Ledger rigs

Hi,

I am reasonable new to Carp fishing and am after the correct way to rig up, what best to use etc,

Currently i am using a Hair and a ledger but what is best to keep the ledger where i want it, rubber stops?

Cheers

Well your rig will have the hair, hook and then a swivel at the other end. If you are using inline leads (the line goes through the lead) then you should be able to put either the swivel eye or almost whole swivel up inside the lead, SEE HERE. This is called semi fixed because it will still give the bolt effect (I.e. fish picks up bait, is pricked by the hook, tries to move away ("bolt") or shake its head and picks up the lead which pulls the hook deeper into the lip), but it also means that if the line snaps it won't be enough to hold the lead on the swivel should it get snagged up. The lead would simply pull out and the fish won't get tethered to anything. Other than that there are a lot of different ledger techniques that you should spend some time researching. There are articles on this site and all over the internet explaining them, from safety clips to free running. The most important thing is that you are fishing a safe rig that isn't going to bring any harm to the fish, well thats the idea anyway.

Thats great, thanks for your info mate.
