SAMANTHA COLLINS-RATCLIFFE
Samantha Collins-Ratcliffe is a school teacher as well as a very keen carp
angler, aged 25 and lives in Cornwall. She's been fishing now for several years
after her partner got  her into it when she went to Suffolk with him on a five
day carp fishing session.
That was where Samantha caught her first carp and then she was hooked. She's
caught carp from two different continents and goes to France a number of times a
year. Her UK PB is 44lb 12oz. She is sponsored by Realtree, Diamond weights, TF
Gear and Quest Baits
THE CHOD RIG
The Chod Rig has to be one of most favoured long distance rigs. Its presentation
could be described as second to none.
The Chod rig was designed for fishing over silty bottoms or over debris but
works well when fishing single hookbaits at long distance.

ABOUT THE RIGS PAGE
The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will be
useful to both beginners and experienced anglers.
The rigs can be extremely simple and well known, or very complicated and little
known, it doesn't matter providing they make some kind of sense and have a
really practical application.
It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate seeing
in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the experienced carp
angler would like to see.
IF YOU WISH TO CONTRIBUTE a rig to this section please remember that the
emphasis is on illustration rather than words. Good line drawings are fine in
the absence of photographs. Please send to graham@fishingmagic.com
