Codding

I keep seeing references to "codding" in various fishing magazines
and they don't mean Sea Fishing. What is it?

 

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Spodding?........

 

[chav professor]

Rods on tripods, tips high in the air and heavy feeders to hold bottom. Its a method that is used on either big powerful rivers like the Trent, or fishing in heavy flood..... I think.....

 

[Dicky (Angling Trust PAC)]

For reasons best known to himself, Stef Horak in Coarse Angling Today constantly refers to barbel fishing as 'codding'....

 

[Bunny Bunyan]

Thank you ****y That article was what prompted the query!
I think also that Chav has the right answer also .
Thanks chaps for putting me out of my misery!

As I rarely read any of the magazines and I've never seen it on line, I'd never heard that before. Is there any explanation as to why? Is it just a spectacularly unfunny private jest?

Or is it just a 'made up' word like Lee (Swords) with his magnificent....... Carbelling.

Indeed, but at least that one is used by more than one person!

I got in a lot of trouble when I coined the phrase Chubling - barbel tactics for chub!!!

 

[robthomo]

I think Stef's description refers to a totally unsubtle method of catching barbel, kind of apt I suppose, As for carbelling that's been bandied about for donkeys years so don't blame Lee!

May I enquire why?

 

[robthomo]

But I should add that Creaming is the most dangerous one to admit to, I've only publicly spoken about that once before, never again...

My fault, I was being cheekymg: Is it a good idea to inject humour into a heated forum debate??

Hehe! I think I'm just going normal pubbing now. Cuppla pints pubbing.

I always thought Stef's reference to '"codding" was meant solely in terms of the amount of lead used to hold bottom. Think I remember him saying just keep pieing it on until it holds bottom in the flow even if if meant 3, 4, or even 5oz!
