help kryston head-ache

I understand kryston snake bite but what condition should I use the skin? What type of rig should I use?

I am not a stupid carp fisherman I understand most technical stuff and many different rigs...happy to learn more!

I help out in a tackle shop....I read all the magazines and I fish with a writer from b.c (British carp)
who I work with in the tackle shop.

with skin or without in what situation???

I have been told you can use braid for pike instead of traces but it had to be a special one....what one???
