learn how to tie the "hair rig" - you will catch many more. They hook themselves easier but if you hook one bigger than 8lb, you will want to make sure those rods are fairly secure. another supermarket bait that works is cheddar cheese

[@GavinGalka]

I've heard and read of hair rigs before but haven't gotten around to using them. From what I understand though, they are one of the best methods for carp. Thanks for the tips, I'll have to give cheese a try and look into some better rod holders for when I'm chasing big carp.

Brother that first hook is waaaay too fucking big. Holy shit! Use inline or egg sinkers and you'll snag alot less. The hair rigs are easy to tie but i buy them pre tied at a local shop from korda and theyre like $4 each and it saves a lot of time. Using a cheap packbait of oatmeal and corn around the sinker will up your catch. Good luck

[@GavinGalka]

I found out pretty quick that I should have been using round weights, especially in those rocks, but it never occurred to me that my hooks were way to big. I honestly don't like using bigger gear than I have to, so could you tell me what size you normally use? Thanks for the comment.

[@tonynicoletti8161]

@GavinGalka between size 2 and 6. It seems crazy but little baitholder hooks, with a wide gape and short shank work best. Catch em up bro

[@GavinGalka]

Good to know man, I really appreciate it!

[@tadhghayden7601]

Just couldn't get enough of decorating that snag.with all kinds of gewellary ..but they caught in the end...came out triumphant..
