pherron

am a big fan of the suffix range at the moment - sheath skin - kameleon and black silt I have found that the outer skin on kik-bak does have a tendancy to move up and down the rig once used for a bit

thanks lads

not a massive fan myself - but I am forced to use it in france due to the fishery rules Which RIG TUBING?

I use the ESP bags they seem best value for money too - they seem quite thick to look at but I can g'tee that they are FULLY broken down within about 3 mins, whatever the weather. Never had much success in the cold with ANY of the mesh type PVA How frustrating to leave a rod out all night, only to bring it in covered in pva, that would make me soooo mad

I got some of the new ESP stuff the other day, it looks brown enough with a bit of camo to distguise the leadcore

thanks for yuor help lads! As its my first time, I think I am going to stick with one of two options, the medussa rig and the one where you thread the maggots onto floss and attach using a rig ring on the hair.

stupid question but what colour magots are most effective for big carp? Red or White

thanks for the replay botulism, heard a lot about these clips, how do they work?

Not seen a lot on this forum about maggot rigs, this is something I am goin to be experimenting with over the forthcoming months Can anyone point me to either a web site on somewhere with clear instructions (and pics pref) on how to tie a variety of maggot rigs? Thanks in advance (I am already aware of the 'medussa' rig but would still like some advice on tying it)

first post on this forum, been a member for ages and today decided to "take the plunge!", so HI everyone Read a lot on this forum about different materials, I personally have used weighted tubing in the past (but found it a bit of a pain to work with) I am now using Lead core and think it's excellent but cant help feeling that a clearer and thinner material such as flouro carbon will only prove more effective on the heavily pressured day ticket waters I am fishing Can someone give me the positives and negatives of all the materials above and provide some advice on using flouro carbon as a shock leader?
