All the young uns need to be warned that there's a bit of Chilly in all of us, and the older you get, the more he appears, and the less you'll put up with the nonsense side of carping. 😂
Just seems like a proper irratated old fella that thinks all opinions are 100% right my dads getting like this with age talks about opinions and how you shouldnt get annoyed its just an opinion then gets annoyed when someone else has one 😂😂😂 if somthing works for someone fair play theres flaws in most things people do
@@cooper....... you just don't like the truth maybe as its too much for you instead preferring bullshit ,he's just straight forward pal some people can't handle that he's happy it's called oldskool .
I think that youtuber Matthew collins or whatever he is called started all this, he says things so confidently that weak minded people take his opinions as fact
Anyone who thinks a Ronnie rig isn’t effective is being ignorant. There super effective if used correctly. Because one man don’t like it don’t mean it’s not a great rig. Yes it’s over engineered but does it matter. Hooks can be changed in seconds and the boom sections last years. Same as hand sharpened hooks. Do your own snd it will improve the hook ratio. But they have there place. Snags and weed I’ll always opt for an out the packet there been checked as even there can be burred over or in bad shape. Do what makes you confident regardless of others.
Correct , but using a corrosion liquid they last 24hrs easily. You’re talking 30p a hook. Yet people sit behind £1000s worth of gear and worry over 30p
One of the best interviews ever! Just straight down the line stuff, honestly is the best policy! And in total agreement about rigs... I still use a bog standard hair rig for my bottom baits!
I love chilly straight to the point good on you mate no nonsense says it as it is 👍 Keep well my friend being ex para sergeant major, you better listen in !!!!!!😮😅❤ Regards Lee
Dont need the music. Is it just me who enjoys the sounds of the sounds of nature and even the traffic? Puts me into The pond frame of mind when watching it.
I’ve only got a small fraction of Chilly’s experience but I think his beef with the spinner rig is mostly based on sympathy for Dave Lane, not hard fact. The spinner objectively has the better mechanics in most if not all situations. No undesirable leverage, no eyes sticking out. The only advantage of a 360 I can think of is that it can present a pop up a few mm closer to the deck if balanced right, which can be an edge. Doesn’t matter much to me though as I mostly fish spinner rigs with wafters (aka turbo German rig). He’s spot on with the rest of his rant though 😅
Have u tried the 'reggie' rig I bet you have on rainbow 🌈 with bungle and his mate 😂 top anglers chilly and laney no bollocks just good solid angling 👌
@@whatsmining9917Sound like a newbie🤣🤣. I've been carp fishing since 1992 fella!!!! And in my opinion (I am allowed one) the Ronnie is an excellent pop up rig. And I haven't lost a single fish due to a hook pull and that is fact.
@@fox_international Ronnie, stiff hinge, chod and multi for wafters, but all gave an issue, nothing picked them up, So I put on a hair rig with a line aliner and boom,
Ronnie rigs - It's an effective rig and one of the best ways to present a low sitting pop-up. Is it revolutionary? No, as chilly said it's just a different take on the 360. Hand sharpened hooks - Not always necessary or wise as removing material from the point makes it more fragile but as we rely on self hooking properties in most of our carp fishing tactics I can never say a sharper hook is a bad thing. Hook sharpness out of the packet is better than it's ever been but that doesn't mean it can't be better, you can get a knife off the shelf that will dice up a tomato with no trouble but if you want something you can shave with then you're going to have to sharpen it further. Won't take a floater in here - Nonsense. They might not come up like a pack of piranhas at the first drop of a dog biscuit but on the right day and with the right approach to feeding there is always an opportunity. They don't count off the top - I'd argue they count for more at times because of the work required and the risks taken with lighter gear. I've just caught an upper 20 - No real opinion on this. As long as they're not lying about catching or guestimating badly I don't really care what someone else caught. As a fishery manager I'm interested in exact weights if possible (ideally witnessed by myself to ensure accuracy) to monitor the growth and health of my stock but it doesn't take long to work out whose scales/eyes can be trusted. If people want to lie then that's for them to live with, it doesn't matter to me, I'll always take the lower reading on a scale when it's jiggling around if I'm looking at a PB.
@@fox_international I'd like to hear Chilly's views on the complex challenges faced by the world markets as the global economic forum engages in political and civil society to shape financial and industrial agendas while attempting to uphold high standards of governance and moral intellectual integrity. I look forward to the man's inciteful opinion.
Opinions are like arseholes, and this one is mine…JUST LOVE IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been watching this video for less than a minute and I bloody love it already.
