Podcast on the "how to talk over someone" rig
Lol
Let the man speak
Lovely stuff from my old mate Matt, true gentleman and superb angler, I’m fairly sure his neat reasons for doing what he does will put fish on the bank for people.
Thanks Frank!
Thanks mate. I do hope you're well.
Really enjoyed these podcasts great insight into chods. Just a bit of constructive criticism instead of asking questions when the guest is halfway though explaining something maybe wait until he has finished because quite often they never go back to explaining what they was originally on about before being asked another question. Apart from that great stuff 👍🏼
Hi James, we're glad you like our content and thanks for feedback.
Hi James, that's a very valid point and I will make sure I'm aware of it on future videos. We're new to this this and feedback is valued and allows us to make them better as we move forward. Glad you enjoyed the vid. James 😊
@@jamesclarke761 thanks for the reply James, you wouldn’t be able to tell your new to this you come across very well mate. it’s definitely a step in the right direction for Gardner. I feel it’s a very difficult thing to get right on a podcast is when to interject and when to let the conversation unfold. I have no doubt you will crack it mate keep up the good work 👍🏼
@@jamesgibbons901 Thanks for your kind words James, I promise I'll nail it next time 😉 We plan to do plenty more so watch this space!
Enjoyed the vidoes very much.
Better close ups of the rig would of been better 👍👍
These podcasts are fantastic, keep them coming guys👍
Thanks for your kind words Wayne!
Brilliant this!!!
Thanks Jay!
Fantastic podcast thanks for making it.
Thanks Mark and we're glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff !!
No clear image of the finished chod rig!! Use the telephoto on the zoom Gardner otherwise very interesting.
Nice podcast thanks team Gardener
We're glad you enjoyed it!
I call the chod rig a weapon in carp fishing!
It's a fabulous rig!
Another great podcast and great insight into the chod from a man that has honed his skills fishing it and has it dialled in. nice one lads 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the comment and we're glad you enjoyed it!
Great pod, mate 🔥💚
Thanks and we're glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video. Another great one from Gardner. Matt Eaton is definitely in “chodfather” territory. I’ve inadvertently been doing a similar thing using very light leads but using a very looping cast to get the lead and leader to drop in vertically then I’ll let the line sink itself back to the rod. However, I’ll be trying Matt’s approach as I think it has more finesse to it.
Thanks Jason and we're glad you enjoyed it!
Next level thoughts on fishing, I need to re watched it again to take all the information in
Glad you like it Steve. Hope it helps you.
Some good information here. Been using chod rigs a lot the past few months. Not really been confident on them due to not catching on them. Maybe it was a quiet spell with the weather change. But i wasn't confident at all due to the chod going so close to the lead if I hooked one! Anyway, today I caught my first chod rig carp, and it was well hooked right in the scissors!! Thanks for the tip of extending the helicopter so the lead is away from the chod, it definitely gave me more confidence with the rig! Great all round podcast 👏🏻
Don’t tell everyone sssshhh ! 👍🏻
Inspiring demo, thanks. I'm curious about your knot for the swivel attachment. Are you suggesting a simple overhand knot is strong enough not to slip? My tests do feel less tight than a blood knot.
I♥️ Chod 😍
Great rig!
good for frank warwick good for me he is a legand
Never used a chod. But the lake ive just started fishing is like a forest so much weed i spent a few wks just walking it and leading around.lots of shallow weed areas. The chod got to be the way to go. What a great vid.
Thanks Graham. I hope it helps.
Matt
@@matteaton7427 helped me loads, railway lake over larkfield,managed 9 origanals and 17 stockies in 8 months dont sound many but nxt bloke did 10 origanals and 9 stockies. Well chuffed thanks
@@grahamlarkin1290 That's really good to hear. That's some really good angling gone on there. 🔥
thanks for making the video. very interesting. I don't use the chod much so hope this isn't a daft question. what are the advantages of the chod leader extension as opposed to just moving the bottom bead 12 inches up the leader?
Hi. Thanks for the question. The reason I use an extension is to keep the lead away from a carp's mouth during the fight. If I just moved the bead up a foot then it would slide back back down once a fish was hooked. Hope that helps. Matt
Any chance of uploading a pic to your Facebook page of how Matt sets up his chod rig? I struggled to understand how he had his lead setup
Thanks for the comment. We are hoping to shoot a video about this soon.
