I see most rigs show tubing above the hook link can I ask what the reason is for this ! and how far would you have the tubing running along the main line or am I mistaken Cheers

cheers for this it helps a great deal Pete

Hi this is a great help as someone that has fished for many years but not after Carp. Do I assume that most rigs are a sort of bolt rig ! ie when we used to leger we would have the main line lower strength line tied to this with the hook. A bomb with stop shot or something between hook and bomb. This is what we would have called a simple running ledger. ie when a fish picks the bait up it would then not feel the resistance. Sorry if I seem a bit thick on this but as I said complete newbie to the carp side of the sport. Thanks Pete

Would you have this rig with a back stop bead ! ie hooklength then bead swivel with lead running free and back stop bead I have seen this but would that not work like a bolt rig !

Hi pretty new to carp fishing although have been fishing for many years, I am looking for a simple effective rig for gravel pit fishing. The bottom is pretty clear gravel pit and depth of around 5ft to 7ft. Something simple but effective I guess thats what everyone wants !!
