I use the Gardner ones and get on with them, ive also used the nash D-dam ones and didn't like them tail rubber didn't fit properly and found the lead was impossible to eject cast one out without a tail rubber had a fish and the lead was still on

sorry cant help not my neck of the woods brighton_carper might know of a club around your area

If you do join id suggest weekdays as all the lakes will probably get rammed on a weekend not so much now but in summer

I get my PVA from 4thirds free 1st class post and its relatively cheap ive used korda bags and will never use them again left a nasty gloop over the rig and a chemical smell on my bait and rig

Try the Gardner longshank incizor or Mugga both are good hooks and sharpen nicely

Depends what rig im using but the rig im using at the moment has half about half a centimeter of separation, i believe this allows the rig mechanics to work properly

The trusty choddy

Me plz i need a french PB

I use naked chod where the chods on my mainline, i put a bead above the chod i use korda ready made rigs then a bottom bead and usually put small bit of putty to stop the bead and chod sliding down to my lead. i also put a peice of putty on the swivel for the chod and take small pieces off till it sinks really slowly so gently sits ontop of the weed if you know how deep the weed is you can move the bottom bead further up so the lead goes through the weed without dragging the rig with it hope this helps

i think the braid is too thick tbh theres not much room to pass it back through the eye

cheers for all the replys ordered some braid blades and going to give it a shot when they arrive

any recommendations ?

Yeah Could but surely it will fit through size 6

Its not coated and I tried cutting it at an angle hasn't Worked and doped it in wax To harden it didn't work getting frustrated now lol

Hey guys I'm tryin to tie some kd rigs up as we speak I get the braid through the eye first time then I can't get it through 2nd time the braid just splices into strands at the end the braids 25 lb Ashima groundhog and hooks size 6 fox arms point SSSb wide gape

Well you can get at least 2 tins of sweetcorn into a kilo of Vitalin Also many mixed particles, pigeon conditioner, Red Band, Hemp. Half fill a 10kilo base mix bucket with Vitalin, a few pellets and then add a couple of kilos of prepped particles complete with juice, maybe even some CSL liquid or Molasses. As you say, a little spare groundbait in case you do over do it, but I do have a tendency to check it as I mix the whole lot in, and usually still end up with a "dry patch" of groundbait in the base/side wall join would you recommend groundbait used with vitalin as i tend to stay away from groundbait as it attracts the andys like locusts ? would the liquid leake out of the mesh during the cast unlike the bag sorry for any typos ive been in the pub for the last 5 hours lol

I use the korda flying backleads with my running rigs they dont come off on the take or when playing the fish, i find they work well

I use runnning rig with particles and have no problems hooking fish

thats mad thou i have seen a place that charges 100 for a day session must butlers on every swim and carp lined with gold

thanks got it sorted now

Im new to carp fishing and making my own rigs but when im making my setups i make them as fish freindly as possible dont want a fish to be swimming around with 2oz weight hanging off its mouth. Anyways ill be threading my mainline through avid inline safety lead attach a swivel to end and will slot it into the hole other end securing the weight then attach braided hair hooklink to swivel will be using Ez camo spiderwire 20lb breaking strain so if mainline breaks fish swims off and weight will slide off the mainline happy fishy but i want something to put on my mainline before the weight to sink it so i dont spook the fish any ideas ? preferably something i can thread my mainline through thanks
