Just getting back into fishing after 25 years & you two are the best for advice on how to set up in different ways. Excellent tutorial. Clear & precise. Can’t wait to test these. Thanks
I used to think catching a carp was near impossible, I thought you had to have tonnes of expensive gear, and the biggest stocked lake to even get near it, but these guys proved you don’t need much at all, thanks for all the videos guys genuinely very motivational. I’m now watching your old videos because I’ve seen them all 😒
Thank you for the info. I just ordered some carp UK style tackle. This makes easier to put the rig together. Here in the US the stores near me dont carry tackle like this.
Great vids guys, I have literally started fishing three weeks ago and caught a 9lb 12oz carp second time out with the help of your method feeder vid, many thanks.
The way your explaining these videos seem a lot clearer and easy to understand than other peoples videos. Well done guys your doing great and are a huge success!!🎣😎
an easier method for me to use personally, I call the poor mans hair rig. Here in America we don't have most of this specialized tackle for carp at our local stores, so I tie a Palomar knot around my hook, feed the tag end through the eye again so there is about an inch going past the hook. then I attach a small split shot to the tag end and press some bread around it. after that I wrap the tag end with the bread around the hook one time to keep it in place as it would in a hair rig. most carp here have never seen a hair rig and my carp get hooked perfectly every time. thanks for your videos they helped me learn and gave me ideas for fishing my local reservoirs.
Wow. I have just started fishing about 3 months ago. This video has helped me a lot. Although the price of things. Well done to this channel. Keep up this clear, fantastic work! 🎉🎉
o my god so simple ....thanks a lot bro i just started fishing started float fishing but now i wanna go for something bigger this helped me a lot its so simple....keep it up bro thanks again
Your videos are brilliant! Explained clearly and in detail and what equipment is needed ! A godsend to a new angler like myself I watch all your videos keep doing what your doing, your passion for fishing shines thru your tutorials in the quality and detail that u provide 😊 well done buddy and thank u 😊
Guys, good job! It’s nice that you also have a tutorial channel but a awesome carp fishing channel. Everything in this video was so clear and I understood every word even tho Iam still quite young! Amazing video, hope to see more❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for these vids very much appreciated lads I've just got back into fishing and it was your main channel that has inspired me congrats again on the new channel all the best luck for the future kutgw.👍🏻😁
We use none of this rubbish in Australia corn or worm on a unweigheted hook gets scoffed by carp . Then you throw the carp down a wombat hole because carp are a pest
I watch your videos and it’s so helpful and simple but then I watch other videos and people have like all this tube stuff and screws etc and I don’t understand the need for all that stuff when you can just do it like this it’s like people love to make life difficult 😂 thanks for the help my birthday was yesterday so got a lot of new gear and going to try it out with this method hopefully I break my pb as it is only a 10lb 4oz common 😂
Used this set up all my life and never let me down. I see so many rigs these days, are they really better? not a big fan of drop of leads but everywhere wants it now.
Great video and clearly explained. No need to over complicate something that can he done so simply. One tutorial I'd like to see is making a drop shot rig. Tried it last year for the first time. Went 3 times & had nothing. Bit now it's starting to get colder I was going to start trying again. Would be great to have a few tips for this winter going out.
Great video really clear and could see everything really well which is an issue with some videos. Also aren't you supposed to strip back enough braid coating so when you tie the knotless know you have a few cm of play to aid hooking.
We've found leaving the end section supple to not really improve the chances of hooking a fish, in fact the angle the line comes out of a wide gape hook with the material still coated is quite good and the hook flips over better. I'm sure both will work though, it's just our preference these days to have it coated. :)
Excellent video and very well delivered for a newbie to understand. Thanks a lot and I am looking forward to the other videos that I have added to my playlist.
Awesome new channel gents! Glad you guys are willing to share your knowledge with us newbies! Do you guys prefer the lead clip system over an inline lead?
We tend to use lead clips for long range fishing or when we could be fishing different lakebeds in one session. When we know a lake well and are sure the bottom is clean and firm, we can just fish inlines :)
A leadclip is versatile and you can switch leads as you wish and by using a distance lead on a lead clip you can cast further, but we also like inlines to avoid dropping lead if we are hauling loads of carp for example. It's kinda personal preference.
