Cannot thank you guys enough. You are half my age but your experience and knowledge yesterday helped me catch my personal best of 17lb 5oz Mirror Carp using this method. I used a Crafty Floater Salty Tuna and in 3 casts I landed 2 fish including my PB. For someone who only started fishing again 4 months ago after a 35 year “break” I’m chuffed. Great channel, great advice and so easy to understand. Thanks again.

[@leeboglazersout1958]

That 17lb 5oz still a PB pal?

[@chunky2469]

As a 51 year old man who has rediscovered his love of fishing, yours videos are quite simply brilliant! Excellent content that is easy to follow, and very well articulated verbally and visually. This old dog has certainly learned some new tricks. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

[@benwilson1411]

6 months into carp fishing and everything I know is from Alex and Carl. Can't thank you guys enough ❤

[@fishingtutorials]

So happy to hear this Ben! Big love!

[@garethlewis678]

Me too. It was never this technical before when I was a kid but these guys make even an old git like me look good.

[@benwilson1411]

So simple, can't fault these boys

[@steviebye1]

The only youtube video on chod rigs you will need. Excellent.

[@Gypsyking2024]

These guys know their carp fishing and their tutorials are very welcome to watch and try out keep it up lads your doing a great job.l

[@poziloc]

Great tutorial! You explain it very clearly. Here in the US we sometime don't need complex rigs, but i do like to know how to tie the latest ones that the anglers in the UK come up with. Great channel keep up the excellent work guys!

[@krycek1976]

Great video. Honestly guys you’ve nailed it with these tutorials. It’s bizarre that with so many rig tutorials on KZbin for so long and yet, yours are buy far the easiest to follow. My 8 year old fishing addict son can really start to make his own rigs 🙏😁

[@mariusionita7981]

Guys, I just stumbled accross your channel, after a video was randomly suggested by KZbin. I do want to thank you for all the videos, everything I watched so far is very well produced, organized, and everything makes sense. I am very engaged in your tutorials. Before I moved to Ireland and started to focus a lot on sea angling, I was an amateur carp and tench angler myself. Your videos re-ignited that forgotten passion I had a long time ago. So thank you for that! I am amazed you don't have a lot more subscribers, to be honest. This is not a 50k subs channel, by any means. Here's hopping for you to get to the million soon, you very much deserve it. Cheers!

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you so much for watching! :) Very kind of you to leave a nice comment!

[@JTvlogs984]

This is the best fishing channel on YT! Been watching your videos since you started out! Bought me back to fishing. Clear and simple and not trying to get us to pay ridiculous amounts of money for rigs lol.. Thanks boys :0) hope you and tye family have a great Christmas.

[@smarshall83]

Great video guys, I've been looking for a video that explains the Chod rig in more detail. Very thorough and helpful. Top job 👍

[@Otius]

Guys I hit subscribe button in the middle of the film, then you start talking about how to feed with chod rig. I'm so happy that I found you channel. Great work!

[@cheza7061]

I love your tutorials, you explain everything very clearly & easy to understand for people who are just getting into carp fishing. Happy Christmas & all the best for all your plans in 2020. 🎣😎

[@keanecliff4247]

Thanks guys used your tutorial to make this had 4 screaming runs on a new water landed 3 lovely carp and lost one but it happens, cheers lad 💪

[@jamminwill1242]

Thank you for your explanation of the chod system, I found your narrative to be very easily understood, I have used standard hair rigs on a swivel allowing movement between 2 tungsten shot for many years and found it to be a different and effective way of catching carp, but your system is much more fish friendly and more importantly precise(that came out wrong fish welfare is paramount and precision is secondary 😓!) I used your account of use on YT. It’s been invaluable to myself as I was using a method which was far less savvy on all aspects of safety and success I just wanted to thank BOTH of you as your method feels and is far superior,sorry I have taken this long to express my appreciation (I used method feeders for carp and did not explore the chod system) I was very happy to use feeders as they seemed to suit all my needs as well as the other well known systems,believe it or not I was blissfully using most of the other systems and did not consider using the chod until coming across a situation where it was the “go too” choice!, I didn’t want to leave this unsaid as you and your brother are admirable in the way you approach the sport I wish happiness and success in your endeavours in the future from one more informed angler yours Jammin.

[@fishingtutorials]

Ah that's great :) Really glad to hear the videos have helped with your fishing! Thank you so much for your comment. ❤️

Super never been to sure how to fish over weed and never used a chod set up . Let's go and have a go .. Cheers lads great video

Hi guys! I was searching for a good chod rig tutorial, and - of course - I found this video. Another great instructional video. I'm going to use this info very soon, ordering materials first. Thanks again!

[@cascott1973]

You guys make everything easy to follow. Many other vids assume you know what they mean, you show everything. Keep it up.

