tombolt Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I was reading some older threads on running/shocker vs bolt / semfixed rigs and it seemed a lot of people prefer running rig with slack lines due to no resistance. I've also read elsewhere that when fishing in the margins using no lead and going straight to the hookbait with your mainline fishing slack lines can be very effective. Surely this type of rig would cause even less resistance to the carp and can provide some very good bite indication and on certain waters where the carp are wary of leads and such this could be very effective. I would just like to hear some other peoples opinions on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmc Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have never dabbled with this idea myself (although it certainly sounds effective) but there is an article about it in the latest issue of crafty carper if you fancy it.
