- This running lead setup works on all bottom types: from gravel and silt to rocks and weed

Running rigs are great because they give you fantastic bite indication. Because the lead stays on the bottom of the lake, you have a direct connection between the carp and your rod. The downside with running rigs is that if you’re fishing in rocks or weed, the lead can get trapped and it can be harder to land the fish. What I’m showing in this video is a running lead that is designed to only dump the lead when absolutely necessary. This makes it a universal running rig that can be used in any fishing situation. There’s a lead free leader version and a rig tubing version.

In this video I highlight the power of a very old fashioned technique, known as the “rotten bottom”. It’s been around for years and it has been used by carp anglers in the past but it’s certainly been left behind in the world of modern carp fishing. It’s easy to do, super cheap and adaptable to a whole range of carp fishing situations. It’s better for your pocket, the environment and it’s safer for the carp so there are lots of pluses. If you’re already using the method, I'd love to hear from you!
Death rig if line breaks fish is towing leader , shameful 😔
Hi Matt which fishery do you fish at and how do I book?
@@damiankay4329 Hi Damian, so these videos are filmed at my lake in France called Beausoleil Carp and Cats, here’s the link: www.frenchcarpandcats.com. We don’t do drive and survive, it’s only rented out on an exclusive basis, lake and self-catering house, for a week for 3 or 4 anglers. Cheers, Matt.
@@stephenwade5864, this could be said with any breakage, where any bit of a rig becomes a tether of sorts. The only way for this not to occur with a hooked fish, is for the breakage to occur at the hookeye. I do not use lead free or leaded leaders, I use mono for mainline, etc. minus the hook length. That said, I would argue it is no more a death rig than any other used day in and day out. Just my opinion.
Not just for lake fishing either. Ideal for rocky river beds too. If you get snagged up only the lead is lost without loss of line and hook length. Brilliant. 👏👏
Clear and concise video as always Matt. Tying leads on is indeed an old trick that I must confess I haven’t really given much thought to in years. More fool me. This video has indeed given food for thought and I will be putting it into practice soon enough.
Thanks as always for taking the time to make these informative and helpful videos. Much appreciated kind sir. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks very much Darren 👍
Matt what a great video, ive tied my leads on since the 90s no other reason than fish safety, i think a big problem now a days is its not in fashion so im not using it, sometimes the old ways are the best ways, 100% well done Matt
Hi Terry, thanks very much! Always great to chat to an angler that is familiar with such “old school” tricks. All the best with your fishing. Cheers, Matt.
Another brilliant easy to follow video. Very informative and educational. thanks Matt. Keep them coming 👌👍
Glad you enjoyed that one 👍
I've used this rig with no problems also used fox running rig with the PVA plug with no problems dumping lead when caught in weed every fisherman should watch your videos
Thanks very much 👍
Another great video ! This is my favourite rig to fish with.
Cool, great to hear from another fan of the rotten bottom 😊
Informative and gets me thinking about what i am actually doing. Thanks mat👍
That's great to hear mate, thanks 😊
Excellent video thanks and as always easy to understand and follow 👍 😀
Thanks very much Nick 👍
Another great video buddy. Thanks
Many thanks mate 👍
Brilliant thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much mate 😊
Thanks Matt, great and interasting video. Greetz from 🇳🇱
Thanks very much 👍
As a newbie to carp fishing this is very informative many thanks I’ll be trying this out asap
Great, have fun with it and I hope you find plenty of useful info on the channel to help you on your journey 😊
Excellent!!! Sir Matthew thank You so much for the great tutorial, for the great video!!! I wish You Victories!!!
Thank you very much and I wish you much success in your fishing 🎣
Simply another top fact filled video 👌👌
Thanks very much Stephen 😊
I made a couple of these up before I went to a water I had been to before but didn't catch anything. I used this particular rig on the water and within 10 minutes hooked a carp. I will now try these on our club waters and see what the result will be.
As a novice carp angler becomming on age I watch your video's with the greatest interest. This subject, the rotten bottem, is what I was looking for. I already changed all my rigs and will give them a try next weekend. Also your thoughts about hook choice, curved and chod style hooks, will examined. Looking foreward for many new ideas from you Matthew. All the best, Michael from Belgium.
