As a newbie convert to carp fishing, and keen to ensure my rigs are safe for the fish, i have a question on the usage of rig tubing.
Keeping things simple, while I get to grips with things,I am using a running lead generally, without leadcore. Looking at some of the rig tying articles a lot of the rigs use tubing on the mainline.
Is it to primarily protect the fish and to camolflage / pin the main line down?
How long should the rig tubing be?
Sorry if the question is really simplistic
Awaiting replies, and thanks again
