Question: Why would you tie the floss around the bait rather than using the baiting needle to pull the floss through it and then secure it? Wouldnt that be more secure?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

By not piercing the pop-up you prevent water ingress that could effect the buoyancy of the pop-up.

[@Jerec]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV which I take it means it can stay out longer with more confidence that it's still presenting as expected?

Love your videos John, always have done … and even though I’ve been carp fishing for 15+ years I like a little freshen up in my mind as redoing some rigs ready for a big trip out to France (first of the year) getting excited now. I like the play on cutting off the big ring if it gives people confidence (which it’s all about) but I leave mine on there so it’s a chod rig as I’ve had great success with them over the years and also play around with the length of the mouthtrap as sometimes with these huge bellied/ round carp can get to the pop up without being almost vertical to reach it. I will then will have some rigs in different lengths and different booms as info is a bit sparse on the substrate, so some semi stiff braid and also the IQ that I krimp sometimes and this time I’ve bought some ESP tungsten beads to pull down over the knots of the putty as I’ve been having problems during the winter with putty falling off. (I do use your trick with the coiled up lead out of old leaders) told many people about you with that one and most of the time works awesome, especially in the warmer months. Cheers 🍻 from Bristol

Great vid once again!😎👍 I've been tying rigs like mad since i started watching these, and I've been catching more. It just gets me thinking more about rig mechanics, but also by changing rigs and finding succes, it tells me something about the lake i'm fishing. Even in lakes i've been fishing all my life. All because of these video's. Thanks for the great vids and the inspiration😎🤘🙏

[@rolfgeerlof9733]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV it is really mindblowing sometimes, how rig mechanics can point out subtle details about the specific piece of lakebed you're fishing, then make the adjustment, and catch 3 carp in under 1 hour.

[@coreydalton-thorp1656]

Would you throw this out as a single bait or would it still work with a mesh bag on the hook?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

This is a great single hookbait rig or when fished over a spread of boilies. The problem with a mesh bag is it can straiten out the curve you place in the short, stiff section of hooklink.

[@Deadlycalling]

Another rig ive used for years,well made and explained jon

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Thanks Lee!

[@imanishay]

Would this rig be safe from tangles of cast out with just hook bait. Thank you

[@alanmeasures8337]

Another great vid John

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Thanks Alan 👍

[@PBRStreetGang68]

These videos are really helpful, well presented with clear instructions. I've been experimenting with my boom sections, and found that using a couple of small tungsten bead really works well. One tight up against the knot, with the wide end covering the knot and one in the middle pinning the middle of the boom down. Also started using perfection loops at both ends, gives a nicer loop and tidy knot.

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Thats great David - glad you're enjoying the video's!

[@jeroenbouwmeester5508]

On what lead setup you can use this rig the best, helicopter or leadclip system?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

You can use it with either; personally I find myself using a lead lip set-up most.

[@imanishay]

Great video as always. How do you always make yours look so neat 😂

[@stuartmees3332]

Never understood why people put the putty for the Chod section on the swivel body itself which prevents half of it turning? Much better to put it on the knot so the swivel can do its job.

[@martinberry9616]

Yet another brilliant brilliantly made and extremely helpful video! Thank you so much!

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Glad you enjoyed it Martin!

[@kf8575]

Is there an advantage to tying the boilie in place then rather than passing the floss through it and burning the end off? Ive never thought of tying one on before now?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi, yes the advantage is because you don't pierce the pop-up when tying it on, the pop-up won't take on water and perhaps become less buoyant over time.

[@owenfutter4094]

Is their a reason that you dont use a baiting needle to put the popups on

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Not really Owen - there is an argument that the pop-up looses buoyancy with water ingress once pierced, but its more a case I've always done it this way.

[@crewythecarpninja83]

Bait screw is all I know this seems very old skool

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

So is a bit like a pre-tied "chod" rig, tied onto the end of a flowing trace made from flourocarbon then? (Am Just getting into carp fishing, after Sea Fishing for 25 years or so since was young, looking into using few more tactics on more lakes once spring hits)

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Hi Ken, yep pretty much the same - the boom section kicks the rig out away from the lead nicely and the hinge between this and the stiff hooklink section can be really difficult for fish to deal with.

[@kf8575]

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV great, thank you. Might have to give this one a try. Am thinking that for using floating boilies this might be a bit less visible to a fish than a ronnie rig?

[@Micaspijker]

Great video! I have a question. why put the floss round the out side? I always put it through my pop up and burn the ends down.

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

You could do that - tying on the pop-up is just the way I've always done it.

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Thanks Martin!

[@C_Woods85]

Would you be able to tie the boom section with say a semi stiff coated braid? For example if the bottom your fishing over isn't completely clean or hard?

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Yes you could - although it will need to be semi-stiff for the hinge in the rig to really work effectively. The soft fluorocarbon is perfect, supple enough to lay over light weed etc. but with enough memory to present tangles and allow the hinge to work well!

[@adrianlunnon3514]

Great instructional video, I always crimp my hinged section so much easier to get the height I want....plus I'm all fingers and thumbs, great video guys 👍👍👍👍

[@willememmy7414]

Hi John, do you have any sugestions to use pva mesh with this rig how to prevent the rig Will not be present perfectly on the Bottom? Something Just like the order video with the floating chips in combination with the Ronnie rig. Best regards

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

You could hook a small PVA mesh bag onto the hook, but its far better to fish this rig without a bag so it can sink slowly over any lakebed debris.

@@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV when the knotless knot is made there is not enough space for the D to get also trough the eye, any solution?

[@Kb11466]

Hi John and other carpers, would it be ok just to add the putty over the knot instead of on the swivel. just thinking if I add putty where John has here. Means its a bit harder and a messier job just to tie on a new stiff section if the hook needs changing? Or is the putty directly below the hook and on the swivel part of why this rig works? thanks

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

I'd keep to wrapping on the swivel, it helps hold the putty and really neatens things up - when you need to reuse the putty it generally still comes off in one clean piece.

[@MrRadoslavS]

GREAT one

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Happy to help!

[@ptheledge5390]

Another great one! Can I ask, why do you tie the floss around the pop up rather than threading through with a bait needle like on most rigs?

[@blackgoby1]

So the bait stays buoyant for longer...

[@oliverobrien8908]

People usually do it so they don’t lose the buoyancy in the pop up if it’s out for a long time, some are affected if they are pierced by a baiting needle

[@MainlineBaitsCarpFishingTV]

Partly for the reason John has given below (the pop-up stays buoyant for longer) but mainly because I've simply always done it this way.

Why do you use a background that blends with the line? Can’t see the line.

The hinge stiff rig is regarded as the best hooking rig, so why doesn’t a spinner rig have the same d rig hook bait attachment ? Spinner rigs with the bait mounted on a ring or similar running up and down the shank is renowned for fish loses.

[@chestersouth601]

I always find the tag end on the knotless knot (that forms the D) spins when I tighten it. Anyone also find this and any fixes plz?

When you make you make your fine turn of the knot less knot make one turn over the six turns of the knot, going back toward the eye before threading through the eye - this final turn hold the turns of the knot in place stopping them from spinning.
