OK chaps - here it is.
This works paricularly well for big carp in large lakes.
Required: 4 x 13 foot heavy beachcasting rods loaded with 30 lbs mono at least. 4 lbs test curve is about right. In addition you will require 4 sets of heavy duty for and aft rod rests. Multiplying reels are probably the best for this.
Tie a short link - 3 inch paternoster hook length about 12 inches from the end of the line with a hair rig. At the end of the line attach a large treble hook, about a size 2 with a knotless knot. Then attach a substantial swivel to which is tied a length of 24 pole elastic. At the end of the pole elastic you attach another swivel with a short length of about 5 lb bs line. This is tied to a house brick or suitable rock. You can of course attach a large PVA bag full of freebies to this lot.
You row the whole bag of tricks out into the lake with a boat and drop it over the side.
Back on shore you put the rod in the fore and aft rest so that the rod is at right angles to the line going out. Then you wind tightly so that the rod is bent to its test curve. The reel is on anti-reverse with a tight check.
When a carp picks up the bait and bolts, it is hit with a double wammy!!
First from the effect of the elastic, secondly from the rod which springs back as the 5lb line breaks and embeds the treble into the carp.
Two hooks are better than one - Har Har!!
This might be illegal in England but should work well in France or even The USA
You might laugh but this concept has been used in a certain Southern Hemisphere country for several years now.