Tried most of the rigs including the ronnie got myself a bit confused so decided sod it i go back to simple rig fluro with soft braid hair whipped on , no bits and pieces at all no swivels no putty nice and invisible just to be slightly different its been working very well , love chillys very wise words
My opinion on this is that I bloody loved it. Especially the bit where chilly says his TV screen is his brolley door 👌 I to would never ever take a telly on the bank but do know people who do take them. There is to much to enjoy on any session on any lake.
Well put Chilly, nice to hear an honest opinion and hopefully someone people well learn to think for themselves and not just follow the latest trends,etc, for the sake of it. There's a time and place for all different rigs, baits, methods, etc. The more tricks you can have up your sleeves, the knowledge you have got to use it your head and knowing when to use the right options, makes you better anglers. One trick pony's do have good days but but a more rounded angler will get the best out of ever day!!! Can't wait for your next video Chilly, keep up the great work 👍
Big shout out to Ian chilly I am a supporter of Ian love your videos got your books leather bound of course a really good carp angler old school . Thank you chilly keep on carp fishing very best wishes from Mr Ben Golby 👌 👍
The best true statements I have ever listened to, well done Chilli a fantastic short podcast/interview which I couldn't agree more with you. It's a numbers game in captures or losses, all bullshit, not many if not very few have served what we call the apprenticeship, go to a big fish water with tackle only days old, never used before, catch a bigun, and then are experts, all bollocks.
i'm after a 20lb Common, this morning I had a 19lb 15oz PB Common, not 20lb on the nose!! I agree with everything Chilly said but one! The Ronnie rig fished with a bottom bait boilies is the best rig I've ever used! I've easily caught more fish on this rig then any other. The honesty in fish weights has always bothered me also, 30 on the nose, so 29lb 14oz then 😂
Great advice Chilly as a 73 yr old ( well I will be in 5 days time See what I did there 😂) who only started fishing a few years ago I need all the advice I can get.
Love it Chilly, so true on everything. There's so many carp anglers out there who are totally clueless, just like sheep they all follow the latest trends, makes me smile
New to carping as an adult (used to fish on bread and float when i was a nipper) glad i found this chan n video🎉, literally have a bundle of ronnie rigs in my amazon basket... quickest empty basket i think I've had😂
there is two sides to this but i like the ronnie rig over the 360 for one reason and it is its more versatile than the 360 because i can make like 3 different rigs following that style of the ronnie witch means i buy less clutter of terminal tackle and i can fish any situation with 1 style of rig implemented differently saving me money.
I guess I have always taken Ian for granted. Don't get me wrong I know his a good angler and for that he has always had respect but there are bigger names that I tried to learn bits from. Im just so gob smacked as to how much he says is what I believe. . Ian I salute you. 🎣
I agree with the weight thing... tell us the weight in lbs and ounces!! Another one for me is when anglers go abroad, they have to say the weight in kg 😂
Spot on Chilly. I was using a version of the Ronnie in eary 2000s on the car park and I certainly didn't invent it way back then. Take care my old mate
I have the same opinion about all of these rigs and different types. I also laughed when I saw people preparing different types of feed and bait. I always ask them if they're going to add a slice of tomato with salt and pepper 🤷🏻♂️
Incredible video "chilly" well played 👏👏I've been a carp angler for nearly 40 years im not at all famous in the game but my mindset has always been like what your saying. Never trust the bs and most of all don't listen to anyone on the bank, they talk a good show but generally it's all negatively, I wouldn't fish on that spot mate🤢 I wouldn't use that bait mate🤢 I wouldn't use that rig on here mate🤢 cos they have blanked themselves, why wouldn't they use their own advise to catch a carp, so boring..rant over....tight lines people good luck
Haha I'm just like him....my views are exactly the same!! Just say it how it is and fish how you want to fish. Think outside the box instead off following the trend. I think and use good old school basic tactics and have plenty of success. Personally I think carping has gone way to technical but each to there own I guess
If you make a break in some coated braid, it spins the same without having to use a ton of metal on your hook length. Generally, if everyone uses the same thing youre best using summat different. Sorts the successful angler from the herd. Ive had more pullouts wirh a long sharp point. Was cutting thru their mouth.
Very interesting video, l'm not a carp angler, l fish for pike, chub and perch but l do agree on the hook sharpening comment from lan, if the hook isn't sharp out of the packet l'll get another hook out of the packet, the exception to this are the hooks on my lures which are checked regularly and touched up if needed.
