Take the tag end and pass it round the main link 5 times and then pass it through the loop formed by passing the line twice through the swivel eye, moisten and pull tight. If you clip it you've made an up and over haven't you? There has been much controversy surrounding bolt or fixed leads. Position the hook at the correct location on the mono allowing for your chosen distance between the bottom of the hook bend and the bait. Recently we have seen many people starting Carp fishing who have not had an apprenticeship from catching skimmers as a child under a father’s watchful eye to later, migrating to carp or another specimen species. I am a novice carp angler and found this article very helpful. The picture below shows some standard components that I would expect all carp anglers to have in some form or another, manufacturers might vary but the components are the same. How to tie a mono twisted boom to prevent tangles →. Has given me a lot of confidence regards safe end rigs that are simple, safe and effective. It is a good representation of the kinds of modern coated braids that are around today. For simplicity here we will use a figure of 8 loop. Thanks to the writer for this point to point assemble of the rig.
The running monofilament rig is simple but it has one issue, it can tangle quite easily and the stiff mono can make the bait behave unnaturally in the water which may or may not be what you are after. Running ledgers are OK when fishing close in and you want to give the fish some line before striking. YOUR OWN SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CATCHING FISH!!!!!!:black_eye. I'm sure if it was fixed in anyway then it would result in far more lost fish.
Once you have gotten experience with these rigs feel free to move onto other more complicated rigs as if you have the basics right then you can’t go too far wrong. This rig was shown at the end of the mono hook link rig and I want to expand upon it here to show what can be done to solve the tangle issue by adding Lead core. Once you have whipped the desired number of turns (in this case 10 turns), take the line and thread it back through the eye of the hook from the top so that the line emerges from the bottom nearest the point. Tried this rig last week and if I assume correctly there is little advantage clipping the bait down to an impact lead ?? From pop up rigs to chod rigs or ronnie rigs and the multi rig. I assumed it wasn’t to be clipped to my lead. Thanks for sharing. Rigs where the ledger weight freely runs on the line are collectively called running rigs. See the initial components picture for a small selection of the patterns available. They are: Basic mono rig Hybrid rig Basic running ledger rig ( plus lead core version) Bolt rig ( plus with lead core ) Inline lead ( also on lead core) The rigs / methods I will be covering will catch you carp from almost any water from weedy to weedless, from close range to distance.