Excellent video and great production values as always, congratulations on the new channel, you both have so much to offer it makes sense to do this. 😉 Quick question I noticed that at the end of the video you show these rigs with an inline lead setup, is that your preferred method? Can you explain in a video when best to use what lead setups with what rigs. Thanks guys keep up the fantastic work 👍
Hi Alex, from my experience with rigs such as this you can fish it with both a lead clip and in line lead system. I would usually make this choice based on the lake/river bed I am fishing on. If there are many snags then I would choose a lead clip system that allows me to drop the lead if the fish runs into weeds or other snags. I use a running rig if fishing on gravel/light silt bottoms and don't feel it necessary to drop my lead. Hope this helps. Not an expert and there's plenty of other people out there to help you out :)
Great video! I have just bought some Korda tackle online! I usually float fish but am going to a big specimen lake at the weekend full of carp and want to try this! To save time I have bought a a few pre done Korda rigs! Size 6 and 8. And then purchased the slow sinking fake corn! Along with a selection of swivel lead weights ranging from 1.5oz to 3.5oz and will use this same method! Only Issue is I don’t currently have a bite alarm! I know you guys tend to use these in your videos and I will get one soon! But for this weekend as I am not float fishing I take it this will still work and I will just see the road tip bend and feel the pull?
Hey mate, yeah as your getting into it, you could put a carp rig out on one rod, whilst doing your float fishing on the other rod. You could just slacken off the clutch and pick it up if it screams off, or if the line falls slack. A bite alarm is nice if your fishing multiple rods, or overnight fishing but in the day you can just watch the line or rod tip! :)
Can I just ask (as someone returning to fishing) that the coated braid hook length is approx 2lbs lighter than you main line? Fishing has got a lot more technical since I last fished 25yrs ago but would love to try this method👍
Mainly a hardcore river piker me but when close season comes Im thinking of carping. I understand this video fully its just the pop up bit what do you mean to make a break in the line where the shot goes
Hi guys great vids, after being out of carp fishing for a number of years this was a good refresher, can you do a video on the lead end I used to have a running lead on the mainline with a split shot to stop it at the rig end, now a lot of people use lead clips and fixed leads why????? Surely less resistance or the running lead was best???????
Love your videos as a noobie myself! First time I’ve ever been fishing and used similar rig unsure which lol…I caught 11 pound leather. With this rig could you leave the lead runner a little more loose so the lead can come off incase if snags ??
Great vid lads, what weight leads would you use for short to medium range(20-30meters) casting on a clear(snagless) lake. Would a 2oz do the job? And should i fish it inline or clip on? Cheers
Hi nice video! I'm trying to find a braided line like yours but no luck. Can you share more details on what should I be searching for or recommend some? Thanks!
Quick question, what's the advantages of the lead system he showed here vs just attaching your rig to your main line using a simple swivel attached to both ends with a half blood knot?
The swivel size depends what setup you will be using. Check the size of your leadclip or inline lead and find a swivel which fits snugly inside. Size 8 Korda swivels fit into their inline leads and lead clips perfectly :)
Our local fishing pool does not allow a fixed weight on the line. The line should have the weight attached before the rig on a swivel so that the line can pay out when the fish bites and takes the rig and bait. I think they do it to try and stop you sinking the rig and bait to the bottom. You then have to be very accurate to get only a small amount of float in the bait.
Try the wafter without a shot .. sit it in a shallow part near your swim and see how it reacts for yourself ?. If it's to much then attach the relevant split shot ? 😊
Morning! Just to pass on a opinion from a beginner, I bought all this setup apart from the make of hook, but that 18lb braid you recommended had no chance of being blood knotted to my hook as the eyelet was way too small. Something a regular fisherman would know but not a newbie! There are so many choices of carp hook out there it's too confusing!
Can u do a gear set up video on any channel so kids like us know what we need for carp fishing cause I take a lot and know what rods and everything you use plz tight line wet nets
@@fishingtutorials yeh dude a vid like that would help me a lot coz im new to carp fishing and dont really know if im taking too much or not enough and what is essential for carp fishing
Hi carl and alex, tell me what im doing wrong please my 20lb coated braid wont go through the eye twice 😂🙈 when i try and push it back through it just dosent seem big enough the eye