My most exciting times fishing was waking up at the crack of dawn make a tea then start feeding floating dog mixers out, seeing those big mouths come to the surface and strike and pull her in was my most memorable times of fishing....
I don't see how the ronnie is a rip off! The 360 on a lot of lakes is banned so it's a close alternative that's proven to have massive success. The KD rig is basically the hair rig just whipped a few turns different, is that a rip off? The blowback rig same thing as the hair rig but with a rig ring. And YES I know the mechanics behind all of them and why they are done but don't see why he's not hating on them either. These sort of videos are why carp fishing is as toxic as it is!
Agree 100% with Ian about the hooks, just a marketing ploy by tackle company's to get people to buy more gear. If a hook is dull change it, it's as simple as that. Cannot comment on Ronnie rigs, never used one. My philosophy is kis, keep it simple!!
@@fox_international i went back to my trusty multi rig for popups. I will always try to use a snowman blowback rig though. I have so much confidence with it
I’ve got to say chillie is spot on as there is so much crap in today’s carp fishing . The hair rig be it kd style , blowback,knotless knot , etc is just another take on the first hair rig and for pop ups you carnt beat the good old hinged stiff rig
I am not a massive Ronnie fan, nor am I someone who hand sharpens my own hooks, but then I don’t fly fish either 🤷🏻♂️ different strokes for different folks……along as it’s a safe rig! Not sure what the aim was with this video FOX 🥱🥱😂
To spark debate and some light entertainment, Chilly is one of carp fishing's great characters and whilst not all his opinions are shared with ours we are happy to let him share his views as it does raise some interesting arguments. It's up to the viewer so choose which side of the fence they sit on.
Brilliant video and some good points made and like some on here I have a problem with something. It’s “sharpened” not shapened. Maybe fox need a proof reader? I’m your man!!
Totally an agree especially on the Ronnie rig when used with stiff booms, never had so many ejections. Can’t beat a blow back rig with snowman. Old school whilst all the younguns have swivels, putty and god knows what else jangling around on the end.
I dont think people understood the start of the video 😂 everyone has a opinion and this is his, hes not saying hes right but thats his opinion 👍 good to see you at the weekend and put the world to right Chilly 😂👌
Our club has several waters where they don't take off the top. While this is a well known fact among the Carp Cognoscenti of the club no one has bothered to tell the carp.
In 46 years of carp fishing ive seen some crap over the years about this rig is the ultimate best ever but some rigs are genuinely great.I still catch on snowman set ups catch all the time.
Iv caught carp off the surface at my local runs water most this winter and people think surface fishing in winter isn’t worth it believe me it is don’t get me rong it’s not easy you may get one or two short windows through the day when they take
We may not all agree with Chilli's opinions but I think that we can all agree that Chilly is a legend in the Angling World. It's great to hear your views though mate and I do agree with most of them tbf
I think the 360 was banned for good reason, it’s unsafe as there’s so much you can get caught in the net. The Ronnie is what the 360 should’ve been. I think there’s lots of truth in what Ian says about there being nothing wrong with the hair rig.
Every rig since the hair is based on the hair it’s a bait not directly attached to the hook .the multi rig is good as you can change the hook easily and it hooks well with pop ups ,bog standard hair rigs of various lengths in hair and hook link still work great on bottom baits and balanced baits .Some of the stuff I see put on rigs these days is getting mind numbing ,I would rather find the fish and use a good baiting program or method of baiting to catch a few ,the most fangled complicated rigs won’t get you a single bite if your not in the right area .
Completely! Agree with everything he said cant stand when people make out there fish is bigger then it really is a fish is a fish and saves a blank. Cany understand why people change there rigs every 20-30 minutes leave it there and the fish will find it keep putting it out there you will never catch
I hate it when people have to lie about the waight of a fish that you cought yourself at 14lb and 2 weeks later its 18lb or a fish they say is a 20lb fish then you catch it 2/3 weeks later and its 18lb
I like the view of this man! The best edge a fisher can have is fishing on the right spot at the right time with the right bait. Rig mechanics do matter, but it's all downstream from location and bait.
There is a gazillion options to fish for carp. Just pick the one you feel comfortable with and have 100% faith in. Think for yourself. And lastly; let everyone fish they way they want to. Enjoy the hobby and have constructive criticism.
