No boat traffic as it's at night time so lines can be anyway needed. What kind of line lay would you use and what lead system. e.g slack lines/running lead....... Thanks. Dan.
@matthewcollinsangler3 жыл бұрын
@@danielwoolcock7267 Hi Dan, I've never fished canals myself, 20ft wide is so narrow! I'd be scratching my head myself figuring out the best approach. I think what I'd do is make the cast or use a bait spoon/cup to get it spot on, then I'd slide a very light back lead out to ¾ of the way across. This will help keep the line out of the way of carp that are following the margin. I'd definitely use a simple running ledger (2oz). Any bites will be fish moving left to right and probably back towards you! So good indication is vital. Hope that helps mate. Let me know how you get on! Cheers, Matt.

It does depend a lot on the waters you fish so maybe you just need to look beyond the waters you know. If you really want to get away from everyone and do your own thing then I'd highly recommend the rivers or canals. The fishing is harder but more rewarding for it. Cheers, Matt.

I think that is a symptom of crowded lakes in a crowded country. A problem that isn't specific to carp angling. It is society in general. Unhealthy competition, oneupmanship and boasting are the result of overcrowding. For myself, the only answer is to try to find quieter lakes (usually those with smaller fish), keep a low profile and avoid the whole competitive 'carp scene' as much as possible.

Hi Matt, thank you for another great lesson. I have tried the mono hair rig by last weekend but I went blank. I was fishing short range and more or less a semi slack line with a run rig but I think it should have been a really slack line instead. I could see the fish lifting up the bobbins quite some times but as soon as the tension became too high (at least that is my assumption) they dropped the bait again. Next time I will try it differently, since now I know better... Cheers mate! Alex

Hi Alex, thanks for commenting. I’m glad that you liked the video. Telling the difference between a real bite and a line bite is very difficult. It takes years of practice but there is a shortcut. I’d suggest that you try one of my trick bite indications systems.

Have a watch of my mono D rig video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCrc2SdnsSmh9U or for an inline approach my trick running inline rig: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3WYaYece6qWp68 Hope that helps you work out what's' going on down there!

I would only fish bow tight if I’m fishing up against a snag as you need instant indication for obvious reasons,also forgot to mention I have used back leads but other than keeping the line pinned to the bottom for a longer distance from the lead I find that back leads are more trouble than there worth ie playing fish and a very late bite indication ie the fish as traveled a lot before the tension hits the bite alarm!

Really informative as always matt but what about really weedy lakes how would you have your line lay.
@matthewcollinsangler3 жыл бұрын
Hi Lee, that’s a great question actually. It’s quite a few years since I’ve done any time on a weedy venue but I’ve fished a few both in the UK and in France. When I’ve fished weedy lakes all my fishing has been done at range so for me it’s been tight lines all the way. Weed can move and drift and I just don’t see any point in fishing slack or semi slack in weed. The line lay is going to be all over the place anyway so the best I can do is tighten down real hard and hope for the best. The weed is going to do a good job of disguising my line so it’s not all bad. I certainly would not use a back lead in weed unless it was a captive one and the margins were shallow compared to some deeper water. I’d only do that to make playing fish over my lines easier and it’s very lake specific to making that setup work. You definitely don’t want to back lead in a deep margin, then fish to a deep spot and have your line go up and over the weed as the loss in bite indication will be very significant. Hope that helps. Cheers, Matt.

@matthewcollinsangler3 жыл бұрын
Hi mate, thanks for commenting. Glad you liked the video. There are plenty of options. It just depends on the exact nature of the situation. The most obvious solution is to fish from the margin you want to target in the first place. Sometimes it's possible to drop a rig on a margin and walk it back round to a swim. Sure you might have to pass it round a few trees but it can be done. Then there's waders. Lots of our guests here use waders to place rigs by walking around a margin. Be sure to take a prodding stick and know the depths! Then there's boats of course. I often row out baits or use a bait boat. I've also cast into a far margin and walked a rig along to the spot. Then there's bait spoons. The Nash bush whacker being the ultimate in terms of capability. Hope that gives you food for thought. Cheers, Matt.

