My pleasure mate and all the best with your fishing 🎣

It’s a large concrete pit with a grill at the end. The lake water exits through what’s called a monk (concrete pit with 60mm chestnut boards, 30cm tall, dropped into steel channels) and then flows into the pecherie.

Here I was showing my blow back. multi rig, very popular with guests who don't want to tie their own rigs, you can re-use the rig and change the hook when you need to: czcams.com/video/7VlmNHg0BD0/video.html

@@matthewcollinsangler thanks I'll have a look

Yes absolutely. TBH I don’t use this rig anymore, I much prefer to use a basic running ledger now whenever possible. Although silt depth can be a factor, what’s more important is how you are getting your rigs into position. If you are using a bait boat, baiting spoon, rowing them out or dropping them into a near side margin then you do not need to use a helicopter rig or a popup. If I’m casting then it would depend on how far. If you don’t need to cast very far, use a lighter lead, 2.5 oz down to 1.5oz if you can get away with it. Use a PVA mesh stick to slow the rig’s descent through the water. If I can cast out, stop the rig before it hits the water, feel the lead down and feel some kind of thud, then I know I’m fishing. Obviously you need to be able to feel the donk. I only use a helicopter rig If I have to cast a long way with a big lead and I know the lead is plugging deep into the silt.

Thankyou for the explanation I use a baitboat where possible and a bushwhacking if not so I’ll stick with the running rig thankyou gav

Not yet! We've just started filming it. I've done a quick overview on it on this post on instagram: instagram.com/p/CsoJFuBMfH7/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Looks pretty straight forward. What size Nash Scope Tray do you use small or large?

When I'm out fishing I use the small one, when I'm rig prepping at home, I use the big one (you don't need the magnetic bit).

I put some hook grease on the hook point to avoid rust

Yes mate I do. The size 6 Nash claws have a larger eye than the size 6 Twisters so if I need to use 0.60 mono hooklink then I would use the claws. If you are looking to use thinner mono then I would not use the claws as the eye is too large. There’s absolutely no difference between the performance of either of these two hooks. Beaked point or straight, all that matters is how sharp they are and they are both very very sharp hooks 👍

Thanks 🙏

I didn’t cover my whole approach there, I do recce the water with a leading rod before fishing a new water.

Much appreciated 🙏

It very much depends on the venue you fish TBH. This year I’ve decided to use a pod more in my fishing to see how I go. The most important thing with a pod is to secure it properly. That’s something that is often overlooked. We’ve done full video on pods vs banks ticks here: czcams.com/video/ECd6MJhUW58/video.htmlsi=frvvaTnnAo-Rsn4h

No it wouldn't. With mono, I use this rig primarily: czcams.com/video/Rr4paU5B_r4/video.html

Because I was loading 300m of 0.30 mainline over the top and I never fish more than 120m distance, there’s absolutely no way that the backing line is going to come into play so there’s no need to tie a knot so I taped it. If I’m fishing at a long distance and there’s a risk of running out of line then absolutely I’d tie a knot.

That's wonderful to hear, congrats!

Really appreciate that mate, thanks.

These are the Fox plastic run rings

@@matthewcollinsangler thanks for the reply with the components your using are you able to use rig tubing thanks for the great videos ive tied up about 20 of those rigs for when I'm out next thanks

@@michaelhedges41070 I use the Nash Heli sleeve as the buffer bead specifically because it works with a wide range of materials: rig tubing, lead free leader or a mono leader or naked. The Fox run rig also works with all of the those options 👍

Your talking absolute nonsense m8 if he was using 40lb mainline I'd get your point. It's no different too using 25lb boom material on a Ronnie rig or stiff hinge.

Wonderful to hear, thank you 😊

Hi Richard, yes you can use it wherever you want to including in the margins.

Do you shorten your snood length or change lead to an inline? Sorry so many questions just getting into carp fishing

@@richarddickinson7242 No I don’t change the hooklink length, I fish this rig 6’’ everywhere I go. If dropping from a bait boat, I use an inline running lead, if casting or placing rods with a rowing boat, I use a swivel running lead. Check out my other videos, plenty of straight forward advice and tutorials as you get into the sport 😊

Does sea salt harden baits out the bag then

@@LeeSurman-zz5ym Yes, it does, I go into it in detail in this video: czcams.com/video/7Ji4xATrvQk/video.html

Lots more factors to consider on the river… flow rate, nuisance species. I do a lot of short evening sessions on the river of 5-6 hours and I’d only re-do a rod if I think I’ve had an occurrence that’s potentially ruined the presentation.

Caught plenty of cats with the boilie still on the bait screw.
