All the young uns need to be warned that there's a bit of Chilly in all of us, and the older you get, the more he appears, and the less you'll put up with the nonsense side of carping. 😂
😂😂😂
I couldn't agree more about the hooks, I don't understand people sharpening hooks to within an inch of its life 😂
*Chilly likes this comment*
Can you sharpen the hook when you use a Ronnie rig?
I think that youtuber Matthew collins or whatever he is called started all this, he says things so confidently that weak minded people take his opinions as fact
OMG, how I’d like to sit and talk with Ian! We are completely on the same page…great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just seems like a proper irratated old fella that thinks all opinions are 100% right my dads getting like this with age talks about opinions and how you shouldnt get annoyed its just an opinion then gets annoyed when someone else has one 😂😂😂 if somthing works for someone fair play theres flaws in most things people do
Yup, he's just a pub bore
Can use use the 378 rig on the surface or is the Ronnie the best for zigs ?
Dont need the music. Is it just me who enjoys the sounds of the sounds of nature and even the traffic? Puts me into The pond frame of mind when watching it.
I love chilly straight to the point good on you mate no nonsense says it as it is 👍
Keep well my friend being ex para sergeant major, you better listen in !!!!!!😮😅❤
Regards Lee
One of the best interviews ever! Just straight down the line stuff, honestly is the best policy! And in total agreement about rigs... I still use a bog standard hair rig for my bottom baits!
Iv gone back to the hair rig after 3 yrs of other rigs. Strangely iv started catching more than on other rigs…..
Cheers Chilly 🎣🎣
Sometimes simplicity is best 👌🏻 Which other rigs did you try?
@@fox_international Ronnie, stiff hinge, chod and multi for wafters, but all gave an issue, nothing picked them up, So I put on a hair rig with a line aliner and boom,
@@eamonburrows8613 Ive done the same and the basic rig with a good curve shank hook is the best.
Anyone who thinks a Ronnie rig isn’t effective is being ignorant. There super effective if used correctly. Because one man don’t like it don’t mean it’s not a great rig. Yes it’s over engineered but does it matter. Hooks can be changed in seconds and the boom sections last years.
Same as hand sharpened hooks. Do your own snd it will improve the hook ratio. But they have there place. Snags and weed I’ll always opt for an out the packet there been checked as even there can be burred over or in bad shape.
Do what makes you confident regardless of others.
absolutely Confidence is key
Wouldnt say ronnie is the most effective, yes you can change your hook fast but im just a normal person i have time to tie rig up hand
You're doing more harm than good trying to sharpen an hook once you take the coating off it will deteriorate faster.
Correct , but using a corrosion liquid they last 24hrs easily. You’re talking 30p a hook. Yet people sit behind £1000s worth of gear and worry over 30p
Well said Chilly! I can remember the days every man and his dog were using a chod rig! I’ve never used a Ronnie as the 360 is more than adequate.
I love catching carp, I love the fact that for decades everyone has known the best
Tried most of the rigs including the ronnie got myself a bit confused so decided sod it i go back to simple rig fluro with soft braid hair whipped on , no bits and pieces at all no swivels no putty nice and invisible just to be slightly different its been working very well , love chillys very wise words
proper old school tactics that and absolutely deadly!
@@fox_international that's good to know I will carry in with using that 👍
Ronnie rigs - It's an effective rig and one of the best ways to present a low sitting pop-up. Is it revolutionary? No, as chilly said it's just a different take on the 360.
Hand sharpened hooks - Not always necessary or wise as removing material from the point makes it more fragile but as we rely on self hooking properties in most of our carp fishing tactics I can never say a sharper hook is a bad thing. Hook sharpness out of the packet is better than it's ever been but that doesn't mean it can't be better, you can get a knife off the shelf that will dice up a tomato with no trouble but if you want something you can shave with then you're going to have to sharpen it further.
