyright over here please lol :D

[shrink tube trouble]

has anyone seen the solar rig cone it looks brilliant for getting the perfect bend in shrink tubing ie withy rig making i must get one

[what mainline?]

diawa sensor in brown i am using it on one reel and clear on the other and i think the clear isnt as good as brown so i will be switching back to brown on both when i get around to it the clear seems to stand out in the waters i fish

 

for value for money and quality sensor is the best

 

has anyone used soft steel camo

[Need help with my setup]

i agree with adam the weight if its crimped on will be caiusing a weak spot in the braid and due to the lack of stretch in braid this might be why its breaking

 

use a rubber bead or running rig kit and this should hopefully make this problem dissapear

[Need help with my setup]

i would suggest changing your line and your knots because this shouldnt happen i use a blood knot for tying a line to a swivel and its never let me down