Hello Michael, thanks very much for your comment and I'm glad my videos can help you in your fishing. All the best next time you're out. Cheers, Matt
Another great video will definitely try this, as dropping leads does become a bit expensive after a bit, keep the videos coming mate
Thanks very much Mark 👍
Thank you for this video, after you suggested the running rig to me i was looking at several video's and i was absolutely confused on how this can effectively hook a carp, now i know.
Great to hear, glad the video helped. I only fish running rigs and do extremely well on them. The takes are spectacular!
@@matthewcollinsangler i found some leadclips in my tacklebox that need a pin to lock the swivel, so without the pin they are basically running rigs, i'm gonna try those and i bought the no escape leadclips from carp whisperer, so i will also try those.
@@yentegoossens3244 Hi Yente, I know it sounds like a good idea and I know that some high profile anglers promote the use of this technique but I don't recommend it as it can easily result in a carp becoming tethered in the event of a mainline failure. Watch this video to understand why: czcams.com/video/a6WI6Y1o_Xk/video.html Regards, Matt.
@@matthewcollinsangler i see, what if i use it with durakord instead of rig tubing? Because if i understand correctly, it's the rig tubing that causes issues.
Regards, Yente
@@yentegoossens3244 Hi Yente, I can see why you’d think that it’s okay to do that. I didn't cover that in the video as I didn't want to add too much material to one video. It is something I have experimented with. The trouble is the hole in the tail rubber and the lead clip itself is very small and easily blocked. It’s much smaller than the diameter of a run ring for example. In the event of a jam up, you still have the problem of the tail rubber being forced tighter onto the lead clip leg which is exactly the opposite to what we want. I would still not recommend the use of a lead clip in this manner. If you want to use a swivel lead, it’s much safer to use a run ring and add a rotten bottom connection or use a plastic ring that fails at a certain load. I’ll be doing videos on these setups in the future.
Here’s a photo from instagram on a breakaway lead setup I’ve been using successfully this year on the river:

Great video , thank you
Thanks for the support Nick, much appreciated.
THANK YOU MAN...
You're welcome 😊
Going to be testing out a running rig tomorrow, have been using the clip system since I started buy since seeing your video about how easily they can fail and then testing my own setups I can see exactly what you talk about and how bad it can be for the fish if it can't shake the cover off of the clip. These are only small F1/2s I'm after tomorrow so hoping for some good results!
Great to hear you're giving running rigs a go, doesn't matter the size of carp I'm fishing for, running rigs always work. All the best mate 👍
Hi Matt great video , will look at giving this a try , what make are the components for the tubing version ,
Great channel as looking to learn more on carping side
Hi Dean, thanks for commenting and I am glad that you find our work useful. All items featured are made by Nash. For the tubing version those items included a helicopter sleeve, quick change uni swivel, tungsten anti tangle sleeve (short) and 12lbs Zig-Flo. Hope that helps. Cheers, Matt.
Hi mat I’m a newbie are in line leads just as good as this system?
Great video but was wondering what knot to use to join ready made lead core leader with loop at one end to my mainline?. Thanks
another good video, i fish a lot of weeded up waters come summer mainly along the nene valley got a ticket for ecton this year they don't treat the weed so it gets proper carpy by july, never tried a run rig i mainly fish a heli which can be a pain when they are doing you over with ease, might try a runrig on one rod see how i get on, was thinking of adding a small section of the korda boom to the area where the rig sits on the mainline of a heli set up, about 6 inches held with shrink tube and a bit of tubing over the top to cover the stiffer section, thinking it may stiffen up the mainline line at the lead giving better contact with the lead? can't see it being a problem, not sure if it will work the way i hope though.
Hi mate, thanks for commenting. You can incorporate this rotten bottom trick into a heli setup. We’ve filmed a video on that but it’s not been published yet. I’m really not sure about the addition that you suggest. It all sounds rather complicated. I like to keep things uber simple as you can probably tell. The great man himself TH ties on his leads when fishing in weed. There are lots of factors to consider in weed as it varies greatly as I’m sure you know. The aim of this video was to remind anglers that there are other options other than just dump the lead on a lead clip. Cheers, Matt.
