I use a sort of semi fixed inline running rig, something ive played around with, and which probably already exists, i came up with when playing around with a few bits and bobs. But basicaly i use an inline lead, and put a tail rubber over the swivel which connects to the hooklink, then i simply pull the lead onto the tail rubber (inner of lead is removed) very lightly. This gives it sort of a bolt rig effect, just so it pulls that hook into the bottom lip, but once a carp shakes its head a couple of time, the lead comes back off the tail rubber, which now makes it free running, making it 100% and alot harder for the carp to get the hook out of its mouth.
Hope that may help?

I'd try a quick search of existing threads.
I seem to remember welder and a couple of others discussing NEC lakes a while back.
I think it was this one Cob?
Carpmad, have a flick through this link..
It's a bit long winded but may be able to help you?

That link should take you to Welders profile, then just simply click the 'PM' button and away you go.
I've drove passed that lake many of times but never see many people fish it and have never enquired about it.

My understanding of the helicopter rig is that it don't a death rig and dosnt need a safety clip on the end. As the hooklink is on a link to the mainline, if the main line was to snap then the hooklink should be and to slide back up te mainline until the link from your hooklink runs off the mainline. The fish is then trailing a couple of inches of hooklink and the lead stays on the ground of the lake. Again, of your hooklink snapped, the fish would trail around the hook and you would real in the lead.
Hope this makes sense as helps you?

Yeah sorry pal, should of made myself a little clearer.
No worries.

Yeah but this is a perfect example of carp fishing today cc, I come on here as a last resort for help/info/ideas etc but people come on and ask ridiculous questions, I mean come on? Get on the lake and learn the water and find out for ya self!
Ohhh, i see, i thought that was a response to the bloke asking if you could do nights.
-
man up and go and find out ?
Bit harsh?

perhaps its a scam, perhaps its not, cant tell but it does seem a bit of a weird question to ask to total strangers.
if you boyfriend loves fishing why does he not have his own tackle? or know enough to fish on his own? that bit strikes me as a bit weird.
like ross said, if it isnt a scam and you are actually trying to do something nice then i wish you luck but if you cant, why not go buy him his first rod and reel, you can ask local tackle shops to help you out.
maybe it is weird to ask strangers, but when did people stop spontaneously helping each other out? What is everyone so afraid of? It's ridiculous, at the end of the day, we are only talking about a fishing trip! what sort of scam are you thinking? fishing rod burglary ? Do you think I might be like a fishing equiment thief? It's so ridiculous. I just don't understand people anymore.
Patty there are so many unknowns out there, the Internet is an easy place to be someone/something that your not.
No one is laughing at you, I can assure you, but this is not a post people see often and I've never seen one like yours before.
People will be wary of their tackle, if you truly understood the price of tackle I think you would be wary too. For example, you owned a 6 grand car, worked hard for the money to have that car, taken you years to get it. Would you then give a stranger your keys and say have a drive in it.
Hope you understand people's concerns.

If you want barston type "CarefulCarping" into youtube, ive blogged a couple of vids on there, and Barston is indeed a decent runs water. And most of the carp ive had out are great condition and pretty, had 3 linears out, its great.
-
A quick search on google or the search facility here will give you the answers.
So many people say there is very little around this area, but trust me, there is loads, just gotta do your homework
But to help you on your way, you have a masive runs water on your doorstep. Try Earlswood Lakes

Has anybody seen this DVD yet? I'm not much of a DVD fan, but this one blew my away!
I got round to watching it the other day after asking it for christmas, but got given in pursuit instead (which i already have
). I was glued to the television from start to finish, didnt move an inch. I felt like i was there and i felt he put a personal touch into his DVD, it didn't feel like he was trying to sell you his products, it just felt like you was going into his adventure with him.
Has many ups and downs and shows you the reality of carp fishing, well i thought so anyway.
I also felt quite sad at the end of the DVD (Won't say why incase you havn't seen it) but it was very well put across.
I think it was definately worth the money! and overall a very good watch.

Larford is a very popular place, and i think you have to ring them and tell them when you want to go so they can book you on the lake. Im pretty sure you do anyway.

We didnt even get a nibble from the pike that we where after, and what ive read its quite low stock for carp, so il leave the carp fishing there for the people who know what they are doing. The old boy we was talking to has his picture at the fornt with a 32lb common and a 20lb pike he had caught in the same day. He also claimed he has 97 zander to his name and is trying to get to 100, and also holds the british still water zander at 19lb something, if thats true its pretty cool.

A friend of mine suggested we should try like fishing at Coombe abbey as he enjoys fishing for pike and I've never done it before we thought it would be a good idea to go there.
What a bad session we had though. None of us caught on deadbaits, couldn't catch a roach for live bait, and we seen 3 small jacks in the margins, not one was interested in our dead baits or spinners
talking to a bloke there who seemed to practically live there he says it's a hard water, so looked like we bitten off more than we could chew.Also, silly us fished the most weedy end, which really didn't make it easy for us.
Has anybody ever fished there?

Looking through the latest catches B-1 has had some 30's out this month.

Is this any use?
Cheers nick, they all mention the Fox arma points which no1 has mentioned in this thread, looks like il be playing around with a few different patterns next season to find the one that suits me best.
Thanks all for the help

Ok mate ur a
Hes gave you all that help and now your calling him a square?
-
no dramas mate, what we are all here for after all. i know different anglers have different opinions on the palm test, but it gives me confidence and its not doing any harm, so where is the problem there? i have read from some "big name" anglers in magazines that the palm test is irrelevant but it makes me happy so thats that.
regardless of hook or rig choice, you are looking for that "flipability" so it spins and finds a hookhold as soon as the carp takes the bait.
Yeah, completely agree, just want that hook to flip round, which i feel i could do already to a certain degree, but using the korda hooks, how many flipped round and didnt penetrate the fish's mouth leading me not getting a fish on, so was hoping to find a decent hook that are reliable and effective.
Cheers again mate.
Ross.

Thankyou ouch for the detailed response, I actually tie my rig like that so its nice to know I'm going in the right direction, that palm test is also very effective, can't wait to get tying some new rigs and testing them out.
-
Cheers Cob and ouch.
You both seem to mention the curve shanks, and most of my fishing is on bottom baits they seem ideal, and I've never used shrink tubing over the eye of the hooks.
With wide gape hooks I did put shrink tubing on the curve of the hook to make the point heavier, is that needed with curve shanks.
Cheers again for the help guys

Same as me mate, after playing around the other day at home, I came up with that, so I tried it one morning before work last week and had 5 carp, worked great.