[@MrFlixibu]

Its not only helpful to fish slackline, its really really important, otherwise the whole system would be useless!!Great input to fish it with a boilie spreaded area feeding spot!!sounds logic and I always wondered

[@fishingvideosbykaine1072]

Fantastic video it helped me out loads because I've only really got into carp fishing last year I used to just do float fishing but now I want want something bigger my pb carp what I court last year is 18lb and my pb pike is 12lb I want beat that next year and merry Christmas

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks so much for watching dude! :)

[@SPS_survivor]

Great video, as you know Carl I love your videos. Would it be a good idea to promote the helisafe system so you can drop the lead if needs be …. Hopefully sending the carp up into the water making it easier to land the fish. I hate dropping leads as much as the next guy but I’m a firm believer that it can mean landing a fish or losing it. Just a bit of food for thought for people.

[@westyshark]

You need to up grade your filter on your tank if you got carp in it tropical set up wont be enough Carl hence the green tinge in water

[@DavidsWayOfLife]

An excellent tutorial. I was able to make my very first chod rig following your video, thank you! I have a question though. I used the naked variant for my mono main line. What do you do when the session is done and you need to transport the rods home. Before I just cut the knot and took all from the main line so I was able to transport the rods home. But now there is the barrel and chod sleeve. If I take it out from the line, I won't be able to put it back. How do you handle this? I don't want to have the chod system only for one-time use.

[@odawg125]

Really really really good advice. Thanks for explaining so much about choddies. Hardly any shoutouts on your regular channel towards this channel!

[@334outdoors8]

Great vid boys would to see a video on the difference in different prepared baits like different types of pellets and boilies as an American It’s really confusing learning the differences when trying to up my game from just fishing corn and maize

[@StefanDobra88]

Best fishing tutorial videos guys!! Keep up the good work. After tying the leadcore leader what’s the best way to join it to the main line?

[@Emielio1]

Thanks for the great tips! I usually fish a variant of this, just a helicopter rig with sinking baits (boiled feedcorn, balls of white bread, a maggot clip, a fake crayfish etc.) in combination with a method lead. However, I have also experienced those hesitant bites when fishing pop-ups, and I think that might be due to them being fished over a ball of bait. Maybe I'll put more distance between the hooklink and the packbait when fishing pop-ups next time :)

[@martingoesfishing5762]

Just a quick question, I am using the lead clip system that you have done a video about, I have tried it on the canals but not had a take... could this just be down to the fact that their is not as many carp / tench on the canals - am I better trying on a lake over the weekend?

[@millwallfan06]

Hi is there a quick way of being able to change my rig on heli setup? At the moment I have mounted my rig with a ring swivel, my rig is now blunt and want to change my rig without having to take beads and lead off!

[@johnfegan2635]

Brilliant tutorial,thank you very much.

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks for watching John :)

[@charlottehull3628]

Brilliant explanation and demonstration 😊

[@ShaunLomax]

Great video, can I use Durakord leadfree-leader for the leadcore safety system?

[@Gypsyking2024]

I'm going to make a few naked chod rigs for a holiday in Suffolk and there's 2 weedy lake's that have Carp to 40lb and I think the Chod could be just what I need will tell you how it goes on my return Crazy Carper.

[@TomD1419]

It could just be me as I’m very new to carp fishing but how would you a find the leader/line material that this is being built on and once you’ve made the rig how would you attach it to your normal fishing line?

[@adambraham8736]

Great video. Would you always use a ring and bait floss, or would you also consider bait screws?

[@sabinpantis4149]

Nice vid guys! The rig is quite interesting.Got the whole ideea of the mechanics of this rig. Not fishing for carp alot my self but here is my question: whats the diference betwen this rig and the zig rig. Maybe you will go through the zig rig some day. Have a nice weekend!

[@michaelmcgillicuddy4342]

Best video on this channel 🎣🎣🎣 although all the others are great 👍

[@b1scuits1]

would using a back lead work with the setup that doesnt use leadcore? instead of a really slack line

[@Carpconnection-i4k]

Hi carl, what knot do you use to tie your main line onto ur leader

[@darrenjowett8032]

Great video but I’m wondering when the fish is hooked will the chod rig slid down to the lead?

[@durtydancing3572]

I’ve been carp fishing 4 times with out landing a single carp only catfish. It’s definitely an obsession right now. I’ll give it a shot and update

[@logan1227]

I was just thinking there how you said it’s mainly fished on a slack line couldn’t you use drop backs and fish it tight or would it not work

[@fishingtutorials]

Hey Logan, the reason for suggesting a semi slack line is to ensure the hook doesn’t get pulled down into the weeds. You can still clip on a bobbin normally and a bite should still be registered as usual, you just don’t want to pull the line really tight or else the hook gets pulled downwards into the weeds :)

[@logan1227]

@@fishingtutorials cheers i am newish to the Chod rig and trying to build more confidence using it but been trying to find videos of them landing in the water on weed or the bottom on different situations to see exactly how they would sit as wouldn't want to fish it first time in some low lying weed and it get messed up cheers for the reply

[@CarpAndMore]

Can I use second option on mono mainline ? Or have to be leader

[@oscar_is_carping4506]

Hey guys love the video! On the helcopter could i fish with the stiff hing rig not the chod rig?