Great insight from a real thinker. Would like to have heard how he stops his top bead coming off the lead core and onto mainline on the cast though.
Hi Simon. Sorry I didn't cover that aspect. I use one of Gardner's chod beads that I had a hand in designing. The bottom half of the Y shaped hole grips the leader whilst the wider top half enables them to slip over the leader knot. I've actually manged to see one working in action when I went out in a boat to free a snagged carp. The wide bore is the one for lead core. It's essential to have the larger hole facing the rod tip.
Thanks for the reply. Was a great podcast.
@@simongoddard8490you're welcome. Pleased you enjoyed it.
Nice video been using my chods for years very similar but I splice a ring on about 6 inch away instead of a sweivel to stop the lead knocking. One thing you didn't ask was how much he curves his chods 😊but really enjoyed it. Chods for nods call me Mr nod 😂😂😂
Thanks Gary!
Hi Gary. I'm about mid-way between the two schools of thought and my chods are curved to around 90 degrees.
An overhead camera or illustrations may be of use, couldn't see anything he was describing
Thanks for your feedback Joe. This is something we are certainly looking into.
Hi Matt said that he wouldn't use the chod while feeding particles, could I just ask why please? I'm pretty new to all out proper carp fishing so I'm trying to gather knowledge for any given situation 😎
Because of the different way in which carp feed on particles as opposed to boilies. Particles they tend to grub around close to the bottom so you want a rig on the bottom. When feeding boilies, especially in weed like Matt does a child is the best option. In essence use a rig that suits your feeding situation. Chods work well over a spread of boilie.
@@jimwocha4949 thank you mate. I appreciate you getting back to me and sharing the information 😎
Did we establish how far away the top should be in deep weed?
Top bead would be about 6" from the top of the leadcore regardless of how deep the weed is. The only time I'd move it down would be in water shallower than my leadcore ie 6ft.
So after the lead has hit the bottom, the line is slack. Is anything done to sink the line? If not are you always fishing a line as heavy as possible?
Hi Matt, thanks for the comment. The rod tip is held high and the link should sink itself from the rig back to the rod tip.
I have never had great success with chods and recently avoided using them. I must admit this video has tempted me to try them out again. Thanks for the advice.
@@mattsmith6795 Thanks and we're glad you enjoyed the video.
Hassan put some timber on lol
I've been using the extra length on the lead for ages. I haven't lost a fish on choddies since. Great topic and great video but the host keeps interrupting the bloke!
Thanks for the feedback James!
@@gardnertackle my pleasure mate. I'd love to know more about Matt's choddy hookbaits!
Can't see the rig zoom in for christ sake' otherwise a good tutorial. 😎
Better to show rig and components on a white surface from above to see them , and a lot less talking over someone
Yes let the man speak very frustrating for all
9 minutes in and I turned off, there's absolutely no need to cast out and then wave your rod around like a wally so you can 'lay your leader out' just cushion the drop of the lead like every one else does, the chod will be at the top bead when you cast out and the force pushes it back and also when it hits the water the bait pops ups, hence why you use a pop up lol
The pop up doesnt automatically make its way up to the top of the leader, hence the same method is applied by multiple chod anglers ie Terry, Nige and Matt. He didnt say you need to wave the rod about, you just have to life it up to a 90 degree angle and then feel the lead down as normal. You stick to half-arsed chucks, Matt’s results speak for themselves
@@Hutch3572 pull you're tongue from their arses, of course the pop up hits the top bead its the force of the cast causing it to travel up the leader, when the lead hits the water and you cushion it down your doing the same as this wamble in the video with out waving your rod about aimlessly, go away and come talk to me about chods when your tongues clean 🙄🙄🙄
Please try not to finish the guests sentences 👍🏼
Great insight for chod fishing but let the man speak. The presenter asks a question then soon as Matt starts talking he has to talk over him so annoying
Great stuff, but interviewer needs to just let Matt flow, because I’m missing out on bits because he is being talked over.
It’s like a competition over who knows the most down the pub. Sometimes it’s like “mate shut up a second”. Bit of insecurity going on with the host I think 🙄
it would be good to show the rig to the camera and not to the fellow in front of you
The presenter is so annoying during this podcast! Let your guest explain without you butting in every sentence!!
Well said Ben. So irritating. The presenter is there to get the guest speaking, but with respect, stop talking at that point.
