Its a paternoster.... first used centurys ago on long lines for sea fish.
Call it what you will, silt rig, chod rig it's to all intents and purposes a paternoster with or without the boom.
End of....... unless you want to be pernickety.
with or without the boom

I think you will find it was Leslie P Thompson who 'invented' this and published it in his book ' Fishing In New England'. His article on the use of sweetcorn as bait [used in the 30's] and the development of what we now call the spod was published in the Fishing Gazette on 30th March 1946.
There is very little new to fishing if one looks deep enough.

Indeed,
However the mechanics of the "chod" rig is in the link, now that is very different!!!

What if it was one of those new fangled John Roberts booms? Does that still count?
I don't see how it is. The basic principle is a paternoster, one of the oldest ways of rigging a hook known to man.
The term "chod" was probably created by some of the young carp fishing idiots, wanting to be different, when in reality the paternoster rig goes back hundreds of years to times before Walton.
Indeed, as I stated.Oh really.
In Graham Marsden and and Count Wintle's Carp fishing book the chod rig is not shown as a fixed paternoster. The lead is tied to the end of the mainline and the short hook link is tied to a swivel that is free to slide up and down the mainline.
How is the fish hooked if it swims towards your rod and slides the hook link along the mainline?
'ello Matt, to answer your question rather than just scoff, a rubber float stop or bead is set at a preferred distance from the weight, the link slides up to it and that's what the fish hooks itself against.In Graham Marsden and and Count Wintle's Carp fishing book the chod rig is not shown as a fixed paternoster.

Didn't say Matt was doing the scoffing, maybe you should read the post properly, I'm so glad you don't use big words or I'd be proper f***** like.Where is Matt scoffing? I can't see him scoffing.
Rod Rest if you read his post he was simply asking a question.
Maybe the picture or diagram was overlooked in the rush to get the book out.
Maybe you should read post more slowly, like the other day when you thought I was talking about Graham our ex ed.