Won't take a floater in here - Nonsense. They might not come up like a pack of piranhas at the first drop of a dog biscuit but on the right day and with the right approach to feeding there is always an opportunity.
They don't count off the top - I'd argue they count for more at times because of the work required and the risks taken with lighter gear.
I've just caught an upper 20 - No real opinion on this. As long as they're not lying about catching or guestimating badly I don't really care what someone else caught. As a fishery manager I'm interested in exact weights if possible (ideally witnessed by myself to ensure accuracy) to monitor the growth and health of my stock but it doesn't take long to work out whose scales/eyes can be trusted. If people want to lie then that's for them to live with, it doesn't matter to me, I'll always take the lower reading on a scale when it's jiggling around if I'm looking at a PB.
nice, thanks for sharing your opinion ✌️
Love it! Chilly has SPOKEN...end of!
👌🏻
Opinions are like arseholes, and this one is mine…JUST LOVE IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been watching this video for less than a minute and I bloody love it already.
I’ve only got a small fraction of Chilly’s experience but I think his beef with the spinner rig is mostly based on sympathy for Dave Lane, not hard fact. The spinner objectively has the better mechanics in most if not all situations. No undesirable leverage, no eyes sticking out. The only advantage of a 360 I can think of is that it can present a pop up a few mm closer to the deck if balanced right, which can be an edge. Doesn’t matter much to me though as I mostly fish spinner rigs with wafters (aka turbo German rig). He’s spot on with the rest of his rant though 😅
a very well though out comment! Thanks 👌🏻 Is there anything else you'd like to hear Chilly share his opinions on??
no@@fox_international
Handsharpen hooks Catch more carp 😊and the Ronnie dose catch more 🎉🎉🎉
😂😂😂
Let’s hear Chilly talk about his opinions on the magic twig 😁🙏🏻🤣
that would be interesting. anything else you'd like him to give his opinion on?
@@fox_international I'd like to hear Chilly's views on the complex challenges faced by the world markets as the global economic forum engages in political and civil society to shape financial and industrial agendas while attempting to uphold high standards of governance and moral intellectual integrity.
I look forward to the man's inciteful opinion.
Hi Dave. Can you use a Ronnie rig with blue plastic sweetcorn ?
@@davestone2939 took the words right out of my mouth
@@davestone2939 maybe something on religion as well? :D
New to carping as an adult (used to fish on bread and float when i was a nipper) glad i found this chan n video🎉, literally have a bundle of ronnie rigs in my amazon basket... quickest empty basket i think I've had😂
Honest opinion from a very knowledgeable angler. Nice to see.
Well said IAN, 100% TRUE!!!!!!!! TIGHTLINES MATE!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed this video 👌🏻
Tell em Ian, tell em! 💪🏻👍🏻
🔥🔥 Is there anything else you like Chilly to "tell em"?
Well said, I would never use a rig with that amount of hardware and metal jangly bits. A simple mono d-rig for me
you don't see many using a mono d-rig, big edge! 🙌
Great advice Chilly as a 73 yr old ( well I will be in 5 days time See what I did there 😂) who only started fishing a few years ago I need all the advice I can get.
I still use a blow back rig cant ever thought it and its wat im confident in using and tying
an excellent rig 🙌
Mad respect for the bloke,his mindset, and his fishing.
Very interesting video, l'm not a carp angler, l fish for pike, chub and perch but l do agree on the hook sharpening comment from lan, if the hook isn't sharp out of the packet l'll get another hook out of the packet, the exception to this are the hooks on my lures which are checked regularly and touched up if needed.
Thank you "Chilly". Awesome truth on all points. And i catch a lot of my fish of the top with bread on my fly rod in South Africa. Loving it.
Chilly is my fishing hero! I agree 100%!
He is a legend!👌🏻
Haha I'm just like him....my views are exactly the same!! Just say it how it is and fish how you want to fish. Think outside the box instead off following the trend.
I think and use good old school basic tactics and have plenty of success.
