deansurr Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 what is a good rig to use in the margins, 4 ft deep, gravel bottom, clear water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 If it's gravel you are fishing on I would use a 2oz inline lead, 3 or 4 inch of strip teaze, with a Raptor size 7 hook. Don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this question tho mate, just trial and error to see what works best for you on that water.

salokcinnodrog Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hi Mate, Welcome to the forum What is a good rig to use anywhere? It comes down to what works for you. I have used pretty much the same rigs for over 15years and still catch on them! If you look at the rigs Sticky at the top of the page there are a few pics and a how to tie basic rigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchthathurt Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 in this situation i tend to use the smallest lead i can get aeay with, slack lines and suchlike. its personal preference at the end of the day though. if they are that close, i would also consider float fshing or stalking, its that more thrilling as well...

Very true! If you can camouflage your rigs so that all you can see is the bait then the rig is more likely to get picked up. You then have to have a Good Hooking Arrangement. It may mean that you "Strike" into the fish rather than relying on "Self hooking rigs", but it can be a lot more effective than not knowing if you have had a Pick-up or not.

courtz Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 3oz linline lead, a few feet of leadcore and a short combi link hooklength Near enough the same as pezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarge2 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 hey mate, like all the others said use a very small lead because when the carp gets a hold of the rig if it feels any tesion it will run for the the nearest snag. also make sure all your rigs are neat and tidy and little bigs can make the difference between a catch and a blank Also use natural bate or the fish like maggots or worm becuase if you use your watercraft knowledge you will know that on the lake all the big carp would be in the silt seaching for the natural baits so try to use some normal things eg maggots, corn, worms or meat ok mate hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 And not forgetting the Lift float method and stalking. Fluorocarbon or Mono hooklink. Loop to loop from mainline to hooklink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
