@notmakai I use QC Swivels on my lead systems to allow me to change the rigs nice and quickly after each cast

@ thanks for the info mate!

@notmakai you're welcome mate, any time

@davidortizgomez752 the bait stays on the hair and just hangs to create a separation between the hook and the bait

Thank you very much, I didn't know if you had to turn the hook around. ​@@mikesparksangler

@davidortizgomez752 no problem, the hook basically sits behind the hook pointing the opposite way to the bait, this is because it doesn't hook the fish when the fish takes it. It only hooks the fish when the fish tries to blow the rig back out

​@@mikesparksanglerthanks you very much

@johanwithag2432 it's specifically for fishing into heavy weed, I use this concept a lot and the lead doesn't eject until it comes into real strain. Hardly ever lose leads on normal takes. But when the fish is in heavy weed I will only just put the tail rubber on so as soon as the fish has taken the bait and shaken the lead off, the fish then comes right up in the water and allows you to clear all the weed for safety.

@@dface6447 nice, :) 100% agree

@LucasCoelho-i3o thanks mate, I appreciate it. I always make them myself mate as i find them stronger. I have a video on just how to make them ;)

@@elijahadams2588 simple and effective 👌

@@goranmatlijoski6762 love catching a big eel ;)

@@mikesparksangler anything that tightens the line and gives a great fight

@@goranmatlijoski6762 100% I love catching them all, big and small. So addictive

@@Ajholes pretty much :)

@@prestonheath5524 let's say all of the above ;)

@RileySmith-dk6lb it's just a dayticket lake now mate. Pay on the bank. Used to be closed as a syndicate for a while and then they opened back up as a day ticket with the option for an annual membership

@@mikesparksangler cheers mate quite new to fishing so I'm just gonna ust corn on the bottom got any suggestions

@RileySmith-dk6lb corn works well mate, can't beat the golden grain. The bigger fish in that lake tend to respond well to pellets and boilies but you'll catch a mixed bag on corn and natural baits. You only need to fish a rod length out on this lake as its very deep

@@mikesparksangler thanks mate do u know what fish is in here

@RileySmith-dk6lb carp up to low 30s and a mixed bag of course fish. Lots of roach, rudd, bream, tench and perch. Also F1s and specimen Crucians

@Lakenbeer yeah man it's the only rig I use in solid bags now

@@mikesparksangler sweet, I'd better buy some micro swivels!

Would you rather use a kicker so can be quick change to

@stephenwooding8704 great suggestion, I do tend to use the small kickers these days for close range work but I always use shrink tubing for distance casting as it grips better and stops the Slip D section sliding against the weight of the hookbait

​@stephenwooding8704 i use some silicone tubing 0.7 mm it's tight going over the eye the first time, but you can reuse it over and over again. Kickers for me weren't tight enough the d section moved when loading a solid bag

July 2023 mate. Haven't seen any this year yet unfortunately. Have you had any luck?

@@mikesparksangler Nope. I've been out a couple of times. There's loads of birds in the solent. I think they're feeding off the bait fish. When they move in shore the mackies will follow. I hope

@guessooTube let's hope so mate, they're late this year for sure

1.5mm wide but as long as it fits over the eye of the hook it's perfect.

Yes, it works very well for most species of fish, but it will depend on the type of bait you use.

Thanks mate, great name too ;)

Simple but effective

100% mate, I use it a lot for all sorts of different fishing situations

Cheers dude :) have you tried it or something similar?

Cheers mate, appreciate it. Was a great session. Can't wait to get back down there 💪

No problem mate I can do, also if you check out my video Surface fishing Newlands Farm at around 09:50 you will see my usual setup :) hope that helps

Cheers mate really appreciate that, thanks for the feedback mate. In terms of fish-care either way is safe if you do it properly. Been doing this my whole life and never once had an issue. Just personal preference :) but great to see you're passionate enough about the sport to give it the thought :)

It's the Caperlan tank braid in the dark camo colour. :) it's the same braid I use on all my rigs now.

Cheers dude really appreciate that. :)

Cheers mate, really appreciate that. 👍 do you get out fishing much this time of year?

Cheers mate appreciate that :) 🙏

Cheers mate, it is a bit jerky tbh. Probably just a shoddy edit mate🤣 learning as I go. Haha

@@mikesparksangler nah fair play to you for doing it mate, it wasn’t a criticism what so ever. I do a carping channel too and a channel for my work and I know what it’s like editing this stuff. Out of interest what camera and editing software do you use? I use Movavi and use a GoPro 9 camera.