Personally I think carping has gone way to technical but each to there own I guess
i'm after a 20lb Common, this morning I had a 19lb 15oz PB Common, not 20lb on the nose!!
I agree with everything Chilly said but one!
The Ronnie rig fished with a bottom bait boilies is the best rig I've ever used! I've easily caught more fish on this rig then any other.
The honesty in fish weights has always bothered me also, 30 on the nose, so 29lb 14oz then 😂
My opinion on this is that I bloody loved it. Especially the bit where chilly says his TV screen is his brolley door 👌
I to would never ever take a telly on the bank but do know people who do take them. There is to much to enjoy on any session on any lake.
Don't ever change, wise words. That was near 20 minutes of truths 😂
😂😂 What else would you like Chilly to talk about?
Big shout out to Ian chilly I am a supporter of Ian love your videos got your books leather bound of course a really good carp angler old school . Thank you chilly keep on carp fishing very best wishes from Mr Ben Golby 👌 👍
💪
Ignore them mate . You keep doing what you do pal . You are the best
German rig for 20 years now with a few twists as a bottom or pop up great watch love the chilly spitting his truths 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
When I tie my own rigs I just do a standard knotless knot and when I lose a fish it just a hook pull very rare that it happens
sounds ideal 👌🏻
I am not a massive Ronnie fan, nor am I someone who hand sharpens my own hooks, but then I don’t fly fish either 🤷🏻♂️ different strokes for different folks……along as it’s a safe rig!
Not sure what the aim was with this video FOX 🥱🥱😂
To spark debate and some light entertainment, Chilly is one of carp fishing's great characters and whilst not all his opinions are shared with ours we are happy to let him share his views as it does raise some interesting arguments. It's up to the viewer so choose which side of the fence they sit on.
Once a Para, always a bloody Para 🤪
I’ll admit I’ve never used a hand sharpened hook, nor have I ever used a Ronnie/Spinner Rig. But having said that, I’ve never used the 360 Rig either.
@Che76193 yeah, he was genuinely a Para. He was a Sgt too, apparently.
I’ve got nothing but respect for Ian Chilcott, he’s been through a lot.
He wasn’t a Para he was a Signaller but he was para trained.
@@justinmarch-dj7wz well I feel stupid now.
I did a static jump at Weston On the Green. I kissed the ground like the fuckin Pope when I landed.
The best true statements I have ever listened to, well done Chilli a fantastic short podcast/interview which I couldn't agree more with you.
It's a numbers game in captures or losses, all bullshit, not many if not very few have served what we call the apprenticeship, go to a big fish water with tackle only days old, never used before, catch a bigun, and then are experts, all bollocks.
Glad you enjoyed it 👌🏻
Well put Chilly, nice to hear an honest opinion and hopefully someone people well learn to think for themselves and not just follow the latest trends,etc, for the sake of it. There's a time and place for all different rigs, baits, methods, etc. The more tricks you can have up your sleeves, the knowledge you have got to use it your head and knowing when to use the right options, makes you better anglers. One trick pony's do have good days but but a more rounded angler will get the best out of ever day!!! Can't wait for your next video Chilly, keep up the great work 👍
Maybe chillys rigs should be put on an underwater video 🤷
He uses stiff hinge i believe
That could be an idea 👀👀
Id be interested to see if his rigs get ejected and if so do they reset themselves every time.
A carp off the top is my favourite carp!
Love it Chilly, so true on everything. There's so many carp anglers out there who are totally clueless, just like sheep they all follow the latest trends, makes me smile
I love chilly always has his heart on his tongue 💪🏻💪🏻
I agree with the weight thing... tell us the weight in lbs and ounces!! Another one for me is when anglers go abroad, they have to say the weight in kg 😂
😂😂
What can I say, completely on the same page. All experience, no BS_
I’ve got to say chillie is spot on as there is so much crap in today’s carp fishing . The hair rig be it kd style , blowback,knotless knot , etc is just another take on the first hair rig and for pop ups you carnt beat the good old hinged stiff rig
I guess I have always taken Ian for granted. Don't get me wrong I know his a good angler and for that he has always had respect but there are bigger names that I tried to learn bits from. Im just so gob smacked as to how much he says is what I believe. .
