blimey nick i couldnt fish effectiveley if i was in that bad a mess lol

Braid scisors, lighter, a good range of hooks, 3 different hooklink materials, shots/putty hook rings or silocan tube and shrink tube that will make most my rigs i just but everything though

I've often thought of using a withy with a chod rig, or a chod type rig where I'd normally use a withy. I think the two are pretty interchangeable really as long as its the right swivel for the chod rig. They do the same job, just using a different material. I must say, I like the look of withys. The shrink tubing tucks over the knots nicely, and you don't need to mess around tying neat looking knots in stiff link. Not sure whether the withy would turn as well if the carp took it from the "wrong" way. Really can't think why I think that though. Probably just as good. Im gonna tie one up and see i cant see why it wouldnt though

Yeah just the tubing off the line/leader

still use it combined with a ring swivvel so tangle free realy, it should still spin!!, I dont like my own tied chods there never exactly how i want them with the curve and way the hook sits so thought the shrink tube may be a better presentation

Anyone tried it, does it work and if so any advantages or diadvantages.. I like to modify rigs in my spare time but must be a reason for it

A bit more to it with the worms. No cork involved Ill show you at Cromwell Dan Nice one nige

like the worm idea any chance it would work with maggot i dont like cork etc as it looks untidy the way i do it You could mount a cork ball like a popup as normal. Then just glue the maggots to it? Yeah thoguht that but was interested if the worm idea was better, Im gonna do some work on rig's this spring and hopefully get on a few decent waters to try it out

I was looking forward to underwater 8 but fell short for me, Maby it was that the promo DVD looked so good

I suppose you could put a small bag on on second thoughts, but still not for me but all the best with testing it

Screams tangles to me wouldnt be confident belting that out?

Exactly

It's a posh person's porno It's for the randy commuter

Same here lewis and thanks for the time you spent showing me how to tie the knot got it to a tea now

This is the reason i started using it in the first place the chod on the figure of 8 doesnt sit as nice

top result matt well done, Propper warrior that looks

thanks for your words guys just happy it may have improved your rigs ive learnt things off coops, leggs,iambunn and nige just to name a few so glad i can help

Not a problem guy's glad it didnt come accross as a "your doin it all wrong" post just a tip, learnt so much of others on here nice to offer some advice

Hi fella have a look at this i try not to use the simple overhand knot when using mono because of the kink of the loop as shown in your picture but if you tie the knot like this it will increase your presentaion loads. Not trying to tell you how to do things just trying to add somethink to your rig?

Yeah seconed that, If i get done and i put it down to a pic up 100% somethink needs to change straight away

All your looking to do is to touch it up! your not putting any huge amount of preasure on the hook i hold the file almost parallel to the hook point.

That's two of us that iambum has converted now then! Yes mate i try and learn off everyone i fish with. Iv sharpend my hooks for two seasons now after each cast but only once or twice with the same hook

Thought for a minute you had gone off topic and started to talk about your sex life lewis

I often sharpen my hooks now, A while back at moorlands france i watched lewis (IAMBUNN) sharpen his hooks and was suprised how much sharper you can make them if done correctly
