Hi Naz. If it's clean and I'm fishing a spread of boilie I usually a hinge. I tie my hinges with a braided boom, albrighted to the stiff srction, which allows me to fish it lower if I think I need a slightly more subtle presentation. Range would be another consideration. If I have to use a big lead to get the distance I'm likely to favour a hinge. I hope that helps.

@ thank you Matt for taking time to reply to my question. Been using your chod set up for a little while now and had some good fish on it. My hinge set up is very similar to yours as well as I incorporate a supple boom section to bristle filament so interesting enough it’s the same setup, not that I’m copying you lol 😂

It seems the new Podcast series is showing up on all podcast platforms apart from Spotify. We have found what the issue is and will rectify it ASAP.

Thanks Nigel. I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀

Thank you. 😀

Glad you enjoyed it Adam. 😀

Glad you enjoyed it! Plenty more to come with Matt.

Glad you liked the film Jamie and thanks for your comments 😀

@@matteaton7427 It was a cracker Matt, some great tips that I’ll put to use at some point I’m sure. Look forward to the next one 👍

It's just an alternative to using wrap sticks. I cast out and feel the lead down onto what seems like a good drop. I then count the turns as I reel in. Let's say it's 65 turns. I then cast around and find another spot at 40 turns. When it comes to casting rigs out I can a) backwind down the bank and clip up at the required number of turns b) backwind round wrap sticks c) cast out to the approx range (it's nearly always within a couple or 3 turns), clip up and adjust on the next cast. Once I've got it right I tie a line marker. Basically, whereas with wrapping sticks you'd clip up, reel in and wrap it out to find the distance, with this method I clip up, count the turns as I reel in and multiply by the amount of line each turn retrieves (2.5ft for my Tournaments). If I catch I can make a note of the number of turns to use on subsequent trips. Hope that helps Luke.

No worries Andy - I'll explain. I cast out and feel the lead down onto what seems like a good drop. I then count the turns as I reel in. Let's say it's 65 turns. I then cast around and find another spot at 40 turns. When it comes to casting rigs out I can a) backwind down the bank b) backwind round wrap sticks c) cast out to the approx range (it's nearly always within a couple of 3 turns), clip up and adjust on the next cast. Once I've got it right I tie a line marker. If I catch I can make a note of the number of turns to use on subsequent trips. Hope that helps.

To put it more simply, whereas with wrapping sticks you'd clip up, reel in and wrap it out to find the distance, with this method I clip up, count the turns as I reel in and multiply by the amount of line each turn retrieves (2.5ft for my Tournaments).

Yeah makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation and great video

You're welcome mate. Glad you enjoyed the video. 😀

Thanks for the kind words! Plenty more in the pipeline from Gardner.

Glad you liked it and thanks for your comments. 😀

Love that nugget of info. 🙂

@@matteaton7427hope it serves you well one day, also another note. If you leave a swivel exposed at lead then yes it can shake around as you demonstrated. If you get a tight heli buffer sleeve, cut off the lead swivel it gives the lead far less “shakeability”. To this day I’ve still never lost a fish on a choddy even without your extended lead material length

@@Kb11466 Yes, I did fish it that way when I started using chods and it does keep the lead more under control. That said I do prefer it further away from the rig as the extension does dampen it's effect further and to ensure the lead can't come into contact with the fish. Adding the extension also gives me an extra foot on my overall leader length so saves me having to tie on a longer leader, which I prefer for chod fishing. Maybe a combination of both aspects might be even better.

Hi Mark Yes 15mm Cell freebies. I'm happy to mix it up with the hookbait. White Cell, Yellow Pineapple Juice or match the hatch but nearly always Cell in the stick or catapult. Glad you enjoyed the film.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed watching it. 😀

Glad you liked it mate. 😀

Yes mr eaton!

Thanks for the feedback, it's always appreciated. We are delighted that Simon is hosting this series of podcasts and his style of making it a discussion - rather than just asking questions is exactly what we wanted. It's a tricky job finding the exact balance and this was just the second one Si has hosted. He will only get better. :-)

@gardnertackle to be fair, I enjoyed it. But for me, it was too short considering Simon was getting involved in the discussions, nothing against Simon at all. Suppose I'm used to longer podcasts and not noticing the host getting involved more! Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻

I’m new to it mate, but cheers for the advice…

​@@simonhartopI think your doing fine mate always remember you can't keep everyone happy and some people are very hard to keep happy

How many times can the same people be interviewed in this podcast format! Have been listing since the first carp cast!! Love both people though so will listen

Marker elastic from Fox, Korda will not snap. Needs to be a low breaking strain pole elastic. Test it.

Cheers
