How to set fishing bobbins for fishing

Following on from one of my live feeds, I was asked if i could do a basic video on how to set up bobbins for fishing. Now all i would start to say is it's all about personnel preference really but here is my simple opinion on the subject.
The bobbins i use are usually the MCF flippers or the Korda stow heads according to the distance I'm fishing.
The bobbin in the video was bought off Ebay years ago and i have no idea which company made them.
The video illustrates slack lines, long range and semi slack lines.
The camera i use mostly is the Gopro hero4.
My bobbins are from

[@Carlfishing]

cwcarpfishing please send over the address so I can post the money required im paying you for that lol Thank you for taking time for watching. Thanks 🙏🏻 you

[@david69funk]

Thanks just bought my first begginer carp set. What's a Ying-Yang design that can either be used free running or pinched to the line for unrivalled sensitivity. What do they mean by you can have the bobbing free running...it describes that in the avid lock down bobbin kit

[@Carlfishing]

You'll work it out buddy

[@broganhiggins9940]

Need some help as I’m new, do you just pick up the rod when there’s a fish on or detach the bobbin first?

[@Carlfishing]

If there is an advanced indication, simply strike the rod.

[@summerfarmestates]

Are eliminated bobbins worth the extra for night fishing thankyou for explaining vtherevset up about to buy 2 for my rods

[@captainchillco1025]

Hiya. Another great video.. My question, that I struggle to find a answer is = I've korda black and whites in M size. I've got the added 10g & 15g weights, so when to use those weights? Obviously there's information out there to say to use them for distance fishing, but are they worth using in windy conditions to help the bobbins from swinging and giving false bleeps?? Yes, I can turn my sensitivity down, but if I'm snag fishing I'd rather not. Any tips? Are these weights purely for distance fishing? Thanks

[@Carlfishing]

You’ve actually answered your own question. I always use weighted bobbins at range but like you say weight helps in windy times. Just do what you feel comfortable with. Cheers for watching

[@kghwanadoo]

So I’ve started fishing again after a 20 yr lay off! I use to use monkey climbers what’s the advantage of bobbins over the old school monkey climbers, I’m still catching fish! On the time lapse I use a DJI osmo which collates all the images for you even on a motion lapse brilliant bit of kit!

[@Carlfishing]

That’s good that your enjoying it, I find bobbins offer more freedom

[@Westhamskin]

probly a daft question but can you used a bite alarm with a method feeder ?

[@pipwilson777]

I'm new to fishing and have used an alarm for a method feeder. Whether you're supposed to or not, it works great!

[@Carlfishing]

Yes

[@JayJRockers]

Cheers for that handy info Carl. I have a quick question ... I’m looking and running a nash bp - 6 on two sets of dwarf nash 10ft 2.5lb TC. I’m stuck between the Nash or the Shamano bait runner 4000 fb st

[@Carlfishing]

It’s all personal to yourself really, I’ve always used Shimano and Daiwa reels. Fashion has a big part in what people use I guess. I’m currently use all Shimano gear including Rods.

[@Alex-jr4bq]

I recommend the shamano

[@markbritton6485]

When the bobbin is fished mid way up, does it make the line taught to the lead/ cutting through the water possibly spooking fish? Just a thought as fish same distances you mentioned & my bobbin is always half way

[@Carlfishing]

No the line if on a flat area settles according to the type of line.

[@markbeeversaddictedalround6574]

Enjoyed video mate your camera work and music just gets better well done on fish mate

[@Carlfishing]

Mark Beevers addicted alround angler thank you buddy

[@TheCarrac13]

Would this setup be useful in a strong river current where the line is always tight? If so or not do you have any tips.

[@Carlfishing]

Always step up on the river buddy ie weighted bobbin

[@ewancessford5496]

Do all bobbins fit every alarm? Or do you need certain types? For example I have Sonik SKX alarms. Would these bobbins be sound for them?

[@Carlfishing]

They 100%

[@Fxleon3804dpmobile]

How do i set my full alarm up

[@Carlfishing]

Depends on the alarm

[@andrewscott6078]

Hi Carl Have you tried the Jrc curve indicators , I find it's hard to get them to release when you get a take which isn't funny Love your vlogs

[@Carlfishing]

No sorry chap and again thank you 🙏🏻

[@davefisher261]

Thanks buddy

[@liamsupplies4472]

Great content keep it up mate!

[@Carlfishing]

All Round Angling Supplies thank you fella, I'll try my best

[@petetaysum7066]

Thank you

[@Carlfishing]

You're welcome

[@stevenroucourt1193]

How about loose line with the bobbing hanging low even wenn you get a reaction it will always be a pulling reaction right?

[@richardpeterson3753]

I want to build one of these from scratch.not into feeding giant tackle companies.theres plenty of rich lazy folks to keep em up and running.i prefer the diy approach

[@darrenthompson8467]

Good vid pal 👍👍👍👍

[@Carlfishing]

Darren thompson thank you very much and thank you for watching.

[@jamesreynolds2686]

How loose or tight would you recommend I have baitrunner tenshion fishing at about 50 meters

[@CliveNicely9]

Do you have to have a bobbins or can you just use your line into the alarm?

[@Carlfishing]

Sometimes you can if your tight into the corner of the lake and the only way the carp can go is away from you. #useyournut

[@davefisher261]

Would you fish tight line when fishing far side bank about 20 yards by rushes thanks

[@Carlfishing]

Dave Fisher now this i a very good question. I would fish semi slack. My opinion. You see the dropback or full run. I would also fish a running lead.

[@marktaylor2105]

Nice place that, is it one of your club waters ?

[@Carlfishing]

Yes fella, it’s only small but challenging with good access

[@Carlfishing]

Gailey Res chap

[@lifeexperiences4969]

[@Carlfishing]
