I’m Never Using Another Lead System - Here’s Why 👊

[@matthewcollinsangler]

💡Pair this running lead with this rig: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKOXoZSLaqeSqJY 💡Here's the list of components for this rig: amzn.to/3PvVCc2 Maybe you’re wondering why I’ve paired this Fox run ring and this Nash Heli sleeve together when there are already so many running lead options out there. Well, the standard setups I’ve tested work… in some places, but they all have limitations. This is the only setup that I can take anywhere: a silty estate lake, a large rocky reservoir or a flowing river. I can use it with a leader or rig tubing and I can pull the rig free if the lead gets stuck. For me, it’s the only setup that ticks all the boxes. Having just one setup that I can take anywhere is a massive advantage. It’s one thing less to think about 😊

[@dk2428]

I've been using the 'inline' tips from a previous video to great success this summer. This however, is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot Matt, your channel is a true gem!

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Wonderful mate, it's a system that's working everywhere I go where I need a swivel lead and I have full confidence in it 👍

[@akwamarsunzal]

This is great! I only use a running lead, rarely get tangles but, in windy conditions or if I lose sight of the lead in flight, I am almost guaranteed a tangle 20% of the time. This will really help me avoid those tangles.

I like your videos, it makes me use the stuff I collected years ago in my box, and I would never use them otherwise. Thanks!

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Cool 👍

[@OliverHägele]

I like the fact you can also use the same components to tie a Heli Rig if needed. This makes it very convenient in my eyes. It reduces the amount of components, to cover the same range of situations. Greetings from a subscriber from South Gemany ✌🏼🙂

[@carpykeith]

Loving your videos and working my way back through them and putting some into use! Not related to this video but I tied up some of the heavy “anti tangle” mono rigs, the ones with the blow black tubing holding the knotless knot tight, for a social! My twist was to tie a micro swivel onto the hair instead of a loop ( I suppose a rig ring would work too) then bait floss to tie on smaller boilies etc stops any risk of splitting them!

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Cool mate 👍

[@simonroberts2753]

Matt instead of tying more nots for further casting, I add pva string, it adds the strength for the cast then melts away and the rotten bottom still comes away easily

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Absolutely, that's a great way to do it 👍

[@leec270win]

I’ve been using something very similar for the last 2 years, like you made my own because the market is lacking in proper lead clip systems 👌

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Cool mate 👍

[@raybriggs4529]

I was using a lead clip system many years ago that was a conventional lead clip system, and by adding another component it coverts it into a run rig system. Can not remember where I got then, or who made them, but still have some don't use them now as they are about a 3rd of the size of a conventional lead clip.

[@matthewcollinsangler]

That's brilliant to hear mate and congrats!

[@joesavage9148]

I've used a very similar rig for years now, coming to broadly the same conclusions you have and getting to pretty much the same end point. Slightly different way of achieving the same result. I use a standard Bank tackle short buffer bead with a quick change swivel pushed into it. the BT run rings (same as the ones you use) will actually push over the swivel eye inside the buffer bead and 'lock' into place. Instead of relying on the running rig breaking I instead use the breakaway C clips which come in two sizes and break at 4lb and 8lb. TBF I don't do much big chuck casting and haven't needed stronger clips. The only time I haven't got on well with this running setup is in really heavy weed, I found the lead stayed put while the fish charge through weed and can give a very odd angle to the line and fish and in that rare circumstance i would use a lead clip and drop the lead. Maybe 1% of my fishing and this running style I use for literally all but heavy weed.

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Very nice 👍

[@stephenport4768]

That's bloody brilliant the downside is the place I'm fishing when itcome to rules has some very strict rules and only alows lead clips not a very snaggy lake but run rigs in my opinion are as safe as houses for a fish not trailing a rig but when I move on to another water this will be in my armoury as I use a lot of nash end tackle components and nashbait

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Nice 👍 Yes, running rigs are super safe, it's all anglers use on my lake.

[@ZoltanHercules]

Went again this weekend. Sadly, I was overgunned as the massive lake didn’t hold anything beyond 15 pounds. Running lead, simple hooklink, I also used a semi fixed inline. Came up trumps again.

[@AlbertMiller-ul7ir]

I understand the run ring as a safety feature as it breaks at 10lb of pressure but in terms of making the rig free running most leads these days come with big eye swivels. Their pretty much the same size as a run ring anyway. Surely just sliding one up the line and using thick hooklengths (0.35mm upwards) would give you great bite detection and a anti tangle rig anyway. Minus the break away if stuck in rocks or weed.

