dantheman24 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 im fairly new to carp fishing and is wondering what rig material is better for presentation, hook hold, reliability etc. can anyone help me out? Quote
jogon26 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 i am more confidant in flourocarbon hook links as braid is prone to tangles i use a 12lb esp soft ghost with a braided hair so the bait still has movement i use this method this week end on a 24 hr session and bagged 25 carp to 10lb 8oz but each anglers methods are diffrent try both to see how you get on silk worm is a good braid or use both as a combi rig . tight lines rich Quote
welshcarp1985 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 I have both in my tackle box. Braid has no stretch atall and is very hard to break with the correct knot. If using a long hooklink then i find the coated braid is the way to go, also good for small hooklinks as you can incorporate hinge points etc. I will 90% of the time use braid but if fishing is hard then i will turn to fluro, where its near invisible. If tied correctly can be very effective and i use 10lb IQ soft, where when i start the knotless knot always start tying with the hook eye opposite the first turn So really i use braid 90 of the time but fluro can be very effective for them shy wary carp.

samcfc Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 depends on what bottom your fishing on, if your gravel you would be better off with braid and on weed or silt, braid or flurocarbon will both work tight lines sam Quote
