scopex Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 When i am using a helecopter rig can i use a pva bag, or will it mess up the aerodynamics? cheers, Scopex:) Quote
jules007 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 you should be ok if you put the lead in the pva then nick the hook onto the bag Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 If you had done a search you would have found this thread, same question: https://forum.carp.com/forum/t18003/s.html Quote
courtz Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 i put the lead in the bag, sliding the two holding beads up the leader with the hooklength. i then fill up the bag and tie it off. once ive trimmed down the dag i slide the two beads and hhoklength bach to the bag knot, before nicking the hook in the side of the bag. tight lines courtz Quote
barehenchcarpmaster Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 If u attach the rig 2 the bag whats the point in calling it the heilcopter rig cause surely if its called the HEILCOPTER RIG the rigs got 2 spin and it wont if its attach 2 the bag???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

fosco Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 T he bag dissolves , leaving the rig the chance of swivelling like a helicopter Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 Yes you can use Mini bags or Fishnet PVA on a Heli rig. If you attach them to the Lead then your feed may be a little way away from the Hookbait though. You can attach PVA to the hook though If you use really small bags about the size of a 50p piece and get the Bait and some freebies in the Pva it works nicely, just get it as round as possible. Quote
barnabus Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 can you use rig tubing with helicopter rigs? Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 can you use rig tubing with helicopter rigs? Yes, it is probably safer to the Carp. If you have the Helicopter swivel going on the Mainline there is the possibility that because you are pulling against the Carp at an angle that it will eventually break the Line. If you use Tubing you prevent much of this damage that MAY be caused. If you have a Snap-up with a helicopter how long will it be before the Carp is able to eject the Lead, hook and hooklink? Quote
fosco Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 what in mid air gd 1 the helichopter rig comes in to its own in the water not in flight Quote

You can attach PVA to the hook though If you use really small bags about the size of a 50p piece and get the Bait and some freebies in the Pva it works nicely, just get it as round as possible. You can still use stringers, but that causes the cast to wobble slightly. The hooklink doesn't have to be free to revolve in the cast as what makes the distance of the cast is the Lead momentum and velocity. Quote
courtz Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 If you attach them to the Lead then your feed may be a little way away from the Hookbait though. what about then nicking the hook into the bag like i said Quote

courtz Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 sorry but my last question was a bit unclear. would it work if you attatch the pva to the lead like i'd said it a previous question, and them nick the hook in the bag so your hookbait is near to the loosefeed. tight lines courtz Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 I can't see why not. It is the weight of the lead that gets the distance, just by tidying the hooklink up by nicking the point of the hook into the pva you could actually be increasing distance. No bait and that flapping around Quote