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Yes absolutely 👍 If you don’t need the breakaway effect, you can just run the lead on the line, I show it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqupmqGXbpeVqK8

[@fongy200]

Far be it for me to question your Rigs, you make great videos. For tying off on Swivels and links i prefer the Sandiago Double Jam as a Knot. The use of the SDJ affords virtually all of the lines breaking strain to be relied on. It is in tests the strongest Knot. I wouldn't use it for the Hook for Carp, but it certainly gives better breaking strain under preassure. Many Knots, you will loose between 12- 20% of the lines test, but not with the double jam.

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Thanks for the recommendation and good to know 👍 I do my own testing so that I know I’m using the right knot for the right situation.

[@yammer69]

Matt, as I said before, I tried this rig today for a short session on my local runs water, worked great, 11 runs, 11 fish, all hooked perfectly, combined with the d-rig with the nylon line instead of a bait screw. I did tie the rig with the small bead included, as I usually do not fish weedy waters, every time the bead was just nipped on, and every time it was dislodged with the initial run. Do you think that the bead could act similar to the nylon on your previous shock and run rig? I also tied the rig with flurocarbon hook link, which I use for most of my fishing, it worked perfectly. Once again, thanks for sharing these rigs, truly first class.👍

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Hi Andrew, great to hear. Yes, the top bead can act as a telltale indicator similar to the telltale line system which I’ve used in previous videos. If you’re looking for a low cost alternative to fluorocarbon, then just use some 0.50 mono snag leader.

[@yammer69]

@@matthewcollinsangler Thanks Matt, will take a look, but I do like the stiffness of the flurocarbon, and teamed with the d rig it works really well.

[@OsD5713]

Keep innovating! Make is safer for the fish so when the line breaks only the rig will stay in the mouth❤

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Yes, if the line breaks, only the rig is left in the carp's mouth and as I use barbless hooks, the carp can get rid of the rig easily and will not trail a rig.

[@nigelquilter8107]

Hi. When sea fishing over rough ground I’ve used a rotten bottom rig, so if the weight snags you loose the weight and not snap the main line. Same principle could be used here. Any running rig with the weight tied onto the run ring with 8lb line then this will be the weakest part of the rig. Of course antsy strength line could used to prevent crack offs for the heavier weight cast just a bit further. This could also be used on heli rigs your thoughts

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I'm a big fan of the rotten bottom, I've already done a full video on it, and yes, it's a great option for this setup too and I talk about it in detail at this point of the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmiWZIWQerdjb5Y

[@andywhalley3669]

Think whilst it's a good method you've come up with, I do think to buy all the components, it would be more costly than just getting a lead clip and tail rubbers imo!

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I get where you're coming from, but there's a more fundamental reason that I've been fishing with running leads for the last 14 years, and that's because they are more effective than lead clips, I catch more carp on running rigs than lead clips, if you want to know why, I've done this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZzdkp-tf9qbZsU

[@andywhalley3669]

@matthewcollinsangler 100% can see why they are more effective, I've seen the videos and it is each to their own, but if I wanted fish a running lead, I'd just take the pin out of my lead clip or buy inline leads, rather than paying carp tax on other components. Not disagreeing with you mate, as you've had success doing what you're doing. I just don't like spending extra money on things when there's cheaper alternatives

[@Kingtrollface259]

obviously you set the drag a certain way to hook the fish ,just enough to set it and not take the rod off the rest ,but still enough to take line

Yes, that's right, 2 bank sticks, a semi tight clutch and a running rig, and that's a simple auto strike system.

You really need to check out Evolve tackle Matt absolutely fantastic end tackle and lead free leads

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Cheers mate 👍 I've seen their run ring system but not tried it, looks good, but I suspect the run ring is too strong for my fishing and it won't have the breakaway effect of the Fox ring.

[@danielfabricius128]

One question... If u used a boat or baitboat and fished over 100 meters out, would u still use the same system, and would you still use the tungsten tubing?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I cast this system 90m and it works perfectly so you’ll have no issue at 100m with a bait boat unless it’s weedy. It’s only when you get to 150m that you might be better off dumping the lead on the take 👍

[@danielfabricius128]

@@matthewcollinsangler my question was also about your presentation. Do u only use the tubing for the casting and anti tangle properties or is the Tungsten tubing also used for holding the line down at the bottom?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

@@danielfabricius128 This system will work with tubing, a leader or nothing at all. My choice would depend on the rules and the nature of the venue. At 100m the tubing has zero effect on the line lay but it would add some abrasion resistance and protects the flanks of the fish.

