striping

[chris_the_carper]

Has any one tried using wire cutters to strip coated braid? if so any good?

[carpoholic]

You will only damage the braid. Just warm the outer skin in hot water to soften it if you need to. I never need to do it that way, just use your teeth to strip it.

Or nail clippers.

i use stealth skin or the new esp striptease both of these are easy to strip by hand. If its something like hybrid then i soak it in warm water to soften it.

I use my thumb nail to strip coated braid.

 

 

If I want to stripe it I use a Waterproof Marker Pen. :D

Sorry gentlemen for sounding ignorant but could you explain what is coated braid and what it is used for, my carp fishing outings are zero at the moment as i have just given up my fly fishing for a while, so though i would try my hand at carp fishing.

I have spent some time studying your very helpful pages and decided to sign up.

thankyou.

Have you done ANY coarse fishing?

[holdontight]

No, i must admit i have only fished for salmon, trout, well all the game fish, but not course, my bailiff is ready to show me the ropes, but i need more information, and you people seem quite knowledgable on the ways of catching carp.

It`s just a braid hookling material that has an outer polymer coating on it that can be left on for stiff rigs or stripped back at various lengths for different rig presentation.i.e 1 3rd stripped back and 2 3rds left on will give you a simple combi rig.

If left unstripped it will act like a nylon hooklink.

It is ok Mick1396, i do not mind a bit of mocking, i had the same when i started fly fishing.

My father has some waters and have them for fly fishing, one has some carp which no one has caught, so i thought maybe it was time to try something different.

 

Thank you for your help.

[mick1396]

With an attitude like yours, I am not suprised some anglers are shy to ask questions. Maybe someone will mock one of your questions one day.

 

Nice attitude holdontight.
