thanks mate that would be very helpful

yes i was thinking that top part looks very messy compared to Gary's, I think i need to have a sit down for a few hours and fine tune them like u said thanks mate

Top man thank you for your help bro

the bottom is gravel

i am going to try the wide gape hook see if i get any better results, have no tube what so ever then or just a little like on the pic u have attached?? my rigs are usally about 25cm long

thank you very much Gary, at least i no i am on the right track with my rigs then

yh i did try a chod rig last year at shatterford lakes and it produced nothing i suppose i can give it another try!!! any feedback for the rigs i posted?? Thanks

Thanks for your help lads I forgot to mention i am using putty, i started fishing again late last year done a few over nighters and caught fish so was feeling confident but then this year has been crap blank after blank after blank but i suppose thats part of fishing I understand that im not going to catch every session and I do like getting on the bank like most do but i do also like to catch! altho u maybe right about me not being on the fish, or maybe i am not baiting up my swims enough i typical day session i will use a kilo of boilies over 2 swims - large pva bags on cast and a good few handfuls thrown around each swim and the 3rd i fish margins with a bucket mix of hemp sweetcorn cat meat and lunchen meat and feed little and often throughout the day, maybe i need to look down the spod route! im defo not an expert carper tho and would like some feedback on my rigs from experienced carpers because you can only learn from your mistakes! ive just found my rigs out the shed i fished with sat, where am i going wrong? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/photo1gof.jpg/ 1st rig - double boilie bottom bait 2nd rig - single boilie bottom bait 3rd rig - pop up rig

hi just getting back into after a good few years break, not having much luck this year with only one fished landed (surface fishing) done 1 24 hour and 3 12 hour sessions just using standard hair rigs using cell and the odd pop up (northern specials pop up). now im thinking my rigs are not as effective as they could be, as other people are catching on the pool and im not, which has got my thinking it must be down to my rigs. I will try to upload a picture later to see if i am going wrong, usually consist of 20lb braid hooklink with long shank size 8 korda hook tied with a standard knotless knot. i did try my first session with a adjustable zig rig but had no luck think i need a few sessions with this rig to get use to it Been looking at the KD rig today looks like a very good rig with such an aggressive angle of the hook, what's everyone favorite rig for a good catch ratio thanks lads