[@danielfabricius128]

@@matthewcollinsangler thanks a lot for you response Matt! A couple points I haven't thought of before! I know braid can do some damage, but have u seen examples of a mono leader do any damage to the fish?

@@danielfabricius128 I use a lot of the Nash heavy duty mono snag leader material in 0.50 and 0.60 for my big lake fishing and for river carping (mostly without tubing) and I’ve never seen any sign of damage with a mono leader. As long as the leader is setup safely and the lead can either eject off the clip or pass freely over the leader knot, then you shouldn't have any issues 👍

[@danielwatt3464]

another great video Matt. Would you rate this over your previous shock and run system with the bite indicator? I ask since i just made one up last night for a lake with relatively low chod, lots of hard spots and snags around the margins (not a problem if fishing out in open water)

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Thanks mate 😊 Both systems work equally well, the old shock and run works great with the bite indicator, I didn’t want to complicate this new version with that addition.

[@markdixon7202]

@matthewcollins Really love your videos; very practical and a simple approach (which seems the opposite to lots of others who seem to be overcomplicating things). One question; with a running lead system, there is no weight to initially set the hook which there is on a fixed lead system, so what is the benefit of the running rig (except stopping the carp using the weight to throw the lead?)

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Hi Mark, glad you’re enjoying the channel. Running rigs offer 3 main benefits: you get better bite indication, they are more effective than lead clips as the carp can’t throw the hook and you don’t lose the lead which is better for your wallet and the environment. With a running rig, I don’t use the lead to hook the fish. The line, the rod and the reel all work together to hook the carp. It’s the elasticity of mono and the tightness of the clutch that do the hooking for me. I always fish with a semi tight clutch because the carp is hooked and under control before I touch the rod. Cheers, Matt

[@markdixon7202]

@matthewcollinsangler Thanks Matt. All makes sense. I suppose when I think of a running lead system im thinking of it almost being freelined, so they feel no resistance, but do like the idea of the carp not being able to throw the hook using the lead. Cheers.

[@707SonomaComa]

Your videos are fantastic! Very informative. I am nee to carp fishing and I am trying to get all the proper tackle required to be successful. What type or brand of method feeder would you use?

Hi mate, no, I’ve completely stopped using lead clips. Here’s why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKvQgpp_ntx5f5I. My rigs are 22 to 25cm long and that works everywhere I go 👍

[@redjeshbehari]

Thanks for the info.. I'm starting to fish again from my younger years where i never used a running rig. So this information is very useful. A couple of questions i have.. So when using tubing you tube the mainline and connect the whole to the rig? There is no leader involved? And when using leader there is no tubing involved? But how can that be anti-tangle? Perhaps you can explain this? Also, perhaps some diagrams would be nice? When to use tubing vs leader material? Thanks for answering in advanced...

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Hi there, yes if you want to use rig tubing, just thread the mainline through the rig tubing and then through the run ring, add the heli sleeve and then tie on a size 8 swivel. Leaders are complicated because there are different types. If I’m using a lead free material like Nash cling-on then that replaces the rig tubing. For long cast casting and when river carping I’ll use 5m of 30lb (0.50) or 40lbs (0.60) mono snag leader and I fish that straight to the running lead system, without tubing because it’s all I need. This setup is also known as fishing naked. It works fine like this but on some waters this configuration would be banned. I know that rig tubing is also known as anti tangle tubing but for me, this is a complete misnomer. If you get your rig design or the materials choice wrong, your rigs will tangle and anti tangle tubing is not going to prevent this. Most day ticket waters will insist on rig tubing and leaders will be banned so that’s where I’d advise you start. We have more videos on leaders in the pipeline. Cheers, Matt

[@matthewcollinsangler]

OK, this is just a custom kit I've been fishing with for the last 3 years

[@djoki82]

Does the tubing get disconnected from the sleeve because of the hard casts and the elasticity of mainline? I didnt se you put medium sinkers before the tubing. You used those sinkers in previous running rig systems. I use running rig systems with tubing and with those plastic rings you put lead on and i use sinkers (as tubing stopers). Little problem (just annoying one) is that sinkers after the casts get separated from tubing ang tubing comes off from sleeve. Also i think sinkers as stopers are good because they prevent tubing from sliding off on mainline. Tubing protect the carp during the fight and tubing must be just beside the hooklink

