tobyperrett Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 hey all, does anyone have any tips on in line rigs. I normally use good old bolt rigs but want to see if in line rigs are any better when fishing in weedy lakes. i have used the basic ESP in line rigs but was wondering if there are any other helpfull ideas that i could use. cheers!

tonybranno Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 A semi fixed inline still IS a bolt rig, but i wouldnt use them in weedy waters cos of the safety factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksingleton Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 A good old fashioned running rig with a weak line between run ring and lead swivel could alter your results The advantage of inline bolt rigs is the more direct bolt effect it creates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydextrous Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 The one thing I would mention is that with a regular inline set-up you can't shed the lead at all..... which would be essential if fishing a weedy water. What size fish & what bait are you looking to be using in the weedy water? - Might help to suggest a rig then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobyperrett Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Rite thanks for the tips so far guys. i will be fishing fishing boilies on one of my rods and 6m pellets on the other rod. The fish in the lake are mostly upper teens and 20's. I have also found that the fish only ever take the bait when it is in very deep water (10ft) or shallow water (3-4ft). Help would be much apprieciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saml91 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 i would suggest a running rig TBH because if you are using a bolt rig the fish knows it has been hooked and will bolt straight for snags wereas if you had a running rig then you will have more indication before the fish realises it has been caught then strike and bring it away from the snags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony they can be quite safe mate, they come out of the weed easier than a pendulem lead, just be mindfull the lead comes off the swivel. I personally wouldn't use in dense weed though. just incase you crack off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had so many suggestions but everyone seems to think differently lol. at the moment i am thinking of using an in line running rig.

coops_northants Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 In dense weed i would be using a clip, just purely for if you crack off or the line parts leaving a length behind it an in line or running rig needs to pass over all this line before its off the line and not being towed around. Its all too easy for the line to twist and clog so that the lead will not pass over it. However i am sure there are inline leads with a groove cut out of them (like the korda flying back leads) and these would pull up out of the weed better than a pendulem set up and would also fall off the line should it part.
