salokcinnodrog Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm not saying it is the only way to go, but I always use a Running lead set-up, and nearly always use a combi-rig at the moment. You may find my set-up on one of these threads below, plus a few more combi rig pics. https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=54131 https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?p=568035#568035 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I use snowman baits on it almost all of the time. With a pop-up, I'm not sure how you would get your supple section to the exact height you needed it if you have to chop and change to get it exactly right. Be a lot of tied up rigs with different supple section lengths! I'm not saying this is the only knot to use with Combi-rigs, as the Albright knot works, but I can tie this up easily without thinking, and it works also as a good knot for shockleaders: Tie an overhand knot in the stiff material, but don't pull it tight Push the supple braid through the knot, and then tie a Uni knot Lubricate the 2 knots and gradually pull tight being careful not to pull the braid back through the overhand knot. For my own confidence I lighter blob the tag ends of the knots. It may be worth checking that this can can be used with a fluorocarbon if you use it for the stiff section.