Matt, I have been looking for a way to streamline what I chuck out for rigs, lead arrangements, baits, etc. I too like running rigs, I prefer them over any other type of setup. Thank you for this video. I began sorting through leads and tied up several of these in preparation for an upcoming session. Can't wait to see how much better they fly versus other rigs, lead clips, etc. Awesome, short, sweet, simple. Cheers.
Hi mate, I think it’s healthy to pare things back from time to time. Cut out the clutter and focus on what really matters. The mono hair is very anti tangle with minimum drag. Combined with a simple running rig and a sharp hook it’ll catch from most waters. Best of luck with it. Cheers, Matt.
@@matthewcollinsangler hi mate. It has been awhile. I am out on a 4 night, 5 day session here in the US. I have setup the running rigs, as you describe here. I have 5 fish so far. 3 of which have been foul hooked. Would there be any reason this setup would or could produce foul hooking? First fish was foul hooked in lower fin, the second, just under the bottom of the mouth. My mate here says it is because I do not have a bead or stopper above the swivel, so the fish just goes and goes. Maybe I am misunderstanding the rig, this version or my mate. Any thoughts? Thanks mate. Cheers!
@@t3angling575 Hi mate, I’ve been using running rigs and coaching anglers at my lake to use running rigs for the last 12 years, running rigs do not cause foul hooking so I’m afraid I don’t agree with your friend's suggestion (which could potentially be dangerous). For me, the most common cause of foul hooking is bait buoyancy and/or hook link length. I use bottom baits for most of my angling and you’ll never have a foul hooking problem with a bottom bait and an 6 to 12” rig. Obviously I’m talking about boilies here. If you’re fishing lighter baits then a short hook link can exacerbate the problem as the carp movement will get the rig lifting, swinging and pivoting. The other common cause of foul hooking are short zigs or high pop ups. Without seeing your setup in detail it’s difficult to be more specific but I hope this helps out. Cheers, Matt.
@@matthewcollinsangler thank you mate. I typically run hook length to 6 1/2 - 7 inches. I use either a standard hair rig, or KD rig for 90% of my fishing. I have the running rig setup exactly as you have it. Using a 3 oz flat pear lead. Very simple setup.
@@t3angling575 In that case you shouldn't have any issue with foul hooking unless your baits are very light. I have found that at certain times of year, especially in the run up to spawning, carp feed differently and that if you use a grubbing style mix it can drive them so wild that they get foul hooked. My solution to this would be to fish over a wider spread of baits to force them to pick up individual food items.
Thanks
Thanks very much for your support! We've got more content on the way 😊
i could tie on stones with this method , for putting out rods by boat, even more interesting.
could set it up that the line rips with minimum force, don´t have to reel in that heavy stone.
guess i try that this season.
Thanks Matt
Hi mate, yes absolutely there’s lots of possibilities here. Although I don’t fish with stones when I go river carping I do use this method a lot on the river due to the underwater hazards. You just have to work out a method for attaching the stone to a swivel reliably and cheaper. Best of luck! Matt.
Hi, nice info in your materials.Regarding running rig, carp doesn' t always run oppoisite to the bank.
Hi Rene, I’m glad that you liked the video. You are absolutely right but that (for me) is the other big advantage of the running rig. Whether they move, left, right or back towards you, you will get an indication. It might only be slight but it’s enough to tell you that something is going on down there and when it develops into a more positive indication you can choose to do something about it. All the best, Matt.
Hello Matthew, I watched this video again and still have a question about it. You use 2 ounces of pear lead. The lead is only to hold the bait in place. I think I can use a standard swivel lead. What is your view on the lead to be used?
Hi there, you can use any shape of lead you want.
Look, that's an answer, very clear, thank you.
@@matthewcollinsangler Look, that's an answer, very clear, thank you.
