chods

[terryh]

seen many variations of the chod recently how are you fishing it ?

[cobleyn]

I saw a fantastic variation of one on tight lines on Friday night. Adam penning has invented a chod rig with a bottom bait.

 

 

....oh wait ....no it was just a helicopter rig.

I'm not using one on my current water, better options. When they are required then the following thread may help....

one of the korda lads have started to use it with a short boom, im waiting to see when and who claims to have invented that.

 

CHOD BOOM! i called , back in 2010 but it was and is just a stiff hinge. it did allow the curved hooklink to turn 360 when sitting in silk weed.

Never fished a chod before, prefer to use the hinged stiff rig with pop ups

I hate the name Chod, after all, it is a SILT rig, designed for fishing over...

The number of fish I used to lose on helicopter/silt set-ups

 

Hookpulls, the line being rubbed away with a swivel "rolling" on the line.

 

Far better set-ups available to fish a pop-up in my view.

quite agree mate...I use my own variation on a hinged rig...with a little ....bounce shall we say