Recently got back into fishing after a 7 year break and been watching your vids to learn the basics again thank you
I have caught my first carp (16lb) on that rig today, thank you for the inspiration
Simple and easy to follow explanation with a clear demonstration of the technique.
Something that other channels lack.
Just getting back into fishing after 25 years & you two are the best for advice on how to set up in different ways. Excellent tutorial. Clear & precise. Can’t wait to test these. Thanks
Great to hear! Good luck with your fishing and thanks so much for watching!
You guys explain everything so clearly and so effectively, thank you so much for the time you take to make these videos!

Shit when I see what they are using it looks like a whole lot of stuff to me. You don't even need that much stuff, but it does look nice.
Thank you for the info. I just ordered some carp UK style tackle. This makes easier to put the rig together. Here in the US the stores near me dont carry tackle like this.
Good luck! :)
Great vids guys, I have literally started fishing three weeks ago and caught a 9lb 12oz carp second time out with the help of your method feeder vid, many thanks.
I over complicated for yesrs. Went back to basics from this channel and now back liking the fishing
The way your explaining these videos seem a lot clearer and easy to understand than other peoples videos. Well done guys your doing great and are a huge success!!🎣😎
Normally a coarse/match style angler but slowly coming over to the carp scene.. finally an easy rig to follow!
That was _very_ well explained. You're very clear, you go slow, but you're not full of fluff and you get to the point. You did a great job. Thank you!
No worries dude! :)
No cap actually works... Two stunning Carp and they are my first ones
As a beginner looking to make sense of a carp rig by far the most simple and easy to understand tutorial thank you 🙏🏻
Cheers man, going carp fishing tomorrow and this made setting up the rig less daunting!
an easier method for me to use personally, I call the poor mans hair rig. Here in America we don't have most of this specialized tackle for carp at our local stores, so I tie a Palomar knot around my hook, feed the tag end through the eye again so there is about an inch going past the hook. then I attach a small split shot to the tag end and press some bread around it. after that I wrap the tag end with the bread around the hook one time to keep it in place as it would in a hair rig. most carp here have never seen a hair rig and my carp get hooked perfectly every time. thanks for your videos they helped me learn and gave me ideas for fishing my local reservoirs.
I hope you will show us how to make bait like pellet , boillee etc
Really great tutorial helped me start off carping
Guys, loving these videos, that was so clear and well explained, tight lines and thank you :)
Thanks Stuart!
Thanks for this I’ve always been quite anxious trying new things as I done have anyone teach me...I’ve had a go and it works perfectly
Dude. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to help me catch a carp
I've just tied this rig, very easy, can't wait to give it a try. Thanks
Wow. I have just started fishing about 3 months ago. This video has helped me a lot. Although the price of things. Well done to this channel. Keep up this clear, fantastic work! 🎉🎉
Great to hear that! :) Thanks mate!
Cheers Alex for the knot tying skills no more buying expensive ready made rigs I’ve had a 30lb common and I couldn’t even tie simple rig lol

Than you so mutch i lerned how to tiie a carp rig tomorow im going for mi firt time to fish carp 🐟🐟🐟
Great video graham broughton
Mainly a hardcore river piker me but when close season comes Im thinking of carping. I understand this video fully its just the pop up bit what do you mean to make a break in the line where the shot goes
You guys should do a hand line challenge great video
Bro how long for fish to take a bait.....like in our river we haven't fish the carp like your idea..... We have a carp more than 30/40 pound in weight
Hi , why you use the coated braid?What are the advantages?
Tiago Alves less tangles pushes rig away from lead when it hits the bottom
Hi guys great vids, after being out of carp fishing for a number of years this was a good refresher, can you do a video on the lead end I used to have a running lead on the mainline with a split shot to stop it at the rig end, now a lot of people use lead clips and fixed leads why?????

Can you do aa tutorial about fishing very weedy lakes best rigs/ approach etc. Would be really appreciated. Thanks
Hey really good video only one little thing most people are using rig putty for pop up instead of these small weights 😉.

Can lead clip be replaced with just lead on a swivel or inline lead?
Yep, an inline lead works good too! :)
NIce and simple. Thanks. How heavy is the small lead ball you use for the pop up rig?
Our local fishing pool does not allow a fixed weight on the line.

Try the wafter without a shot .. sit it in a shallow part near your swim and see how it reacts for yourself ?. If it's to much then attach the relevant split shot ? 😊
I always drop the setup in a shallow margin near me and see what needs to be done from there .

You can use it with a pop-up
corn on hook works too
Can u do this with regular braid and not the coated stuff?
Have you ever faced any tangle problems using this rig?
Why don't you use anti tangle sleeves with quick change swivels?