I hate both the Ronnie and 360 for different reasons. The hinge is mechanically far superior to both. Anyway I like that everyone’s using the same rig now, means I have another edge. There is no doubt at all that a sharpened hook is beneficial though. Im shocked that Ian can’t see this, brush up so it sticks in your nail at barely any pressure will prick easier and penetrate faster than most pack sharp hook. On Helis and chods this is far more important imo. Fox + Ian please go to a runs water and film it. One rod with sharpened hooks vs pack sharp and let’s find out
All the young uns need to be warned that there's a bit of Chilly in all of us, and the older you get, the more he appears, and the less you'll put up with the nonsense side of carping. 😂

*Chilly likes this comment*
Can you sharpen the hook when you use a Ronnie rig?
I think that youtuber Matthew collins or whatever he is called started all this, he says things so confidently that weak minded people take his opinions as fact
makes them brittle
OMG, how I’d like to sit and talk with Ian! We are completely on the same page…great video

Do what makes you confident regardless of others.
absolutely Confidence is key
Wouldnt say ronnie is the most effective, yes you can change your hook fast but im just a normal person i have time to tie rig up hand
You're doing more harm than good trying to sharpen an hook once you take the coating off it will deteriorate faster.
Correct , but using a corrosion liquid they last 24hrs easily. You’re talking 30p a hook. Yet people sit behind £1000s worth of gear and worry over 30p
Well said Chilly! I can remember the days every man and his dog were using a chod rig! I’ve never used a Ronnie as the 360 is more than adequate.
One of the best interviews ever! Just straight down the line stuff, honestly is the best policy! And in total agreement about rigs... I still use a bog standard hair rig for my bottom baits!

Dont need the music. Is it just me who enjoys the sounds of the sounds of nature and even the traffic? Puts me into The pond frame of mind when watching it.
Can use use the 378 rig on the surface or is the Ronnie the best for zigs ?
I’ve only got a small fraction of Chilly’s experience but I think his beef with the spinner rig is mostly based on sympathy for Dave Lane, not hard fact. The spinner objectively has the better mechanics in most if not all situations. No undesirable leverage, no eyes sticking out. The only advantage of a 360 I can think of is that it can present a pop up a few mm closer to the deck if balanced right, which can be an edge. Doesn’t matter much to me though as I mostly fish spinner rigs with wafters (aka turbo German rig). He’s spot on with the rest of his rant though 😅

My most exciting times fishing was waking up at the crack of dawn make a tea then start feeding floating dog mixers out, seeing those big mouths come to the surface and strike and pull her in was my most memorable times of fishing....
The people that think carp off the top don't count are really just bream anglers so they don't count.
😂😂😂
I don't see how the ronnie is a rip off! The 360 on a lot of lakes is banned so it's a close alternative that's proven to have massive success. The KD rig is basically the hair rig just whipped a few turns different, is that a rip off? The blowback rig same thing as the hair rig but with a rig ring. And YES I know the mechanics behind all of them and why they are done but don't see why he's not hating on them either. These sort of videos are why carp fishing is as toxic as it is!
Agree 100% with Ian about the hooks, just a marketing ploy by tackle company's to get people to buy more gear. If a hook is dull change it, it's as simple as that. Cannot comment on Ronnie rigs, never used one. My philosophy is kis, keep it simple!!
I've lost as many carp that I've landed fishing the Ronnie rig. Because of this ratio in my fishing, I haven't cast a Ronnie for a few years now
Which rig do you use now?
@@fox_international i went back to my trusty multi rig for popups. I will always try to use a snowman blowback rig though. I have so much confidence with it
I’ve got to say chillie is spot on as there is so much crap in today’s carp fishing . The hair rig be it kd style , blowback,knotless knot , etc is just another take on the first hair rig and for pop ups you carnt beat the good old hinged stiff rig
I really like this guy he is not afraid to tell it like it is.
I’d like
To shake his hand great interview
I am not a massive Ronnie fan, nor am I someone who hand sharpens my own hooks, but then I don’t fly fish either 🤷🏻♂️ different strokes for different folks……along as it’s a safe rig!
Not sure what the aim was with this video FOX 🥱🥱😂
To spark debate and some light entertainment, Chilly is one of carp fishing's great characters and whilst not all his opinions are shared with ours we are happy to let him share his views as it does raise some interesting arguments. It's up to the viewer so choose which side of the fence they sit on.
Brilliant video and some good points made and like some on here I have a problem with something.
It’s “sharpened” not shapened.
Maybe fox need a proof reader?
I’m your man!!
Now this is the type of honestly that fishing needs. Well done and amazing views. I couldn't agree more 🎣
Good to see you back
Back with a bang 🔥
What can I say, completely on the same page. All experience, no BS_
Love your honesty ian ,cheers matt hunt
👌🏻
Chilly never changes, that`s why we all love him. But, as usual, everything he says is right and the older we get the more like him we want to be.