Hello Matthew, first of all my compliments on your movies. I think many of us anglers, including me, like the 'no nonsense' style of your fishing and your explanation why you fish this way. No commercial reasons, just fishing this way because it's 'the best' way. I really want to try fisging with the running lead system but I have a question on the lead. Do you use different sorts of lead/weight or do you have like a standard 'go to lead' you use for almost any type of water when fishing running lead system. Cheers and keep up the filming!
Hi, thank you very much for the feedback and the support! That means a lot. I try to use the lightest lead I can, but I rarely drop below 2oz. My go to lead for a running rig is a 3oz pear (swivel lead). Good for lakes and rivers and short to medium range. For inline leads, I use 3oz as well but as a flat pear. All the best in your fishing 😊
Hi Matthew great video I’m going to try this rig on my session tonight, just a quick question can I use the running rig if I use slack lines and if so can you explain as I don’t understand how the led drives the hook in 👍🏼
Hi George, you can fish running rigs with a tight line, slack line or semi slack, or back leads. What’s important is that you need to have a very solid bankside setup and fish a semi tight clutch. With a running rig, I’m not creating the bolt effect with the lead but I am creating a much bigger bolt effect with my clutch because it’s the clutch that’s doing the hooking of the carp. I’m also using the elasticity of the mono and the free running ledger to make it incredibly difficult for the carp to spit out the rig. I know it’s a leap of faith and it’s very different to traditional semi fixed rigs but give it a go, you won’t regret it 😊
@@matthewcollinsangler perfect mate thanks allot for the reply and the info you have given me I’ll try it on my session tonight and see how I get on
Hello there! Thanks a lot for loads of informative and useful tutorials!
I got a question: fishing myself alsmost always with braid, does your shown rig work as well with this?
Thank You in advance! 😃
Hi, great to hear you like the channel!
Yes absolutely, whether you fish with braided hook link or mainline, this is a good safe setup, just choose the right thickness of mono to suit your lead size and fishing situation.
Regards, Matt
Are you using this instead of your shock and run rig now, is is there any things better other than dropping the lead. Great vid as always m8, i look forward to sunday uploads from you :)
Hi Mate, I’m always experimenting with better and safer ways to fish for carp and this is just one of them. You can incorporate the same concept into the shock and run rig by replacing the quick link for a rotten bottom. That way you get the best of both systems. The best alternative to dropping leads on the take is to use some form of running lead system. You can use this one, my original inline setup or the shock and run. As long as the lead is safely retained but the carp can’t use it to eject the lead, then it's all good 😊 Cheers, Matt.
@@matthewcollinsangler That's a great thought m8, will defo try and incorporate this into my fishing. Looking forward to some new rig videos in the future 👍
Would you use this over an inline set up in most situations if so, what situation’s would you use a inline set up in. Thanks
Swivel leads cast better than inline which means they are a better all round choice. I would still usually opt for an inline lead in a bait boat or bushwhacker because there is less to go wrong. Solid PVA bags also require inline leads.
Hi matt I have recently purchased some of the pb products hit and Run system's. Have you got any opinions on these
Hi Ian, that’s a really interesting question and as you’ll see from my response, it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while lol. I haven't personally fished with this system myself. I know that it’s hugely popular with the Dutch anglers. I have met some Dutch guests that have used this system so I’ve been able to have a good chat with them about it and have a poke and a play. To be honest, one of the reasons why I’ve not even tested it is that I don’t like it. I understand the principle. I understand how it’s meant to work. In fact the effect you get from it is exactly the same shock and run effect that I’ve been engineering into my rigs for many years. If you’ve not watched them, check these links to some other videos: czcams.com/video/hoHB1gi_sQs/video.html, czcams.com/video/ED58TfFEcqM/video.html, czcams.com/video/aBvZyHBCyAE/video.html.
The trouble is that with the hit and run system, in order for the rig to become safe (in the event of a mainline failure), the leader and any remaining mainline has to pass through the tail rubber and then the clip body. Carp lakes are dirty places. It only takes one tiny bit of shit and the system will jam up and that lead won’t discharge. Personally I prefer a simple running lead setup. There is less to go wrong and that’s important for me. Cheers, Matt
@@matthewcollinsangler thanks for your reply and opinion. I've been fishing a long time and always been a fan of the running set ups so thought I would try them .I've only just discovered your videos on CZcams and they make a lot of sense so might not be using long. Like the mono rigs thanks again
@@ianwaterhouse365 Yes, the mono rigs are simple, deadly and cheap 😉 Hope that you continue to enjoy the channel. Lots to explore and more content on the way. Cheers, Matt.