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I found that the Nash heli sleeve holds onto standard 0.75mm tungsten rig tubing very tightly. In fact you really do need to cut the tubing at 45 degrees to get it to go in. I’ve only had to use the sinker trick at the top of rig tubing before because a standard tail rubber does not grip the rig tubing well enough. I’ve never had the tubing pop out in any situation 👍

[@djoki82]

@@matthewcollinsangler Yeah, so thats roughly an arms length. cheers

[@danielpolsinger7565]

What if you use a shock or snag leader and the fish pulls the leader knot through the eye of the lead on the take, won't it get stuck on the knot while playing the fish and running back down the line?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

If that's happening, you're either way too slow on the rod or your leader is too short. I've never had the lead go above the leader. Always use a semi tight clutch, helps to prevent this scenario.

Quick question. You put up a video of the Nash Lead Run Clip quite a while ago and after watching it I have used them loads. I notice they don't feature in your fishing (or at least on your videos) Do you still rate them or do you prefer the inline lead (running & Bump n run). If so, why? Thanks Jason

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Hi Jason, I fished with the Nash run clip for a year and it taught me a lot. I’d use it more if I fished weedy waters or if I fished 150yds+. I don’t need to drop the lead on the waters I fish and the Nash run clip tends to drop the lead too often for me. The setup in this video has a breakaway element which means that I can pull for a break if the lead gets stuck on the bottom and recover the rig. So it’s all about what is appropriate for the waters you fish. Cheers, Matt

[@danielpolsinger7565]

Wouldn't you get the same effect when using a korda run rig rubber live previously in combination with an anti tangle tube?

Hi Matt, have you tried the ONE MORE CAST safety sleeve run rig system?

Could this be used for a pva bag instead of using the mesh

[@matthewcollinsangler]

If I want to use a solid PVA bag, I'd always use an inline running rig and a supple braided hooklink. I would never use this system inside a solid PVA bag.

[@OliverCoppen]

i see danny fairbrass say that an inline lead will hook the carp faster and more aggresively due to picking the lead up at the heavier side, do you agree with this and what are your general thoughts on using inline leads (not in a solid bag)

[@matthewcollinsangler]

The weight of the lead comes into effect quicker on an inline lead than on a swivel lead but I’m not using this small force to hook the carp. I only use running leads and it’s the elasticity of the mono and the semi tight clutch that do the hooking for me. It delivers far more hooking force than the weight of the lead. I like inline leads for short to medium range work, casting, bait boat, bushwacker and I always use an inline lead with a supple braided hooklink.

[@OliverCoppen]

do you prefer bottom baits matching or a stand out pop up

Only bottom baits, popups don't catch more carp

I use more bait when the fish are at close enough range for me to bait up, I don't add more bait when I'm casting a long way because I'm fishing beyond my baiting range (and I don't have a boat).

Matt, how would you tie a mono snag/shock leader to the mainline? I have problem with the knots getting caught up when casting. Cheers

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I use the GT knot to connect 0.35mm braid to a 0.60 mono leader, that's a good strong knot that casts well even on short rods with small rings. Tighten down really well and cut the tag ends very short.

[@pw9995]

@@matthewcollinsangler would you recommend this for mono to mono as well or just braid to mono?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

@@pw9995 For mono to mono, you can use the back to back grinner or the Albright knot. You can use the GT knot, just do less turns on the mono side, you'll have to experiment to see which works best for you.

[@carpermanluke876]

Ive watched a couple of your vids beofre and really enjou them, love your thinking outsode the box appoach. Can i ask why you use mono/flouro and not a stiff braid? I kist dont think a stiff hooklink is supple enough at all amgles the fish approaches? Also, ive jist eatched about three of your vidoes tonight and ive got to say the adverts i dont mind, but every 3-4 minutes...i couldnt finish the video because it.

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Hi mate, first, I don't use fluoro in my fishing at all, it's not necessary. I mostly use mono from 0.35 to 0.60 depending on where I'm fishing, and it works over every bottom type. I don't worry about which way the fish approaches a mono rig because the mono is light enough and supple enough to fly up into the carp's mouth from any angle (unlike fluoro which is too stiff) 😊 PS - sorry to hear about the adverts, I don't control the amount of adverts that are shown to you.

