ste1984 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi guys I bet the more experienced guys on here get bored to tears with the word CHOD when it pops up, but anyway here I go What is the main difference between a normal pop up rig and a chod, im confused as why you would fish one and not the other and vice versa. If you was fishing very deep silt then fair enough chod all the way. Is the main difference the distance you can fish off the bottom ??

emmcee Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 for me personally it all depends on what bottom im fishing over,from 6 inches of weed etc upwards then its chod all the way for me.less than that then i will fish a conventional pop up rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste1984 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah I suppose unless you need to come up all that way, whats the point. Might sound silly but how can you gain a rough indication of depth of weed, if your 20 or so metres out??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytuppen Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 If you reel in any weed from 20 meters out or wherever you are then hold the weed from end to end to see APPROXIMATLY how long the weed out their is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chees guys Sliding helicopter set-ups (Chod) in weed although publicised as the "be all and end all" are not necessarily the best option either A normal pop-up rig can be fished on any type of presentation, be it helicopter, (fixed or sliding), pendant, (running or semi-fixed) or inline, whereas a chod rig is usually a sliding presentation to present a bait above (its original purpose) the silt. A paternostered set-up can be better, more indication at the rod end, less risk of snapping up (on a fish or otherwise), and less chance of leaving a tethered fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