How would you fish an inline for this set up?
You can’t create a ‘breakaway’ lead with an inline lead (unless you use an outline/inline setup and dump the lead on the take). You can only do a rotten bottom with a lead that has a swivel. Cheers, Matt
@@matthewcollinsangler Thanks, so if I fish an inline, just fish it like a pva bag inline with the insert you mention in one of your videos?
@@richardsnape1025 Yes, like the one in this video: czcams.com/video/TPCvErlGGZ0/video.html
Matt, I’ve knocked up some of the zig line fluoro rigs, is the running rig effective if I use a quick change swivel instead of the uni ring swivel? Fits inside the shock bead fine.
@@richardsnape1025 Hi Richard, okay cool. Yes you can use whatever style of swivel you need because you already have a free rotational joint by nature of the running ledger. I often use a quick change swivel with a short tail rubber pushed over to hold the loop in place 👍
Great video again Matt👍. This can be a good way to dump the lead when there is no way around that. But in a case of a break-off the carp will still trail a length of leader material plus a long length of mainline in the worse case scenario. I prefer a system which leaves the carp with the hooklink only, like the helicopter system. Which only works correctly if you’re not dumping the lead I might add. You need an anker point so the carp can pull-off the hooklink off the mainline. Than there is nothing what can get tethered in a snag so it’s much safer for the fish. Fish safety is more than dumping the lead, it means to leave the carp with a minimal amount of tackle. I know you’re a Nash man and I too use a lot of theirs tackle but PB products have really thought this through in my option an have produced some outstanding lead systems regarding to fish safety. I am not getting paid by them btw. I use a helicopter whenever I can without a helisave or similar nonentity. I also have to add that the is not a 100% save system but that doesn’t mean we don’t own the carp to try to fish as save as possible.
Sorry Matt I used this space to ventilate my opinion about this matter. I really appreciate what you are doing here. Looking forward to your next contribution 💪😉.
Hi Louis, thanks very much as always for sharing your thoughts, it's very interesting. With regards to the carp towing the leader and line on a running rig: this is one of the reasons why I moved to barbless a few years ago. It doesn't take them very long to shake out a barbless hook so I’m happy from that standpoint. Helicopter setups are cool and I’ve worked out a way to incorporate a rotten bottom into a heli setup that only comes into operation if things go wrong. The connection is easily strong enough for the hooklink to come free from the top bead in the normal safe manner, but in a worse case scenario the lead will break free from the leader and save the day. That’s a subject for another video though!
Beste matthew kan je dit systeem ook direct op de hoofd lijn gebruiken en zonder het lood te dumpen
Yes that’s right. This is a running rig but it will only drop the lead when absolutely necessary so for example if it gets trapped in rocks or weed.
Thanks for the reaction love your video,s keep them coming 👍👍👍👍
In sea fishing we multiply by ten when casting, so a 2oz lead would require a 20lb leader. I'm amazed you're using a rotten bottom of 7lb for 80 yard casts. Sounds very, very risky.
Hi Ed, I’ve done quite a bit of sea fishing in the past. I can see why you’d think that but rated breaking strain doesn't really mean much (to me). It’s all about line diameter and the actual breaking strain of the knots you use. It also depends on the size of bait you use and how much drag you get. In this example I’m using a single 18mm bait which has very low drag.
It also depends on how smooth your technique is, what mainline you are using as that’s the key factor for the amount of drag you’ll suffer. In carp fishing we don’t bother with leaders below 30lbs as we just use mainline straight through. We don’t add a leader when using a 2oz lead as it's so light.
I’m using 9ft 3lb Nash Scopes and a 2oz lead and an 80 yards cast is just a quick punch. My lake is also quite sheltered so it’s not as though I’m trying to wang it out into a stiff breeze off the sea. If I was on a public venue with other anglers of course I’d play it safe and use something stronger. It’s all about fishing with what’s right for the situation, this is just an example of what you can do.
