  9. avid in-lines on a length of fox submerg, might switch beck to fox in-lines, as the avids are a bit too safe, I had one fly off on the cast last week. if I have to close the gap with forceps, it kind of makes them a bit fixed bolt rig.

  13. Typical, didn't bother tying any super nova up, had every confidence in the snake bite, one rod sat with-out a touch all day, so I tied up a super nova rig put a pop up and bottom boillie on, and chucked it out about six foot to a reed bank and had my best fish of the day out by 7 PM.
  14. Snag leaders tied loop at one end and a quick swivel at the other
  15. There is a nifty little chod set up on the Linear DVD, they use the beads that are wide enough for lead-core, but they pierce a hole straight through the side of the rubber bead and use normal main line, right through to the lead.
  16. That's the SB rigs, I'll do some Super Nova next.
  17. A couple of snake bite hook lengths, I'll gather a bit of coating back and add putty just before I use them, I'll tie two shorter ones too in a bit

    360 rig

    Yeah but, the swivel is placed a good distance from the hook on the stiff rig, the swivel on the 360 come into contact with the fish? By the looks of the rig. Luckily Carp are not known for deep hooking.

    360 rig

    I'm no rig mechanic the most technical rig I use is a snake bite combi, but there are other rigs that give a 360 turn, there is a hinged stiff rig made from two pieces of fluro and a swivel at the join, the bit I don't like about this 360 rig is the swivel on the hook? Just looks like too much metal and aggressive?

    It's not meant to prove anything, just me shooting the breeze, go and get some breakfast down you and slow down a bit.

    Seems as barbed hook removal has been brought up, I have to relate this funny little story about barbed hook removal. Many years ago I was fishing the local canal, I was using big hooks for a canal, size 12 and 14 barbless, after a few other lads seen the bream and tench I was catching they started to fish the same as me, I told one lad to use a barbless as a barbed hook done to much damage to the bait. So I’m out one day on the canal the same lad is fishing a couple of pegs down with his brother, all I herd was a scream, looked round the younger brother's nose was spurting blood, as his brother had cast out, the hook had gone up the other lads nose and snapped off, he had a trail of line and a few dust shot hanging down, anyway it was a hospital job and the nurse had to push the hook right through and cut the barbed point off, lol, she gave him a telling off for using barbed hooks, sounds like her hubby or some one was into fishing as she knew what she was talking about. The lad now has a scar that looks like some one put the tip of a knife into his nose hole and pulled it forward.... Savage.

    I see you can buy ready tied 360 rigs off the net, I’ll bet that's were most anglers are getting these rigs from. I have no problems with ready tied, but there probably is a reason why the big tackle companies only sell basic ready tied rigs. The ESP sink link rigs are great when you are starting out and money is a bit tight after buying rods and reels. My only critic of the ESP rigs is they need a bit of shrink tube or a aligner on the eye of the hook.

    360 rig

    No offence intended fellas, it's not like I take any opening to list what I don't like in fishing, my thoughts on surface fishing I keep to myself and I fish waters that have banned surface fishing, apart from Kingsbury. As I said on page 1, I have never used this rig.

    No I would put a finger in both of their eyes, and claim self defence, as a human I would know not to pull, as to do so would increase the pain. a bit off topic sure, but it wasn't me who compared anglers to the head cases in AR groups.