Thanks mate, it's a Canon 6D Mark 2

Cheers dude :) appreciate that

Cheers dude means a lot, love this rig! :)

Do you class this as a winter rig

@thecarpfather5757 it does seem to work well in Winter but I think that's because when the leaves fall in Autumn there is a lot of debris on the lake bed so the chod lends itself perfectly to these kinds of situations. But equally I will use it in the summer over any heavy weed

@mikesparksangler did a day today with a buddy he's a sit and wait guy I like to roam my rods every 45 to 60 minutes single high attraction bsits and I had a fish he didn't I was using the multi rig wich is my go to rig in winter but I'm definitely thinking of using the chod as its something I've never used I don't feel confident in it but on the other 2 rods there were dead leaves and twigs this being from the middle of a silty lake so I was left thinking would I have had more had I used the chod im off the weekend for a roam with chods

@thecarpfather5757 good angling mate, it's always good to be thinking ahead. Got nothing to lose by trying :) best of luck for your trip

That does give it away 😉

Cheers dude, means a lot 👊

Cheers mate appreciate it 👍

Cheers mate, leave the hat alone. Its a good hat 🤣

Yes, mate, I always prefer a straight point these days, i find the hook up ratio to be much higher. I nearly always go for a size 4. But as of this year, I've been using the Caperlan Chod hooks in size 4. They're crazy sharp, really strong, and a bit lighter

You need to use a baiting needle and either a pre-drilled pellet or drill out a pellet and pull the hair loop through the bait. So the hair goes through the centre of the pellet and then trap it in place with a bait stop

It's the Caperlan Flow Braid in 25lb

Cheers mate 👍

🤣🤣

Cheers dude, appreciate this! Great Rig choices mate. All very strong choices 💪

I'll make a video for you mate 👍

Sounds practical mate, I'm sure all those bits work but the reason I tie this is to reduce the metal components and make everything lighter and more sensitive. Cute fish are certainly more sensitive to metal, their lateral lines are finely tuned.

​@mikesparksangler I have the same amount you do you use a swivel on the hook same as me but its a plastic bait screw that has the swivel you use built in to the plastic bait screw so no need for the D part and you use a bead try tungsten beads they are rubber impregnated with tungsten no need for putty or shot

​@aarondavies8486 ah nice, sounds good mate. Cheers for the idea. I like the putty because it covers the knot and the "perfect loop knot" because it sits dead straight. Just a preference but I must admit I've tried a lot of different ways in the past. 😂

I'm an ambassador for Caperlan mate so yes mostly. Have you tried any of the products?

@@mikesparksangler yeah mate I use a lot of the flours and meals they sell for boilie making

@Aaron Davies Nice mate, the bait ranges are great and the boilie ranges are really good, my favourite is the new flavour Crustacean and black pepper.

@@mikesparksangler I don't buy the boiles I but the corn meal hemp meal and a few other to roll my own boilies

@Aaron Davies yeah that's fair enough mate, I used to roll my own hookbaits but now I only use Caperlan or DNA Baits

It's the new luggage from Caperlan mate, it's from the All in one range and this one is size Medium. Fits my tackle box inside and a load of other bits plus it has the rigid table top. Brilliant bit of kit.

It's the Korda Tackle Box, I love it and it fits perfectly inside one of my luggage bags as a whole rig station. Maybe I'll make a video on it soon :)

Got some Triggalink and got some hooks on order too, Cheers guys. 👍🎣

The best thing for any rig is using components you have 100% confidence in. I have caught hundreds of Carp on this exact setup. If ain't broke don't fix it 😊

@Shane King best braid going mate no one uses it and with the new nash running leadclips its devastating them new leadclips are a game changer no lead to use to get rid of the rig also please soak your triggerlink in warm water befor use to get rid of all the pva other wise don't work as good brother

@Mike Sparks true but they will wise up to rigs the bungee cord of triggerlink carp have no clue what to do with it and that added to the running leadclips no matter how weary the carp just have no clue what to do as no one uses triggerlink only person I have ever seen use it on TH-cam is Jim shelly

@Aaron Davies do what works best for you mate. That's one of the joys of angling, it's the very personal approach that give the best rewards

Caperlan is the brand mate. The hook pattern is called 900 Wild X

@@mikesparksangler ok thanks, I like the look of them, cheers for the prompt reply.

@Shane King no problem mate, I'm actually out on the bank right now using them. They're great hooks, really aggressive, and strong 💪

​@Shane King its off decathlon

@@aarondavies8486 yep, it's the decathlon fishing brand
