merlin35 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 tricky one, but i'd have to go with the bolt. Set that hook ASAP. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 The one that works on the water I'm fishing. Whatever is is. In-Lines are a form of Semi Fixed Bolt Rig, so stop nit-picking. lol;) Running Lead gives better sensitivity if fished properly and Bolt Rigs hook the fish in theory before you get to the rod. https://forum.carp.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12118 This thread has plenty on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lead Clip does not make it a Bolt rig... As I say on the other Thread you need to understand why you are fishing a particular set-up and why it works.

tomdavpedley Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 what size lead do you use on your bolt rig? i use a 3oz because i feel confident that the extra weight may hook the fish better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 The Size of the Lead I use on A bolt rig depends where/how far I'm fishing. On a Running Lead I nearly always use 3-3.5oz of Lead. I know my rods can cast that and that much lead stays on the Lakebed when a Carp takes. If i'm Bolt Rig/Semi fixed fishing up to about 30yards then I'll use 2oz, more distance than that I'll go up to 2.5-3oz. I also check Lead shape, depending on whether the Carp are in the swim when I cast. Different shaped leads make different noise underwater. Trilobes tend to flutter down to the bottom, whereas a Zipp/Distance Lead will bomb down and create a lot of noise underwater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
