carpling Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 hey guys, my camera is horrible quality so i just used paint to illustrate what my rig looks like is this made right? i hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 NO that is a death rig mate, you dont need the swivel on the mainline which will trap your hjooklink if you crack off and the carp will have no way of dropping the rig it will just tow the lead round with it and end up getting snagged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimysime Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Also pal your drawing indicates tungsten tubing , that also for me is a definate no no as it could break, leadcore would be the way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoogi Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 What's the point of the lead clip, tail rubber & third bead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zammmo Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Don't mean to be rude but surely you can see that the lead clip is serving absolutly no purpose. You don't need a swivel on the end of the hook link, in fact you don't need a hooklength. Just have your mainline straight through to the lead with a tail rubber over the knot.If you need to pin the line down put a couple of Korda sinkers under your beads... Just add I started this post before stoogi, I'm a slow typer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpling Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 thankyou thats what i was looking for! ill update you with the new rig, hold on and some one told me to use tungsten, went to my tackle shop and asked for leadcore he said to use tungsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodzy Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thumbs up to you carpling for asking the question, u were obviousley unsure yourself! at least you have a better idea now! The thing i do when unsure about rigs or setups is check google images or watch a vid on utube. you can get more info on stuff like this from pics than people trying to explain it!

Gaz Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 What's the point of the lead clip, tail rubber & third bead? lmao, i didnt even notice that, all i noticed was the rig being trapped and replied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 do a search on here about leadcore mate, i for one think it should be banned but there are still a few people that use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpling Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 is this better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoogi Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yep. Just make sure that the 2nd bead can move freely. You can use pva tape to help keep it in place on the cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpling Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 is that the bead on the mainline side and not of the lead side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoogi Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yes. 2nd bead or top bead is rod end. Well, it is to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpling Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 yep it probably is, its just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
