haha, everyone seems to want to buy this now thanks to a guy on another thread! Like a free advert!

cheers mufty la

yes sorry the gardner one is what i mean. Ok i will take your advice mate, Im glad you said that I thought it myself but wanted reasurrance! Thanks again

Ok as shown on another thread I have looked myself and this is what i want to do my surface fishing with but as the hook length is suspended in the air do i need to use a thinner line or can i stick to my ultima 18lb line? Cheers

thanks mate but got my heart set on that solar unleaded leader now! Looks good but just trying to find some ready spliced/with a loop! Not too good at splicing and wouldnt want it to fail! Cheers anyway!

If you reel in any weed from 20 meters out or wherever you are then hold the weed from end to end to see APPROXIMATLY how long the weed out their is.

Perfect mate, just what i been looking for! Now how do I hold beads on it just enough to stop the chod slipping up the line but enough to come loose if mainline snaps?

thanks mate will have a look at that when i get home!!

cheers lads! Dont really like the idea of tubing though. Is their anything else? Like a fly fishing type leader? Infact do you even need to use a leader? Also If i bought some 30lb fluoro and tied it onto my main line with a loop to loop would that work? But how would I keep the beads securely enough where they dont fall off but will do if required under pressure?

Ok so I have recently STARTED using the chod rig. I used leadcore ( i know some people dont like it)- but now I dont want to use it anymore myself plus the fishery im going to soon doesnt allow it. So Ive had a look around and cant find anything on how you actually do it without leadcore I know you can get a flurocarbon leader? But which would you recommend? And how do the beads fit nicely onto it without slipping of or is it a question of putting the bead over some silicone tubing??

ive done it now lads! thanks alot, big help from all of yas

nice oen lads, i dont want to buy them ready tied done that for too long now. Im getting their slowly its just hard to pull it tight

now its the knot tying onto the swivel! This stuff is hard to work with!!

cheers this is a nightmare im still trying to do the whipping knot lol, i will do the knotless again and give it a go!

got a problem started making it today, using the tripwire stuff. But its too thick to pass it through the eye 3 times so i can make the d part. SO i tried doing a whipping knot but i just cant do it ive tried loads what can i do? Thanks
