Winter Rig?

[Craftycarper]

So what are you lads using this winter?

I'm using korda maggot klipz tied to kryston merlin and flurocarbon and fishing with maggots

Also using Hearns hinge stiff rig for pop-ups

[Gemo]

I will be using two rigs a simple running rig made up from a Korda safezone leader with a buffer bead over the swivel. a 3oz inline lead with the internal sleeve removed and a shocker bead on the first tungsten bulge on the leader. Simple but very sensative and deadly effective. Hooks well Korda Wide gapes or Longshank X's dependant on the swim and bait. Hooklength Suffix Kamizan.
The other rig would be a Solar bag system again in conjuntion with a distance in line lead with a leadcore leader fisihing PVA bags of maggots. the rig would be a helicoptor style with a Rob Malin Mag aligner.
All we need now is some nice weather and to locate the hungry carp.

I'm going to try a Chod rig on one set up, with either a Pineapple pop up or a Tiger nut with fake corn. and as i put on the other page a Korda clip and Red maggots with Pinkies in a P.V.A bag.....zebs

Gemo... get off that rig mate... I was using it the weekend on a very hard water and I did friday until sunday and got 1 run... because of that stupid fairbrass rig the fish picked up the bait swam off felt the resistance of the bead and shook the rig right out of his mouth.

Give this set-up ago



Keep it simple

Tiger nut is deadly in the winter

lol Crafty why dnt you ask the bloke for his job hehe..... only jesting.. it depends what water im on and how the feel is.. the fish seem to be going off the maggot on the lakes around me and started going back on the meating/fishy boilies..

Thanks Crafty for the heads up on your weekends fishing with the "Danny Fairbrass rig" I am sorry to hear you dropped a fish. Rig mechanics are such that there are many reasons for then to fail including some very very crafy carp.
I cant dismiss this rig that done me personnaly so well through one failure though but I will take a note of what you are saying.
Off to Sandhurt this wekend for the Bubble do social I hope to bag one but with the amount of pressure on the lake I am not holding my hopes to high.

Tight lines Gemo mate, hope you pull a nice lump out. Sandhurst is a lake with real character in my opinion and would love to fish it if i can drag myself up that way sometime in the new year

I wish I could take his job... That rig cost me a fish which took me 5 days to get a run from (been there previously for a weekend and blanked)

Tight lines mate... There's some real lumps in there.. let's hope one of the monsters has ur smiley face behind it lol =]
