I suppose another question would be what constitues a complicated rig, I now use a chod rig very often, even when fishing over gravel (during day light hours) purely because I have found the set up up of the actual stiff rig seems to nail carp like ive never known a rig nail carp before. I dont belive Ive ever been done by a carpon this rig, as oppsed to a standard knotless knot which despite the fact that I rate it highly and have had some good fish on it, i know I have been done a few times as well.
Yet I found the hastle of tying and connecting leadcore etcl. to my mainline somuch more frustrating the just setting up a lead clip. I dont know is a chod rig a complicated rig!!?? Ijust know I have a lot of confidence in it and thats probably the most important thing