[@meejhgggg]

Love thus channel...bought tons off fishing stuff...3 yars ago and no time for this, but live watching when find some time😔

[@gillesacremant4872]

Excellente vidéo, très bon présentateur.

[@leem25]

General question on chod rigs. With the hook length being so short, if you don't ditch the lead isn't it going to be hitting the fish during the fight? I use helicopter rigs and it's very similar and I'm worried I'm damaging the fish. Thanks!

[@millwallfan06]

If your not sure of the bottom is it a good idea to literally make this your default rig on all rods on the day? Unless you have time to lead around? And then maybe use different setups but have this as a default ?

[@fishingtutorials]

Hi there, yes if we’re going somewhere new or somewhere weedy/silty then chod rigs are a great bet. Once you’ve leased around and found clear areas then you can fish normal rigs but if you wanna just cast out three rods to showing fish or stay mobile the chod rig is great.

[@millwallfan06]

Fishing Tutorials thanks very much! And would You say definetly used with a heli lead setup? Or maybe a hinged stiff on a lead clip? Thanks again for the reply

[@craigmitchell4945]

Great video lads very clear and we’ll put together. I have stayed away from fishing the chod as I was always paranoid that my bait is off the bottom specially if I was trying to fish a slack line on a windy day. Can you take me through the process of how you guys fish your main line after you cast the chod out please. Do you just let of loads of slake then put it on your alarms? Would be great if you could talk me through your way after you cast the bait out.

[@hgfishing882]

Guys if i was fishing over silt would you reccomend a Leadcore leader or just fish it naked

[@kylesewards8572]

Any tips for using the chod rig with tubing ? As leader ban on the waters I fish

[@kurtee3920]

If I was using this for a 15lb mainline what lb hook length is needed?

[@kieran.s.photography618]

Will the rig be allowed in a no fixed lead lake ??? ( As the quick change swivel will open up under pressure allowing the lead to fall off) also will this mean it is a semi fixed lead?

[@CarpAndMore]

I’m using the first method cuz looks easier to me. But if I decide to change the rig I’m left with parts that I cannot use anymore cuz I won’t be able to put them on the line again , is there a way to use them again somehow?

[@Maui94-j0y]

Hey, could you allow shipping to Belgium/The Netherlands aswell? I'd like to buy this book but it cannot be shipped to my location. Thanks in advance

[@aidank.220]

I didn't use a chod rig but caught my pb common carp in MA today. 15mm boilie on a hair rig in a river, probably wouldn't even be carp fishing if it weren't for your channels

Do u have to use the beads I can’t find them anywhere

[@swageningen5151]

great video . i would love to see a pike lure set up . like how to hook a soft bait , different types of underline etc and maybe what types of lure works best in different scenarios . :)

[@johnmurray1207]

I have noticed the places i fish have rules against using any lead core or leaders and also not allowing naked rigs only tubing does that make this process much harder?

Can you fish with corn/ fakecorn or only boille

[@TheGingerzilla69]

When you say a heavy floro or mono for the naked chod rig what would you say is heavy 20lb or higher ? Many thanks 😊

[@LeeBillingham1970]

They're referring to the type of material, not the breaking strain. Some mono, e.g. Korda Subline, is designed to sink better than others as it's "heavier"

[@timotheluimes1041]

I see you are using a barbless hook. is that required in the UK or is that a 'technical' decision?

Some venues have a rule of barbless only in England

So does it matter if your main line is 12lb when the rigs are 20-30lb plus with dark mater etc? Bit confused

[@ptaylor5014]

I'm fairly new to carp fishing, you say choddys should be fished with slack line, what if you are fishing in strong gusty wind do you use a different set up for that?

[@fishingtutorials]

If it’s quite windy, then I’ll put my rod tips as low as possible, even a little bit beneath the surface. You don’t need to fish really slack, just enough that the line isn’t pulled up off the bottom. :)

Making the naked chod systam can i put splitshots instead of the naked tungsten sleve and the beed becouse i cant get those things where i live

[@fishingtutorials]

The only problem with split shots is they are fixed and wont let the chod slide off the line if you snap up! Makes it an unsafe rig for the fish. Hope that makes sense?!

[@ljc666]

Can you just use two pieces of split shot instead of the bead things as I don’t have them
