Shall we call it a draw and close the thread, i think we've explored most of the combi rig theories , which really what the thread was about, and i have no wish to get into a slanging match over this , ive no doubt we'll meet again on future threads but for now i'm out

Ooh touched a nerve Tel !

Carp fishing has been made exciting by clever media and the likes of danny fairbrass and his Korda machine and a whole host of individuals that use facebook instagram and their own blogs and websites that makes carp fishing appealing which is why you see so many youngsters on the lakes , were...

Im afraid all the time barbel fishing has the likes of des taylor as its leading light and ambassador were destined to remain in the 60's

Jrc x lite recliner ,

Too many closed minds i'm afraid , granted on some rivers fairly simple rigs/baits will work quite well but as some on here fail to recognise there are waters/stretches that contain pressured cagey fish that require a different mindset and approach to be successful and consistent and look to the...

Have you considered Seaguar ace hard flouro as a leader in say 35lb bs ? Really tough

How about " my way with horse hair line "

Thought i'd ramp up the interest on this forum and take us back to a time of cane rods, pipes and tea in a china cup and saucer for the technophobes on here ! Quite like a farmhouse fruit cake but must be cut with a barbless knife

I hate to bring more bad news to the table but the hook in the photo i put on is a talon tip barbed hook not barbless must be the angle the hook is lying in the photo , i never use barbless hooks , albiet they are v small barbs.

As i previously posted im happy to debate this and ive been pretty patient but your holier than thou attitude towards rigs is starting to grate on me ! You waded into the thread dismissing the whole concept of slightly more advanced tigs as a load of tosh and your last post with a dig at...

Fancy rigs with fancy breaking points , whats all that about !!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi, its been an interesting debate that thankfully hasnt descended into a argumentative one but im guessing that we've all got our own perspectives on what is safe and effective suffice to say although to some a combi rig is unnecessary and perhaps unsafe i always make sure that the...

I could play devils advocate here and say that failure to test , test and test again your knots , line bs, hooks, swivels and any other components you decide to use on your set is lazy and short sighted . I dont trust manufacturers stated claims on line strengths or hook strength and as i...

If ,and its a big if , i was fishing an area where having a snagged lead would be disaster for the fish or me you can always use this method where you use pva tape instead of a tail rubber and once the pva melts the lead can fall off either on pick up or on the initial run
