My local canal holds many carp - from a few pounds to 20lbs + (that I know of, but who knows what they go up to).
They are often seen and caught off the far bank shelf either on floaters or on the bottom.
If I were to present a rig on the far bank, am I right in thinking that I would need TWO back leads to ensure the line sits low enough in the boat channel to clear boat traffice?
ie a small FLYING back lead to hold the line down near the far shelf plus a heavy captive back lead to hold the line in the boat channel on the near shelf.
Any tips on how to set this up (or alternatives) would be appreciated.
