morkey11 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 Just wondering as the cold weather is starting to come in whats everyones favourite rigs and baits for the winter season?? Quote
beza26 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 Rig's won't change, bait certainly will. Soon be the time for it to start going in largely too. Quote
morkey11 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Posted September 18, 2011 To be honest with you mate i mean more tactics than just rigs Quote
beza26 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 Maybe you should have typed that then instead of favourite "rig" Quote
tel90 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 I'll keep my rigs the same, maybe use a flurocarbon hooklink if the waters really clear. Tactic wise the deeper water tends to be where the fish hold up in the colder months on my club lake, not to hopefull though, it did 1 fish last year through dec, jan and feb mind you saying that it was a paticually nasty winter, brrrrrrr.

emmcee Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 rigs stay the same,total change of bait though,which has been going in now for the past 6 weeks.the only change to tackle is a lighter mainline as the weed dies off Quote
morkey11 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Posted September 20, 2011 yer think everyone has the idea, i keep my rigs the same my only real change is my bait, the flavour and the ammount im gonna start baiting up my local water this weekend and keep it going in to try and grab a few through the colder months Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 My food bait rigs are the same as my summer rigs, however I do usually tie up some pop-up rigs specifically. In the winter I do tend to use pop-ups more than the summer in an attempt to provoke a reaction and take from the carp when things are hard. I can't afford to lighten the mainline on my current lake, 15lb is needed as the lake is very snaggy. Is this any use? https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=23380 Quote
morkey11 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Posted September 20, 2011 I still use pop ups in the winter just not as much as i do in warmer weather not really sure why, i just tend to change things up abit and try the likes of corn and maggots even pepperami like Nick said but i seem to have the same problem as him also. (Hungry carper ) Thanks for the link aswell nick im gonna have a read through in a min see what people think Quote
zammmo Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Rigs will remain the same. I will use bigger baits and not spread them around so much... Quote