Cheers, Matt.
if someone likes littering the water t I recommend this way, it used to be no problem to take lead out of the water now you are racing one by the other who will become a larger garbage collector, it is sad because in a few years you will see the related problem. ☝
Can you 'slack line' when using a running rig
Hi mate, absolutely, it works well. Just make sure that your clutch is semi tight so that after the slack is gone, they hit the clutch and that actually hooks them fully. Watch my video on rod setup tips to get the best from this method: czcams.com/video/j_NSmA2CtQQ/video.html
Matt, you're right that this is an old skool method.However I would strongly advise against using this other than for underarm lobs close in. If your line snags during the cast, or you put excessive force when casting its a dangerous rig. There are far more effective ways of creating this. Sorry to criticise, as I've found some of your other vids very informative. But this is not a safe way of fishing, cracking off on the cast is made easy with light line and heavy leads.
Hi Ian, I totally appreciate your concern, there’s a time and place for this technique but I wanted to share it as I have found a use for it. As with any method it needs to be used in the right way at the right time and sure if you use light mono with a heavy lead then there is a risk of losing the lead on the cast. I tested this rig over the winter and I found that if I hit a cast way too hard on purpose, the lead separated during the casting phase and did not travel very far at all compared to the energy I put into the cast (20 yards was normal compared to enough oomp to go 90 yards if the link hadn’t broke). I was mainly fishing a 60 yard overhead lob with a 3oz lead and the line and knots I showed can handle that easily. I mainly use this method when river carping. I have to use big leads (up to 4.5oz) up to 80 yards so I use a heavier mono but something lighter than my 20lb mainline. I use it because I’ve found that with some makes of traditional lead clips, if the lead becomes stuck they can be hard to bust so the rotten bottom saves the day, especially when I’m fishing from the bank with no boat access. Hope that makes sense. Cheers, Matt.
Anyone know how I can make a running rig while still using a solid bag. I’m not allowed to use a leader of any type, only tubing.
I can’t think of a way I can use solid bags, tubing and running rigs together. I want to be able to tie up extra rigs and bags ready to go,but I can’t see how you can do it with out leaving a knot or loop that WONT PASS THROUGH THE TUBING. Basically I want to put the lead and hook link in a bag like normal. But how do I put a new bag on with the lead in the bag when I reel in without taking the tubing and everything off and starting a fresh. All I can think off is a pva stick or solid bag with the hook link pulled through but that leaves the lead out the bag. Anyone help? That is if anyone understands what I’m going on about 🤣
Cheers all 👍🏻
Hi James, if leaders are strictly banned then no, you cannot create a rig tubing based running inline lead system with quick change. Personally, if rules insist on rig tubing I would forget about solid PVA bags as it’s a bit of a pain. I would just use a PVA stick and be done with it. Some fisheries allow the use of PVA bag stems with rig tubing so the mainline knot sits above the lead at the join with the bag stem. Some would class this as a leader, (albeit a very short one) others would let it slide. I don’t use such systems or advocate their use as there are better and simpler options available. Your best bet is to contact the bailiff or fishery owner, explain what you want to do and ask him for advice as to what’s acceptable. Just be aware that most PVA bag stems are designed for specific leads and are designed to create a semi fixed setup. My advice would be to drill out the lead to create a free running inline setup. Hope that helps, Cheers, Matt.
@@matthewcollinsangler thanks Matt, that makes perfect sense. I feel like I have found an issue that needs addressing. Fish safety is paramount and if this could be addressed it would be a real game changer get in my eyes.
Thanks for vlogs. Wish I had the money and freedom to do what you do. Keep it up 👍🏻
A running lead rig would slide if main line in the event of a break cant get any safer than that. No need for any other modification
You’ve missed the point. He’s talking here about getting rid of the lead in weedy or snaggy situations to help land the fish safely not lose it in the event of a break. Obviously it will fall off if the line breaks.
Sorry just seen how 😂
Great mate 👍
