  1. unless your doing it for free, then i'ld say when can i book
  2. PLEASE, don't make comments like that. I can think of no end of double entendres to go with it, so I'll just hope the jokes blow over quietly When it comes to Snag fishing is this any use: http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=28532 well when you have beans for lunch, sausage and beans for dinner and scrambled egg for breaky. Your just asking for trouble. And will read up on that thread cheers
  3. Velcro'd closed, very easy to push open. A windy night will have it off
  4. not as easy as it sounds when your in a bivvy at 3am
  5. well i've just treated myself to a nash double top 2 extreme so the peak will allow me to keep the door open even in harsh rain, but clambering out of my bedchair bag can still stake 4-5 seconds
  6. Cheers i will start with the kiss effect immediately. After however realising im actually using death rigs at the moment without realising im going to stop immediatly, switching to semi fixed rigs just for the pure fact i need the weight of the lead to hook as im always night fishing at a small lake which i tuck up my bait close to objects, a post and island to be precise. So i feel i need the carp to be hooked before i can let it wonder around the lake or spit out my hook in my delayed reaction time.
  7. Thanks Ian. I've made my decision and its definately down to semi-fixed rigs and helicopter rigs! Ill just have to go down to a tackle shop and buy the parts to make them i guess. Any advice on which one is a better rig to use?
  8. i think i will be going for the semi fixed rigs, is it wise to use tubing with them or leave them as mainline?
  9. Wow, since reading that im supposed to loose my lead on every take im strongly considering switching over to inline leads. I understand that its about the fish and i don't want to hurt them or even kill them myself, i just really, really think its bizzare loosing a lead everytime we hook a fish. That you might not even land i might add. Surely theres got to be another way of putting a lead on other than inline were you don't loose it per run but can still be enviromentally friendly to the fish? (i'ld just like to add, using lead clips means the lead comes off everytime right? i use them myself at the moment but i think i push the tubing on too far creating a death rig, apologies up untill now i didn't realise that it did that. I thought that it would come off only when it was direly needed, not fix on permenantly.) Maybe this set up is for me http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/rig-section/carp-rigs/semi_fixed_running_rig.html?print could anyone explains how its put into play in a very newbie way of text. You make it so the lead is secure then when it gets a take it comes loose but stays on the line? correct?
  10. so let me get this correct, your supposed to loose your lead everytime you get a run :S i understood you'ld loose it if you got a snag so as if the line snaps and the fish takes it through some snags the pressure would cause the lead to fall off, but i didn't think every time you got a run
  11. right so a free running rig would be - hair rig to swivel shock absorber from swivel to mainline, then an inline lead. is that it? And yes i think i shall purchase a book on making rigs. Would braid be the best option to go with for hair rigs? adding on that what use is shrink tube? also ild just like to ask what type of lead rig is the more popular? which tends to be used more in the world of fishing?
  12. at the moment i buy ready made rigs from my local tackle shop as i can't quiet grasp tieing my own. Im stretching my knowledge and ild like to give Snowman rigs a go. First off i just want to ask how do i go about making them? does it need a pop up or can i just put two/three boillies on the end of the rig, further more will it fit onto a ready made rig or will i need to learn to tie my own to fit them on? please note im using 15mm boillies? After which im interested in learning about Fixed, Semi-Fixed and Free Running rigs. Please correct me if the names are wrong. At the moment i use fixed rigs, well i think there fixed, this is the item i use for my rig: http://www.anglinglines.com/blog/wp-content/images/2008/05/lead-in-clip.jpg also after reading some posts i think i may push the clip on too hard? is it suppose to lie quiet loose or tight? Im interested in learning about the other two types of ways of attacthing rigs so if you'ld be able to show me what i need to do to be able to create them or if theres a product that has them made up already that i can purchasethat would be super. Also im very interested in the pro's and con's of each rig Thanks for all your help! - Jack
