chod rig

[esh]

does any 1 no if it is any good and what is the best way to make 1

[tonybranno]

Its just another name for the helicopter rig that was doing the rounds years and years ago. Its best fished in silt or chod (obviously) cos it keeps the short hooklink clear from the bottom debris.

wht is the best way to make it

Complete Helicopter Rig Kit.

 

 

In my views the Solar Tackle is the Best.

[tonybranno]

Korda do one as well as Fox. In fact most of the major tackle manufacturers have a chod/helicopter set up in their range.

Make your own its a lot cheaper

True, but some homemade ones are not the safest.

 

At least if you get a Ready Made set-up all the Components should fit each other and release as required.

 

Far better to know that the Carp are safe than be fishing a Death Rig

k well i will get the ready made ones if they more safer

If you are sure that the ones you make yourself will not become a Tether rig or Death rig then I'm sure you won't get moaned at.

 

Its just making sure that all the Parts that release properly if a Snap-off does occur, which is why I said about the Solar ones on their site. I know they work and release, although I have my doubts about the Korda ones (Safe Zone? see a thread on Leadcore!)

im looking at buying some myself, as tony mentioned korda and fox sell them and im probably going to get the fox ones, because you get 3 for £5 whereas korda charge £5 for one.

Do you know where I can buy a maggot klip for a maggot rig?

thanks

[nicko15]

any online tackle shop that stocks korda tackle will sell them, or you could try your local tackle shop

Save money, get better presention and a safer rig, just use bait floss and attach to a small rig ring or just to the loop of the hair.

Its one of the SafeZone Silt Rig leaders that were sold, before they decided to change them, that I pulled in at SWP. It wouldn't release the Lead or Rig no matter how much Trevor the Bailiff and I pulled. The lead was totally jammed in place. It even cut off my Marker Braid and was snapped off with about 30metres of Line trailing from it, totally jammed up with weed.

Korda seem to have a problem making safe rig components at the moment.

I read on another forum that the their new safety clips wont release a lead unless you modify them first.

Wouldn't be the first time I remember when they released the Mk2 lead clip and sent them out with Mk1 tail rubbers and they were nigh impossible to get off the clip by hand!

i have got 4 of them but havent used them yet, il just have to keep checking that the lead comes free. i have got the safezone leaders with the swivels on and they are very thin leaders. do you think it was the leader that was the problem then or could it have been the swivel to big for the insert?
