Ive been using hydrlink and there floro for years. You can leave all the floro in (stiff rig) make a break in it. (hinged stiff) strip just the end (combi) Use the floro as a stiff hair !! Or strip the lot out and just use as braid I usually tie some rigs up "stiff" and alter at the lake as needed

Ive got loads of it. You are welcome to dig around in my hooklink bag.. there are lots in there

Hydrolink

Well thanks for keeping it quiet and not sharing doug good video nige although recently i have been using the "thinking Anglers" double ring swivels (two large rings) i now no longer need to tie a fiddly loop

thats the way i have been doing it for the last couple of years

i use hydrolink very easy to do, as you say Nige. you can have a stiff, hinged or multi hinged hair if you like my favorite at the moment is the micro link.. i just use the 3lb fluro insert for the hair

That's sneaky. I like sneaky. Ian Of course you do. You were around when it was invented. Of course you do, you're a Brummie. Of course you do, you're a Pikey. Feel free to pick the most offensive to you

10-12 lb depending on the size of fish you are after

drennan double strength

Thanks very much now i undetstand how it all works if you use the search on here and type in chod or naked chod there are dozens of threads wich may be usefull

look up naked chod rig on the korda wenbsite. its probably the best explaination

you can fish it "on the line" or naked as its known. or use a leader if your water allows

if you want a boom section it would be a stiff higed rig

bet that was quicker than searching dans posts all 39 posts

http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?p=564628&highlight=#564628 you beat me. i remembered darth munga had posted on it

agreed

there are loads of threads on how bad they are. try this one http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=47688&highlight=korda+hooks

here is the instructions for the v2 i presume they are the same http://www.attackle.com/uploads/manuals/08f0f333ebbad1fa47f97e63898fb93f4bc614b3.pdf doug

Or you could use the rig marole freefall tubing.

Part of your comment is one reason I don't like Helicopter set-ups, especially with a "naked" line section of light breaking strain mainline. You should be using a line strength of at least 15lb to my mind. Have a read of these, some good pics and ideas here: http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=51296 http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=36456 http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?p=519408#519408 http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=37603 Thanks for your patience. That last thread had a brilliant picture in it and would be my preferred set up. The only thing is, if the beads can release then how do you prevent them sliding down the line on the cast or when playing a fish? This is probably obvious but not to me I currently use Daiwa sensor brown 15lb. I don't want to use a leader so should I go for a higher breaking strain line? The new lake I am fishing has some nice twenties and probably thirties too by now. What size beads should I use and which of the two sizes of sinker? The beads I used on that set-up were 8mm Rubber beads. A small PVA string loop or foam nugget will stop the beads sliding down on the cast, but it honestly doesn't matter that much, as you want them to slide up the line on impact with the water, so that the rig itself settles on the silt. As for playing fish, it doesn't matter if they slide down to the lead attachment, in fact it is more likely to help avoid the trailing lead getting snagged or stuck in anything. I've landed a fair number of fish to over 30lb on 15lb Daiwa Sensor, its a pretty good line, and years ago I did use it with Helicopter set-ups. i still only use 12lb line. in my mind if i need to use heavier i shouldn't be fishing there

I've always used crust on the hook. Since I was a nipper at my local pond. I've never got on with baitbands etc

Agreed. Always feed with biscuit and or pellets. 99 out of 100 I use crust on the hook

GT 80 has had a good following since its introduction in 2003.Sorry you didn't like it because we found it bullet proof. Its not in many shops at the moment because we're replacing it with GT80+ which has slightly better knot strength and abrasion resistance. Original GR60 should be available for another 2 years possibly longer if demand continues. Pro-Carp was introduced this year in an effort to provide a good reliable line for less than ten quid--check the knot strength against any .35 line,and the abrasion resistance is right up there. Hope this helps. Richard. Another constructive post from you Richard. It's nice to see a tackle company respond to posts in the way you do - no overselling or plugging etc. Just good feedback to the members on here, when the questions are asked. This is what, in my honest opinion, puts companies such as yours at the top of the pile. It would be great if others would follow suit. I agree. So good to hear manufacturers being honest. Please carry on Doug

stunning well done