Hi Matt, Thanks for the concise videos. I have a couple of questions if i may. Which knot have you found strongest for Nash Bullet 20lb to a swivel? You showed the loop knot you use in a previous rig video, i tried this with a .55mm mono hook link but found it quite bulky and it wouldn't cinch down enough for my liking, i have since tried the perfection loop and it seems good, would you endorse the perfection loop or does it have a floor in it?
@matthewcollinsangler Жыл бұрын
Hi mate, When tying Bullet 20lb to a swivel, I’ve struggled to get consistent results to be honest, and I’ve tried plenty of different knots. It’s nothing to do with the Bullet, it’s that tying mono to a swivel and get a really strong knot consistently is quite tricky. The Palomar is probably the simplest to tie and the most consistent I’ve found. The key is to make sure you test your knot each and every single time. To get the best strength out of any mono, the best thing to do is to tie it to a lead free leader with a uni knot. I’ve heard of the perfection loop but to be honest, I don’t use it because I can’t tie it! So if it works for you and it tests consistently then that’s the one for you 😊 For 0.55 mono, the non slip mono loop knot (3 turn) would be my first choice. Hope that helps, Cheers, Matt

@@matthewcollinsangler Thanks for the response, i shall have a look at adding in a leadless leader. I am struggling with consistency when testing, I'm glad its not just me.

I will try it in all the different breaking strains of mono that I have and see how it performs.

Another great video Matt. One question, I fish a small lake so its all close fishing, with the 20lb line i use, do I really need any leader of any kind, or should I rely on the line dropping slack as heavy line of .40 does mostly?
@matthewcollinsangler3 жыл бұрын
Hi Richard, so I always use either 1m of leadless leader or 1m of heavy rig tubing but I would only add a shock or abrasion leader if I absolutely had to. My go to choice is 20lbs 0.40 mono and that works great. Last year I used ESP syncro XT loaded and it worked OK but it doesn't cast great. Tends to stick together and even when you wet it thoroughly it doesn't exactly fly off the spool. This year I’m trialling Nash Bullet and I’m getting on much better. It sinks well and it casts beautifully. Knot strength is fantastic as is abrasion resistance. Like many modern lines it does have some memory and so after a while it goes a bit “bongly” and won’t stretch out like good old Big Game would. Big Game is great but it’s very stretchy. Bullet gives me more feel on the drop. If you want to pin down a few extra feet then you could up the length of the leadless leader or just add a few drops of tungsten putty above the knot. Best of luck, Matt.

Great tips Matt, I'm just curious your view on the Fox tethered back leads? I've been using them for a long time partly because I'm a bit of a cheapskate and I don't want to keep loosing backleads and also I feel that leaving lots of leads in the water as a form of littering.
@matthewcollinsangler11 сағат бұрын
Hi mate, I share your philosophy on not leaving leads behind. I used to use the Fox captive back leads for my river carping but I have to say I don't use them anymore. I just don't get on with them. They should only be used if you're using a very heavy lead because the chances of moving the lead when you're sliding a heavy captive back lead in position is very high, especially when using braided mainline which is what I use on the river. Personally I think back leads are over used (not saying that's what you're doing!) and I avoid fishing with them if I can. We have a dedicated video on back leads in the pipeline. Cheers, Matt

For snag free open water fishing where braided leaders are banned, I'd use 20lb Nash Bullet to 10lb Bullet mainline.

Very informative video Matt, but I have a question for you. How the situation looks in weedy conditions, I use chod rig and helicopter system there. Are you recommend to use also backled to make the mono more invisible to fish? Usually I use a slack line. Greetings from Poland.
@matthewcollinsangler3 жыл бұрын
Hi mate, thanks for commenting. Personally I do not use the chod rig. Helicopter rigs yes but not the chod. I’ve lost too many fish on the chod. I have just finished another video on helicopter rigs so that will be out soon. If you are dealing with weed then I definitely would not introduce a back lead into this situation. The only way to fish in weed is with tight lines IMO. I’ve done a lot of solid PVA bags fishing into weed or fishing zigs over the top of the weed. Both very successful techniques. If the weed isn't too bad then I would fish a standard helicopter rig with a popup and set the top bead at the top of the leader or free running so it just settles nicely over the top. Hope that helps, all the best with your adventures in Poland! Cheers, Matt.

@@matthewcollinsangler Thanks for reply Matt 😀. At the moment my brother and I have 100% effectiveness (3 carp: 12kg, 15,5kg and 20,5kg) with chod rig (we are using Heli Safe from Korda, lead is always drop-off after bite. Our venue is covered maybe in 99% by Chara fragilis (similar weed to Canadian pondweed). We placed chod's on weed with lovely bait presentation, but by last session I noticed a lot of indications from alarms (I thinks it's a fish collisions with main line ). Do you still recommend using a tight line? If I tight my mono, I will ruin chod presentation. PVA bags don't work well there, because they bury themselves in the weed and in my opinion the presentation of the lure is not the best. Is only my observations, im young carp angler (2 years of internship in carp angling). I must try zigs there!

@@michu4314 Hi mate, hey if what you're doing is working then don't change anything! Weed is very variable and even on one lake some presentations will work better or worse than others. Black foam zigs over weed is a killer method. But you normally have to dump the lead (which I hate) and I don't like using plastic baits as in the event of a line failure, the rig can still catch a carp days or weeks later until the hook goes blunt. All the best with your adventures, cheers, Matt.