Ian I salute you. 🎣
Spot on Chilly.
I was using a version of the Ronnie in eary 2000s on the car park and I certainly didn't invent it way back then. Take care my old mate
Never sharpened any hook, once used the same hook over several trips at Marsh Farm and had 20+ Crucian Carp and Tench on it.
Absolutely spot on that man!!!
Wish more people were like Ian. Cmon Chilly!!!!!
Excellent thoughts Chilly I like the common sense attitudes about the "hype" surrounding carp fishing
Yes mate! Finaly someone talking common sense!! 👍👍👍
Woop 🙌 Anything else you'd like to hear Chilly discuss?
Brilliant video and some good points made and like some on here I have a problem with something.
It’s “sharpened” not shapened.
Maybe fox need a proof reader?
I’m your man!!
top bloke and very interesting.
Top Bloke indeed 🔥🦊
Our club has several waters where they don't take off the top.
While this is a well known fact among the Carp Cognoscenti of the club no one has bothered to tell the carp.
But it does catch fish
Chilly is a great carp angler no questions but I have had more Carp using a Ronnie rig and 360 spninner rig but love your views
Totally an agree especially on the Ronnie rig when used with stiff booms, never had so many ejections. Can’t beat a blow back rig with snowman. Old school whilst all the younguns have swivels, putty and god knows what else jangling around on the end.
I really like this guy he is not afraid to tell it like it is.
I’d like
To shake his hand great interview
So meny people have said it all in the comments. But we'll SAID about all the topics you was talking about love this footage 💯
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌👌🏻
Love it mr chillcott Some one actually speaking sense, big thumbs up from me all the best pal.
Is the Ronnie rig used for surface fishing ?
No buddy, the Ronnie was invented to be able to fish with pop ups over virtually any lake bed
Can it be used in the margins or best in open water?
Good to see you back
Back with a bang 🔥
Agree 100% with Ian about the hooks, just a marketing ploy by tackle company's to get people to buy more gear. If a hook is dull change it, it's as simple as that. Cannot comment on Ronnie rigs, never used one. My philosophy is kis, keep it simple!!
Love your honesty ian ,cheers matt hunt
👌🏻
Just keep doing what you do.
🙌🙌
Haha, good video and a great laugh, it is what it is as they say.
Love Chilly. The graphics and videos added to this meant I couldn't watch it all the way through though...
Iv caught carp off the surface at my local runs water most this winter and people think surface fishing in winter isn’t worth it believe me it is don’t get me rong it’s not easy you may get one or two short windows through the day when they take
It isn’t if the carp are worth catching.
Did you use a Ronnie rig on the surface. I'm new to carp fishing
@@user-bl5jr5vz6i: He did try it but it sunk !!
I've lost as many carp that I've landed fishing the Ronnie rig. Because of this ratio in my fishing, I haven't cast a Ronnie for a few years now
Which rig do you use now?
@@fox_international i went back to my trusty multi rig for popups. I will always try to use a snowman blowback rig though. I have so much confidence with it
Now there we have it to the point 👍
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
He still is
In 46 years of carp fishing ive seen some crap over the years about this rig is the ultimate best ever but some rigs are genuinely great.I still catch on snowman set ups catch all the time.
Agreed… what is wrong with using a hair rig with 2 pieces of corn?
When it comes to weight I just don't weigh mine
good skills 👍
The 360 rig was banned because it’s a dangerous rig when not tied with shrink tube over the eye. Not because of jealousy.
