beanz Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 lets hear what your gut instinct is first Quote
1chris1 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 what do you mean by that mate? chris Quote
beanz Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 what rig did you think (if you did ) you should use, what was your gut instinct what did that angler thats deep inside trying to get out think to try?? Quote
1chris1 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 i thought of using eather a lead clip or a running rig but im not sure lol should i use a rig that is not as simple as the lead clip or running rig? ..HELP.. chris Quote
beanz Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 id say you cant get much more simple then a run rig or inline, a lead/safety clip is getting more advanced IMO what do you want out of the rig?? good indication good hooking properties or a bit of both ?? Quote
1chris1 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 a bit of both mate. what rig would you use ? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Personally I'd use a running rig or with a (short) hair-rigged maggot clip, maybe a maggy on the hook to hide it a bit. Quote
beanz Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 i know you know which lead set up will give you both, just like you know which lead gives good indication and which ones give good hooking so go on dont be shy and play along which lead should you use ??? Quote
1chris1 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 id say the running rig cos it givs good indication and the fish can not feel the lead.well thants what i think. thanks for your replys lads im still learning about rigs lol. chris Quote
beanz Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 you feeling ok chris??you dont need a sit down after all that ?? im only joking fella id use a running rig, inline would give a bit of both, but i tend to use inline in weed and add a bead to stop the swivel sitting inside which reduces the hooking potential but keeps the indication up with the run rig.

gavskin Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 i think you need to send a letter to santa......ask him for a good carp fishing book Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 For ways to attach the actual maggots to the hook try this: https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=26868&highlight=maggot+rig I found it on the search facility by typing in "Maggot rig", clicking search all terms, then specified Rig Tying section I'll tell you that there are others, I just picked the first that the mouse hovered over... As for the lead attachment or set-up, work out what you want to do; whether the small fish are going to be a nuisance, if they are then you may need maximum indication as a semi-fixed set-up may NOT tell you if small fish have robbed you blind, but with a running lead set-up you will know if small fish are in the area. Alternatively using plenty of maggots the carp may just sit there and scoff, and you may need to force them to panic and bolt Quote

Careful, you putting words into peoples mouth, although the thought that you need to get out and experience things may definitely help you had sprung to mind By the way, Santa Claus did exist, he was an Eastern European or Turk (can't remember which) who did go around at Christmas time giving gifts to those who were struggling to survive, hence why we remember Saint Nicklaus Quote

I've said it to you before; As much as you can learn from the forum, when it comes down to YOUR fishing, the only way to learn relating to YOUR fishing is for you to try things out. You have an idea of rigs, or hook set-ups, and how to get the best rig for your fishing, even then it is dependant on whether small fish are a nuisance or not, and that information I gave you in my previous post. Now it is down to YOU as to how you utilise that information. Then when you have learnt from the fishing it will be a lesson for you to remember, that is called EXPERIENCE Quote