[@hillsyboy87]

Hi Matt. Do you fish slack lines with this lead system?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Hi mate, running rigs can be fished with a tight line, back leads, semi slack or fully slack line. What’s important is a semi tight clutch. I’m using the clutch and the elasticity of the mono to hook the fish. If you use a running rig with a loose clutch, you won’t hook the carp and they can be gone by the time you get to the rod.

[@TheRolf88]

Very nice video. But could you use this from a bait boat and how would you do that?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Yes, no problem at all using it in a bait boat but I'd use it with a stiff 0.50 mono hooklink to avoid tangles.

[@TheRolf88]

Thank you Matthew, but I am worried what the lead does when it falls down. It probably could be 50 cm from the hooklink, right? Does that cause a problem?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

@@TheRolf88 If you set the top bead right, it holds the lead in place during the drop. I've done this with a rowing boat, bait boat, bushwhacker and no issues.

[@TheRolf88]

@@matthewcollinsanglerthank you Matt!

[@bricky5862]

Are you still using a semi tight clutch with this running rig as per your previous videos? Or is this resistance free and you set the hook lifting into a run?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I always fish with a semi tight clutch because the carp is hooked and under control before I touch the rod.

[@bricky5862]

@@matthewcollinsangler I’ve been using that method since watching your earlier videos, had some really good success with it, also used it catfishing with equal success, both with the stiff mono rig, love it cheers!

[@accesszero4803]

I'd be intrested now why u don't use the nash run clip over this? I always use tubing and the nash run clip seems to drop the lead most times

[@PI7ABR3D]

That's probably why. No need to dump the lead 9 times out of 10

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I fished with the Nash run clip for a year and it taught me a lot. I’d use it more if I fished weedy waters or if I fished 150yds+. I don’t need to drop the lead on the waters I fish so this setup suits my needs better.

[@matthewcollinsangler]

@@PI7ABR3D absolutely 👍

[@danielpolsinger7565]

Do you think a running rig has the same hooklink properties as a semi fixed lead? I can't see how they are superior to a lead clip or an inline lead, cause there is no bolt effect. Whats your opinion on this?

[@matthewcollinsangler]

There’s no doubt carp are caught on lead clips and that they work. But with a semi fixed lead the carp can use the lead to throw the rig out (I know it’s happening because I’ve got a ‘telltale’ indicator on my rig telling me I’ve been ejected) and I’ve seen it happen in my fishing when I used to use lead clips and with many anglers at my lake (they now all fish running leads). If you want to know why and how running rigs are more effective than lead clips, you’ll need to watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZzdkp-tf9qbZsU. You’ll see that if you fish running rigs with a semi tight clutch, the carp is hooked and under control before you even touch the rod. Hope that helps.

[@frankzasowski]

Long story short, just like the OMC Run System🤷

[@matthewcollinsangler]

The OMC kit is the right idea but unfortunately the moulded rib on the sleeve that should hold the ring in place broke off before casting it out. Also the plastic ring doesn’t fail safe like the Fox ring does.

[@Franek_Hofman_cfp]

what about nash running rig system? why isnt it as good as this one

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I fished with the Nash run clip for a year and it taught me a lot. I’d use it more if I fished weedy waters or if I fished 150yds+. I don’t need to drop the lead on the waters I fish and the Nash run clip tends to drop the lead too often for me. This setup has a breakaway element which means that I can pull for a break if the lead gets stuck on the bottom and recover the rig.

[@OliverCoppen]

is there anything wrong with using multi rig

[@matthewcollinsangler]

No, great choice if you're not keen on tying a lot of rigs because you can re-use the hooklink multiple times and just change the hook. Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYfPnoF-nJV1epI

Hi, love your vids and learned A LOT!! Can u recommend me some rig (that isnt a helicopter rig) for fishing in silt. Its not too deep but I feel resistance like its plugged in the silt.

[@matthewcollinsangler]

Use the rig in this video with a simple mono rig. If you're struggling with the lead plugging, use lighter leads and control the rig as it falls through the water. Add a bigger PVA stick to slow the descent and stop the lead plugging 😊

Fox makes a specific running lead clip. Have you seen or tried them matt??

Hi Darryl, yes, seen them and I wouldn't use them. It wouldn't work with tubing and if the tail rubber gets stuck, it's forced tighter onto the lead clip body making it harder for the lead to eject (potential safety hazard).
