Aaaalso, someone said 'if its a clear bottom why not use a hinged stiff rig?' I would like to know why, where's the real difference realistically, or is it just that everyone hates the chod rig? No offense

I'll admit defeat, I wanted to hear I could make the short rig work but only to try to think outside the box since to be fair it does often pay to be different, fished with my dad for years and I fished the hinged stiff this weekend and he fished the paternoster above, to my humiliation he bagged the fish I was after with a proper Cheshire cat grin! However, my opinion is that with my stiff link being VERY stiff, would it not make the link sit at a slope when the lead buries? Also why is leadcore so dangerous? I've never used it as im a tubing man, plus I understand you all hate the choddy but to be fair Tom dove is one of the best young anglers present and he puts the rig on a pedastal as well as ian McMillan, and its not fame, but they have got where they are for a reason guys?

Sorry mate your just coming off as a bit patronising but at the end of the day im not stupid, im attempting to bag a biggun off a match lake and I need some advice at the mo, and fame has nothing to do with it, the simple fact is he has caught carp to 61lb, therefore he knows his stuff, sorry for any misunderstanding

No, as frank Warwick states, he named the rig the silt rig and terry Hearn had his take on it as the CHOD, as far as hooking ability goes, jim Shelley catches huge carp and looses few on this rig, also I AM USING FLURO, so a standard rig makes it sit funny due to sunken lead
-
Hi mate forgot to mention the fact the mud keeps trapping my lead so the stiff boom on a hinged stiff would make my rig sit at an upwards slope.. But I was wondering if a choddy is only suitable when the actual hooklink is sitting in weed?
-
As above guys, I want to use a choddy since its hooking ability is great! The carp are slightly riggy but the water is murky, will this rig be effective here as the bottom is slightly muddy but basically hard and not silty?
