I'm surprised that I am the first to comment, so here goes.
In order to set up a naked chod/heli rig, firstly you must disrobe totally . . . . . right?
Well, it was worth a punt as they say.
Hopefully one of our resident rig gurus can help you . . . . so come on guys, this man needs a proper answer . . . . . . .

OK, I'll try here. First point, a chod rig isn't a chod rig without a bouyant bait being used. I would invariably fish a pop up boilie, mostly on a bait screw, when chod fishing. However, it's not a rig I like much, naked or not, so don't use it much. If and when I do resort to a naked chod, I tend to use a product such as the Taska tungsten or Avid beads.
As for proper helicopter rigs, much depends on the species being targeted. I'll use the stuff shown previously when targeting carp but go much lighter on my occasional attempts for roach and bream. In this instance I'm more likely to raid the Gardner Target range for their reduced size quick change swivels, anti-tangle sleeves and line stops. When fishing this way I'm invariably not fishing hair rigs. Worm, maggot, caster and corn being the likely suspects on appropriately sized hooks.

great thanks m8, that saves me having to set it all up nd jus buying the chod beads nd the tungsten ones
any carp, its a rig mainly for weedy waters

Chod rigs were first used for BIG carp, 25lb plus..