Hi Sam, I used to use quite large back leads but this winter I dropped down to some little 15g ones from Nash. They are all you need on most still waters and because they are light they aren't a pain when playing fish. They also stay on the line really well unlike some I've tried which literally drop off every time which was very frustrating. Cheers, Matt.

Thanks Matt top tips as always, 1 question I will ask is rod angle, I have seen anglers with rods low to the water, some have them level and some I have seen with the rod tip pitched high, what if any is the benefit of having them high I have found a lot of false bite indication with them high and movement if the wind picks up, personally I have mine level or pointing down slightly,
@matthewcollinsangler3 жыл бұрын
Hi Chris, thanks as always for commenting. That's an excellent question actually. So as a general rule I fish my rods parallel to the water. I don’t tend to fish tips down as I normally fish shallow lakes. Watch my rod setup video for the reason why I do this. Regarding tips up, so there’s nothing wrong with fishing tips slightly up but I see no reason for having tips way up in the air unless drifting weed is a problem and you are trying to minimise the amount of line in the water. If it’s windy then exposing the rod and line to even more wind is never a good idea. Cheers, Matt.

Hi Robert, glad you liked it. No such thing as a silly question 😊 Ok so if you imagine a tight line that is very tight, so tight that if it were any tighter the lead would move. Then imagine a very slack line, so slack that the line hangs vertically from the tip. Semi slack is basically anything in between but for me it’s a line that hangs in a soft curve between the tip of the rod and where the line enters the water. Hope that helps! Cheers, Matt.

Hi mate, thanks for commenting. Delighted that you enjoyed it. Ok so that’s a quality reel you have there so no point in blaming that! I’m pretty sure I understand what’s going on here. I change my line twice a year. If the line was on the reels when you bought them the first thing to do is re-spool. Mono does not like light so it degrades over time. The problem was accentuated because you were surface fishing in warm weather. Your mainline line is suffering from what I call coiliness (technical term lol.) Watch my video on tangles and twists and all will be revealed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppeUnmt8f66DbM0. To fix this, the first thing I’d do is re-spool. Then you need to pay more attention to keeping your line damp, especially when fishing short sessions. Try my wrist band technique (overnight) and you’ll be amazed at the difference when you go to actually fish. Let me know how you get on. Cheers, Matt.

@matthewcollinsangler Жыл бұрын
Hi mate, for my distance work I use the Nash 12lb Bullet which is 0.33. I did try the 0.28 but that was a bit too thin for my needs. When tied to a leadless leader the 12lbs Bullet is very strong and it does cast well. If I use a 3oz lead then I don’t need a leader but for max range you’ll need to use 6m of shock leader. I use the Nash HD snag leader in 30lbs 👍 I used the Delkim TXi’s for 12 years so I’m very familiar with them. Switching to the Nash Sirens was the best thing I ever did and a massive step forward from the world of false bleeps and a sensitivity setting that is affected by the climatic conditions. I started with some R3’s (now discontinued but there is now a + version with more features). I've been using the R4s for a year and I absolutely love them. R4’s may be an overkill for some but I use virtually all the features. The new range of Siren Night glo bobbins and swingers are excellent. I use the Night glo bobbins. They are compatible with the R3+ and the R4’s. The R3+ are seriously worth looking at as they’ll meet most anglers' needs. Cheers, Matt.

Is the shock leader to prevent a crack off from the heavier lead? Do you tie this on with a back to back grinner? How does it work with a rig as I’ve only ever used a leader for spomb or marker float rods?
@matthewcollinsangler Жыл бұрын
@@richardsnape1025 Hi Richard, leaders are a big topic and we will be doing more on these but in short this is what I use when and why: I use short 1m long cling-on leaders to help to protect the carp's flanks during the fight and help to improve the line line to the spot. I use 5m of 0.50 heavy duty snag leader for shock leaders when casting big leads. I use 8m of 0.60 heavy duty snag leader for extra abrasion resistance when fishing close to rocks or snags. For my marker float/leading rod setup I use 6m of 30lbs braided shock leader to take the casting loads and save wear and tear on the 25lb spod & marker braid. The 30lbs leader is a lot thicker than the 25lb braid. Different knots suit different materials so it pays to experiment. I test every single one with a deadlift test to make sure it’s up to the job. Hope that helps! Cheers, Matt.

Hi James, I'd go with a very light back lead myself. Something in the 15 - 30g range. This will enable you to play fish over your other lines in shallow water and minimise the risk of wiping yourself out. Once the back lead is in place I would then slacken off so the line is hanging limp through the rings. It's kind of like slack lining but with the added advantage of a back lead. I would only do this in an open water situation and with a running lead setup. Best of luck, Matt.
