<u> STATIC CHUBBING </u>
This is where we can decipher bolt rigs and bite alarms from the more intimate form of running leads and freelining.
I am now begrudgingly dragging myself into the 21st century by saying that there is nothing wrong in bolt rigging and using bite alarms for chub or barbel, it just isn?t for me; well, not for most of the time anyhow. Bolt type rigs are used in conjunction with short hooklinks of about six inches; please correct me if I am wrong. These types of rigs would be used more on the bigger rivers like the Trent or Ribble, where bites could be at a minimum.
<u> INTIMATE CHUBBING </u>
This is the kind of chubbing that I link myself to. Free running leads, or freelining, which I use on smaller rivers like the Dane or Dove.
Okay, but bites might still be at a minimum, so the two forms can be used, static and intimate.
If you were upstream ledgering would you use a short, or a long hooklink and why?