Great vlog chilly keep em coming
Completely! Agree with everything he said cant stand when people make out there fish is bigger then it really is a fish is a fish and saves a blank. Cany understand why people change there rigs every 20-30 minutes leave it there and the fish will find it keep putting it out there you will never catch
caught loads of fish on resharpened hooks. I do not thing it has affected my fishing rates one iota.
Chilly hitting us with the facts here. Heard everything mentioned when out on the bank
Every rig since the hair is based on the hair it’s a bait not directly attached to the hook .the multi rig is good as you can change the hook easily and it hooks well with pop ups ,bog standard hair rigs of various lengths in hair and hook link still work great on bottom baits and balanced baits .Some of the stuff I see put on rigs these days is getting mind numbing ,I would rather find the fish and use a good baiting program or method of baiting to catch a few ,the most fangled complicated rigs won’t get you a single bite if your not in the right area .
problem is that alot off people dont know how to sharpen a hook.. i sharp knives 4living so hook is easy mode... and people have wrong tools for the job....
i tested a ronnie rig vs hair on a runs water (3 sessions) with both rods in the same baited swim. i had much better numbers on the hair rig. i do not bother with ronnie rigs now
fishing the same rigs for 20 + years , always catching ,and Everywhere i go catching ! hooks the same use what you thrust , and dont swim with this " we have the solution " streams , the wheel cant be invented twice ! and one thing i have learned over the years , when it works use it !! my main concern is baits not rigs , if your bait is crap you wil catch ... sometimes , if you use quality baits and you feed with it a bit you will see the improvement
I am completely gobsmacked by opinionated old men with silly moustaches and leg tattoos.
a very specific demographic to be gobsmacked by
Incredible video "chilly" well played 👏👏I've been a carp angler for nearly 40 years im not at all famous in the game but my mindset has always been like what your saying. Never trust the bs and most of all don't listen to anyone on the bank, they talk a good show but generally it's all negatively, I wouldn't fish on that spot mate🤢 I wouldn't use that bait mate🤢 I wouldn't use that rig on here mate🤢 cos they have blanked themselves, why wouldn't they use their own advise to catch a carp, so boring..rant over....tight lines people good luck
I dont think people understood the start of the video 😂 everyone has a opinion and this is his, hes not saying hes right but thats his opinion 👍 good to see you at the weekend and put the world to right Chilly 😂👌
There's no difference between using a hook straight out of the packet once and using a sharpend hook once. Same thing mate.
You can use a hook over an over again until you catch a fish .. you chuck that sharpened hook in the water .. I rest my case
@@davidbennett787 clueless
Watch any video showing carp feeding under water. Most of the time when they’re spooked it’s because they’ve seen a ronnie rig. I’m not saying they don’t catch, but I am saying they don’t work as well as some people claim.
The bloke is nuts, but in a great way,lol, his track record of catching some great fish, u can only take on board that what he says is the truth, the bloke is a legend, love his videos
I couldn't agree more with everything said in this.
YESSS!! What else would you like to hear chilly give his opinion on?
@@fox_internationalbait additives like the famous "goo"
I cannot agree with u enough when people say mid 20 low 30s u never understand how much it get to me one of my most hated sayings and when people say this carp have never been caught and there holding it so it have 🤦♂️
Also when people stand in a inch of water a foot from there peg with waders on why not just stay on the peg 🤦♂️
And cannot get caught on the top is the most baffling stupid thing ever
This Guy is legend. Best video of the truth in the carpfishing scene i have seen in a long time.
We couldn't agree more 👌🏻👌🏻
The people that think carp off the top don't count are really just bream anglers so they don't count.
😂😂😂
Love the german turbo rig caught boat loads of carp on it chilly tells it as it is great guy,Dave Lane is an angling Legend in my opinion
Seen some hooks "sharpened" to the point its not even the same hook lol.
We love you Chilly lad.❤😂
I'm from Chelmsford Essex and there's alot of bad 👎 herb..and extortionate prices..Its Trust I can't find any one who is honest or regular..My good nature
