Fox amour points without a doubt

pretty much what i thought when i had the RX's, then i went and bought some TXI's. and even if they are on a level par in terms of sensativity the delks still look better and sound better. you cant beat a delkim wobble different strokes and all that though !!

yup il second that i have Fox Rx Digital and TXI the delks are superior without a doubt although the RX's are still a damn good alarm !!

they are a great read mate and il second your 10/10 I fished in Holland last year we treid absinth for the mind meld moment it doesn't work, but does give you a nasty headache in the morning certinaly not recomend as drink by the lake either the forgoton chapters by Gaz Fareham is pretty good read as well, bit chunky to take fishing but its lots of short stories from differant anglers some well known some not as well known and there conquest for certain fish. that way you can read a couple of chapters then get some kip cos the following chapter is a whole new story some stunning pictures in there as well

Leadcore at the mo

you could use the rig marole free fall tubing and there freefall tubing micro beads to create a chod without leadcore. the tubing is a plastic coated stainless steel continious coil that sinks pretty well.

Zammo, have you tried cutting the tag end at an angle so you get a very small point tohelp push it back through ??

what a load of old tosh, when did that rig in the pictures suddenly become named as a litter rig lol, also i wouldn't see this as a particularly effictive rig fished over debris as stated a nice supple hooklink would be a much better option !! right time to get the rig wallet out and start re naming all those rigs in their, might throw a few into the patent office for good measure

Thanks for the reply, very good website btw. I have caught bigger than the fish in the pic, the biggest was over 20lb but without scales I dont know for sure. The best spot I have right now is a dam on the river at Algodones that holds some big carp, could be a 30lb fish there for sure. I am just getting going again I fished carp in the UK before I moved here but I am starting from scratch right now. I hope to have better tackle by next year and will be trying some other waters come the spring. I have been fishing sweetcorn mainly but end up catching a lot of cats and suckers besides the carp I want. I think next season boilies may be the way to go a larger more carp specific bait will hopefully get better results and aviod other fish. Good to know there are some serious carp fishers in NM, where abouts are you maybe we can meet up next season. all the best Terence i think next season one of these could be the way to go for you fella http://shop.carp.com/fox-elite-unhooking-mat

To ensure that the presentation is at its best, you must use it in conjunction with a slow-sinking hook bait. This can either be a purpose-made, neutrally-balanced hook bait or a pop-up anchored by placing a split shot on the hair. you could use a bottom bait but you would be best to try and critically balance it with some cork or zig foam !

yes you can tie you safe zone leader to your mainline in the same way as you would a leadcore leader, although capable of doing the same job a safezone leader will not take up the contours of the lake bed like leadcore does.

Classic !!!

or as above minus the float if you know what depth you want to be fishing! i have a selection made up in verious sizes ready to go but the above method is good for quick changes if you are unsure !

Il second that !!!

anyone on here use Owner hooks ???? any good ?

i have fished armo points for the last couple of seasons and havn't had one let me down thus far!! i hava had simmilar experiences with Korda hooks as stated above and find they just dont hold the point like the armo's. 99.999999% of the time when you take an Armo point out it's pretty little box it's razor sharp and ready to go!!

oh o mate. your gonna get told off when one of the almighty powerful mods see that you aint searched for "what hook" threads. grab your tin hat and run for cover.

In my opinion Fox Armo Point

and is your mate catching as much as you are ? in my opinion if it aint broke don't bother trying to fix it !

Waders are on my list of things to get atm. just short on cash bloke turned up on a work party the other day with a pair of chesties he had bought from Aldi for a £5 dunno if they still do em or not i have never been to Aldi but could be worth a try

lol in which case il give you another tip, you know the stuff people use for packing? you recieve you box and all them annoying nuggets fall out and you chuck them away? they are PVA nuggets the same ones they charge you 4-5 quid for in the tackle shops obviously check one first in a sink full of water just to be 100% but most if not all of them are

about 10 years ago i tried this with 8mm boilies around the edge of a big patch of lillies on a little farm resevoir i used to fish, worked an absolout treat i didn't use a bag around it at all but i am sure if i had of thought about it at the time a nice soupy cloudy mix would have been the best option. i don't know why but i havn't used it since when it could have been quiet handy in other situations !! with regards to the zig rigs i find that with a nice smooth cast and two pva nuggets, sandwhich them either side of the hook u will very rarely get a tangle, after all the lead is always going to fall alot quicker than your zig. and casting a 1,2,3 oz lead will always get you further than with a float !

You mean this one ? I quite liked the look of it. just a 360 isn't it ? good rig but again in the right situation have fun and keep up the tying, it's good to experiment now and then and the above rig really isn't that tricky to tie like them all a couple of goes and you soon will pick it up.

shhhhh the stuff is too good to share
