i went to donnington monsters of rock in 1995, was a great day, we stayed in the fields the night where al the cars parkedd as did many. That year i seen, in order of show, 1.Corrosion of Conformity. 2.Warrior Soul. 3.Machine Head. 4.White Zombie. 5.Slayer. 6. Skid Row. 7.Therapy. 8. Slashes Snake Pit. 9.Metallica. It was great day an night an day back home in the car. we met some right charachters, an on way home we seen someone hitchhiking about 30 40 miles away from it, an we gave him a lift an it turned ourt he had been there aswell. We had such a laugh, me an my two foster brothers, an on the night time we went back to the car sent the tent up, an then sat in the car drinking an having a laugh, an then one of my foster brothers was like i need a sh** an he saidd theres some woodds over there about half a mile away, i was just go in the fielf in front of the car, no one is right by us, they was all roundd fires drinking an dancing, so he did , anyway me an my other foster brother could see him threw the windscreen, an i said to my foster brother when he squats, put the head lights on, so off he goes pulls his keks down , an crouches down an an i said put the lights on now, so we did, people round didnt even bat an eye lid as to busy partying, but it was so funny, as just to see him, almost fall over in mid action, trying to put his keks bak on so no one seen him, me an my brother wet ourselfves, he came back the car an wasnt inpressed. He went back an started again, we let him carry on in piece though. Anyway, just for my two pence worth on the knots, i mainly use the palamar, or grinner.

cheers salok, very helpful, but still abit confused to as how do i stop the beads flying up the line, , they did say, in the thread, but i couldnt real,y undstadn it

an dropping the lead off

the swivel isny attached to the mainline. the lead core has a loop at the top an i have tied the main line to the loop, the swival is at the bootom end of the lead core, so that the weight doesnt fall off, but that was just an idea i had for a chod rig, the other i have is tungsten, when i thread the main line threw it an then have a swivel at the end of the mainline an weight going over it, so if i get snapped , then tungsten comes off the line taking the beads with it, so it is carp safe. As im big on carp safty, as we have to protect our waters an our fish. Any rig i use, i always make sure the weight is ejectable an safe,

hi guys, ive got a couple of quieres i would like help with. Firstly chod rigs, i have just got a length of lead core an put a swivel one one end an then put an inline pear weight down the line right to the bottom so that the swivel is inside it so the weight cant come off, an have put two beads on an swivel inbetween the beads with a stiff line chod rig an it is quite shortt to,about 2-3 inches. But now im stuck as to how far i have the beads from the weight an how far the rig is from the weight do i slide the beads right down to just above the weight , or do i have the beads half way up the chod rig, as i have seen a few using diff ways, one operson i know had the beads an chod rig half way down the lead core an then the weght right down at the bottom an then some people i know have it literelly just above the the weight, where is the best plae to locate the beads an the chod rig on the lead core. Seconldly, i have started making my own rigs, an after reading an article in a mag about hooks, the pic they had of a hook was of a rig wih was tied with two diff materials, it looked like the hooklength was made out of braid an then the actual hair was made out of mono, so how do i make rigs with two diff materials, so that i have a supple hair on the rig, as i tried for about an hour trying to figure it out, an tieing variuos but none seemed to look like the pic, so any help an advice on this would really be helpful. cheers jeff
