Right you wait till Cromwell It won't be of any use on me after you've used all its strength on smashing the ice so we can get our rods in lol

Please use the search facility, it's what it's there for dont you know!!!

it lays different on the bottom have you used it before if so you should no the differents What should I know the difference of? I've used iq plenty of times before, I've used d rigs plenty of times before, no not together though, so what should I know?

Sounds more concave with a convex boom supple section to me

Iq d rig? So just iq material and a d rig?

Wow

That really is leaving us in suspense lol, great reading!

Nash do a double bed you know guys

Another one for double strength, although I've just bought some of nashs zig-flo to have a look at

I've caught on zigs in very coloured water mate, still a great tactic

Cheers

Didn't think of tying foam on, I was tying a piece of shot on with pva tape but it didn't hold well, string would obviously be better, will have to remember to take it next time lol, cheers

I said this a very long time ago, as I refused to use leadcore, I was practicing the " Naked chod" as it seems to be known, whist most hadnt heard of it . I do not use a top bead, I have never found a reason to use one and I use the lightest leads possible and on small lakes I often use 1/2oz leads. I have been told by "experts"that it wont work!, well I must ONLY fish for suicidle carp. Do you do anything to stop the rig travelling up the line on your cast then beens as though no top bead? Or do you just let it go? Which could mean your rigs 30 - 40ft back from the lead by the time it hits the water

Oh yeh

Any idea what section that thread was in that Dan put up with that loop on? Good that was, forgot about it

Yeh I do, there just called chod beads the ones I have. Cheers

I used the avid naked chod beads a couple of weeks ago, before all this snow, and they work a treat with a pop up, well balanced and don't slip on the line when wet, worth a look at I've got them mate, I think. The ones where the rig sits in the bead rather than having two? You still need weight though don't you? I like to fish slack lines and always picture it lifting up where the rig is unless I fish it tight

I like what you've done with the shot on the swivel, never thought of that will give it a try. That's my only concern with the chod (I haven't much experience using them) that when your using the likes of avid stuff like highlites and tic tacs the buoyancy in them is unbelievable so I worry it needs to much weight?

Each to their own but you seem to be over complicating thing's way too much, how do you ever decide what to put on your rod lol? For me it's pretty simple, choose one rig that your confident in and that cover's you for most of your fishing, bar zigs and surface fishing. You can usually adapt the one rig for different need's, like length of it or length of hair to suit feeding situation or lake bottom. As for how long to keep them i chuck mine as soon as the hook's on it's way out. I don't put much thought into the moisture of the knot etc but iv'e never had a problem so don't see the need. If you have that many different types of rigs that you cant remember what's what then you have too many rig's tied up i think

Just had a search on the App Store couldn't find anything by that name, can't imagine it'd be very accurate though

Well done Neil, cracking session!

Not sure then mate, let me know though if you manage to find anything out though if you wouldn't mind

Millride is full of little fish, it's more for the matchmen, unless it takes your fancy obviously. You struggle to catch anything double figures anyway. Is the other pool your on about the one on the other side of the m54 to millride? I'm sure it use to be known as monks pool. There's a tower thing next to it where monks use to live apparantly. I've heard of the odd upper double out of there but that's about it. Could be more though I guess

is it not a syndi anymore then?

How recent you talking? A mate had a ticket about 6/7 years ago
