    combi rig

    I normally just use a standard hair rig or a blow back rig. Never been into complicated rigs.
  2. Been using the Gamakatsu ones mainly but might change over to fox arma soon, they do look rather deadly.
  3. Have only ever used hooks from 6-10 for carp fishing. My PB was caught on the size 10 Although as said already, different companys are sized different and the ones im using at the moment are by the looks of it one size bigger than say korda for example.
  4. Wow just saw that snoasis. Should be good, bet it's expensive as well
  5. If you end up fishing St johns which is the busiest one of the lot I'd say. Be sure to bring lots of spod mix because they really react well to it. Very pressured water and it's hard to get any swims let alone the one you want. I just got lucky someone was leaving the point swim just as i arrived Can't really say much about the tactics on that lake because i've only fished it once but gravel bars and silt drop off points work well. Was a fair bit of weed out there when i fished it so had to spend a while with the marker. I also have fished Oxlease lake which is again highly pressured. Small pva bags in the middle seem to work. But i think that's because most of the swims on that lake only have open water in front of them
  6. Hmm yeah i suppose your right. But I thought the lead clip pack included detailed instructions that made it hard to set it up wrong, But i haven't brought one so just a guess. Plus i hate running rigs
  7. Yes mate, it's called the korda lead clip action pack. Think it contains 5 whole rig components so 5 of each part which is tubing/rubbers/clips(with swivel inserted). You just simply thread the tubing onto your mainline. Thread it through the rubber and tie it onto the swivel in the clip. Connect your hooklink onto the swivel on the front of the clip pop your lead on and your ready to go. In the case of a snap off the lead will come free from the clip. It will also come free if your fish gets snagged during the fight which can help you land a fish you otherwise may of lost. Sounds a bit complicated but im sure with the instructions on the pack it's a diddle Only issue though is if your mainline is old and twisted the tubing will be a pain to thread on. But it's probably time to replace it if it's in such a bad way http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=37603 a diagram of the rig
  8. Hello there mate To be honest if your still unsure about the rigs used in carp fishing at the moment I'd suggest looking at the Korda starter lead clip packs. Fish safe method if you follow the simple instructions and will probably get better hook ups. Very simple to start with and im sure you will be able to buy the parts individually afterwards and set it up yourself (works out cheaper). On a side note you don't have to use rig tubing on a running rig or any rig for that point. Although some anglers don't i prefer to use it as i feel it's better for the fish.
  9. I always use a loop knot as it's how i attach all my hooklinks anyway, and as said it gives movement.
