Thanks mate,Icant wait to go and try it,Im going to have to try bottom bait and a pop-up see if theres a difference,well thats if i catch one lol.

Thanks mate,i honestly didnt realise how much goes into carp fishing,the slightest change to something could make a big difference.

cheers cobleyn,its looking like the shot on 1 and putty on tother when i get a chance to go mate lol.

Yeah mate thats the stuff its nearly black,will have to use a split shot for now till i get paid,i was going to use it on my main line to help it lie flat on the bottom

cheers nevs,i see what you mean now,so would you suggest i would have more or less success with a snowman rig rather than just a single pop-up?I do appreciate all your help mate

cheers mate will try that out.

Thanks guys,as for what make i couldnt tell you as ive thrown the pack away but im sure it just said carp rig putty,i bought it on tinterweb,i think it was only a couple of quid for a 20gramme pack.Thank you again guys for all the help.chris

hi guys,I bought some rig putty and put some on the rig that i tied.I am pretty sure i heard when its put in the water it will go hard,so i stuck my rig in cold water for 10-15 mins,the problem was it stayed soft but slid up and down the line is there anything i can do to stop this?

Hi guys thak you for the input,I soaked the line for 24 hrs as it said,will this help at all or should i put some washing up liquid on it to help it sink?

thank you saloc,(sorry about the shortening mate but its a bit of a mouthful),I have now seen and read the replies,once again thanks mate i now see what you mean and i am greatful for your time and effort to answer my questions,i do appreciate it mate.

Thanx guys,but nevs come on mate is a snowman not a pop-up with a bottom bait so its sort of semi popped-up?

Hi guys,whats the best rig to use on silt,gravel and weed,as i am new to this i would just use a pop-up every where i go?Thanks for your help,chris.

Thank you doug,i have tied it to some 12lb adrenaline,and it looked worse thats why i put shrink tube on, to try and straighten it out a bit as i am going to use it as a pop up rig.Do you think i should still tie it mate without the shrink tube?really appreciate your information mate.

Hi guys,How can i tie a hair rig without using a knotless knot?my point being,i have just bought some mugga hooks and as i tied my knotless knot and put a bit of shrink tube on,i thought it was to much of a curve and might miss the lip entirely.Iwas thinking of using a grinner knot.thanx guys.

going to try and get out sometime this week or weekend if poss,all depends on the weird weather we are having at the minute lol.biggest carp so far on rigs is 6lb not a biggie but i must have done something right lol.on float my biggest is 9 an 1/2.so hope to put some pictures of a double with a bit of luck

cheers nevs i will tye a couple of short rigs as they are between 7 and twelve inches long the ones i got so thanx again mate much appreciated

Hi nevs,yeah am going to use spicy sauage popups that i bought,i also bought kd rigs so i will use them thank youfor your help but the place i fish is only a very small pond and in most places its weedy with small patches of gravel,oh and i am planning to use a stick mix with them.would this work or should i try something else mate cheers 1 carpkid.

Hi cobleyn,thanx for the advice mate as i say i am new to this,i have only just learned how to tye a knotless knot lol,i have tyed 1 rig with my 12lb adrenaline mainline size8 barbless hook and put a bit of shrink tube over the hook to make the hook turn quicker as i drag it over my hand,do you think this is o.k. or do you think i should try the one you said if so could you please tell me how to tye it or point me in the right direction?as i said before all help really is much appreciated thank you