What is he right about 😂
Now there we have it to the point 👍
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Never sharpened any hook, once used the same hook over several trips at Marsh Farm and had 20+ Crucian Carp and Tench on it.
Totally an agree especially on the Ronnie rig when used with stiff booms, never had so many ejections. Can’t beat a blow back rig with snowman. Old school whilst all the younguns have swivels, putty and god knows what else jangling around on the end.
You cannot beat charisma. Respect, Sir Chillcott.
I dont think people understood the start of the video 😂 everyone has a opinion and this is his, hes not saying hes right but thats his opinion 👍 good to see you at the weekend and put the world to right Chilly 😂👌
Our club has several waters where they don't take off the top.
While this is a well known fact among the Carp Cognoscenti of the club no one has bothered to tell the carp.
Love Chilly. The graphics and videos added to this meant I couldn't watch it all the way through though...
In 46 years of carp fishing ive seen some crap over the years about this rig is the ultimate best ever but some rigs are genuinely great.I still catch on snowman set ups catch all the time.
The 360 rig was banned because it’s a dangerous rig when not tied with shrink tube over the eye. Not because of jealousy.
Iv caught carp off the surface at my local runs water most this winter and people think surface fishing in winter isn’t worth it believe me it is don’t get me rong it’s not easy you may get one or two short windows through the day when they take
It isn’t if the carp are worth catching.
Did you use a Ronnie rig on the surface. I'm new to carp fishing
@@user-bl5jr5vz6i: He did try it but it sunk !!
We may not all agree with Chilli's opinions but I think that we can all agree that Chilly is a legend in the Angling World. It's great to hear your views though mate and I do agree with most of them tbf
We agree, a True LEGEND! What else would you like to hear Chilly talk about?
top bloke and very interesting.
Top Bloke indeed 🔥🦊
Excellent thoughts Chilly I like the common sense attitudes about the "hype" surrounding carp fishing
I think the 360 was banned for good reason, it’s unsafe as there’s so much you can get caught in the net. The Ronnie is what the 360 should’ve been. I think there’s lots of truth in what Ian says about there being nothing wrong with the hair rig.
Ello chilly good to see you lookink so well and still casting a line, very best wishes mate and tight lines , Scouse Connell ex 2 para,
Every rig since the hair is based on the hair it’s a bait not directly attached to the hook .the multi rig is good as you can change the hook easily and it hooks well with pop ups ,bog standard hair rigs of various lengths in hair and hook link still work great on bottom baits and balanced baits .Some of the stuff I see put on rigs these days is getting mind numbing ,I would rather find the fish and use a good baiting program or method of baiting to catch a few ,the most fangled complicated rigs won’t get you a single bite if your not in the right area .
Completely! Agree with everything he said cant stand when people make out there fish is bigger then it really is a fish is a fish and saves a blank. Cany understand why people change there rigs every 20-30 minutes leave it there and the fish will find it keep putting it out there you will never catch
Chilly is a great carp angler no questions but I have had more Carp using a Ronnie rig and 360 spninner rig but love your views
I hate it when people have to lie about the waight of a fish that you cought yourself at 14lb and 2 weeks later its 18lb or a fish they say is a 20lb fish then you catch it 2/3 weeks later and its 18lb
Just keep doing what you do.
🙌🙌
I couldn't agree more with everything said in this.
YESSS!! What else would you like to hear chilly give his opinion on?
@@fox_internationalbait additives like the famous "goo"
I like the view of this man! The best edge a fisher can have is fishing on the right spot at the right time with the right bait. Rig mechanics do matter, but it's all downstream from location and bait.
You are right!
There is a gazillion options to fish for carp. Just pick the one you feel comfortable with and have 100% faith in. Think for yourself. And lastly; let everyone fish they way they want to. Enjoy the hobby and have constructive criticism.
But it does catch fish
I hate both the Ronnie and 360 for different reasons. The hinge is mechanically far superior to both. Anyway I like that everyone’s using the same rig now, means I have another edge. There is no doubt at all that a sharpened hook is beneficial though. Im shocked that Ian can’t see this, brush up so it sticks in your nail at barely any pressure will prick easier and penetrate faster than most pack sharp hook. On Helis and chods this is far more important imo. Fox + Ian please go to a runs water and film it. One rod with sharpened hooks vs pack sharp and let’s find out
The Ronnie Rig & Claw Hooks … the most sought after new fashion !!
Don’t be like sheep !
Which rig do you use?
@@fox_international simple hair rig / combi link.
