Great video Chris, I felt your pain with the 2 lost fish due to line fail, best of luck at the islands mate pretty sure your going to do ok on that trip 👌👍🎣
Hi Chris, mate that was painful but not your fault! I'm no zig expert but I use a slightly inturned eye with a twice through the eye 5 turn grinner, and Nash zig/floater line, hope that'll help or at least another option in the think pot! Tight lines fella! 😉
Enjoyed watching this one Chris. Think that’s the peg I’ve fished this year - always a few fish over that way - unlucky on the blank and a bad batch of line… did make me laugh when you threw it in the bin 😂 Tight lines on the next one mate 🎣👍🏼
Christ, i thought my recent 48hr blank was a kick in the plums but to lose 2 fish in a row to line failure is torture mate, i feel your pain, losses aside it was still an enjoyable watch bud 😁👍
Such rotten luck Chris,like you say you can accept a blank if there was simply no action but to have 2 pick ups and then be let down by tackle failure is a bitter pill to swallow.Especially as it was a product from one of the big major tackle companies you would expect good reliability. Onwards and upwards to the next session keep up the great work with the videos 👍
@@MrCarpking71 I suppose it could have been worse and been a 50lb fish or a PB 😬 I also use the Fox zig & floater line but simply because it was the only surface line in the tackle shop at the time.At least i now know to avoid the Korda zig line albeit at a cost of 2 fish to yourself 😖
Unlucky with the two lost fish mate. I use the Korda zig line in 11lb with choddys and it’s yet to let me down. I have been told the fox zig and floater is better by several people however.
Get yourself some pb products clear skater zig and floater line in 17lb, I was having the same problem with the korda zig line parting and the pb stuff I didn't lose a single fish last weekend on the weedy venue I'm currently on and i even had a hook start to open up so the line was up to the job in my opinion
Unlucky mate ive just bought myself that Korda zig line this doesn’t fill me with confidence in it 🤣 looking forward to the island blog looks to be a good one from the amount you caught
Fair play to you Chris pointing out the poor tackle. Korda make some decent stuff but they need to be called out if somethings rubbish, and you doing that with your amount of viewers mate should speak volumes. Nice one. Better luck next time
Great video Chris ! Question to everyone - can you recommend a decent bait boat that won’t break the bank? What are the £100-£150 boats like ?? Any suggestions be appreciated! Tight lines
No way Chris I was fishing sandmartin we met and had a chat on the same zig line and I encountered the same problem I also blamed the line due ta the fact I’ve never been cut of there before gone back to Nash … I that was a difficult week down there that mate with the heart and the fact they not long spawned on the majority of the lakes . Top bloke though keep um coming bud 🤘
@@chipnroll yeah I was using that b4 this with no issues, only reason I bought this line was that the fox line was out of stock when I was in tackle shop. But after this I've actually gone back to the line I used b4 that and that's the rig marole specimon line.
Hello m8 when you tie the Knotless knot do you put another 3 wraps around it as it moves if you don't, that could be the problem or a bad batch of line m8,but I'm like you if some think let's me down I don't use it any more .All the best and tight lines for the season
Hey Chris buddy just finished watching mate can't believe you got let down by a top branded equipment buddy i felt your devastation buddy awesome video as always buddy much love from Birmingham everyone 👍👍👍
Cheers buddy appreciate it. Yeah definitely shouldn't be getting let down like that. It's surprising to hear from so many others that they've been let down is same way by the same line!! Can't be coincidence!??
ive had zigs do this before - its normally when the line rubs back on the eye on the hook where it folds back on the hook to create the loop eye (the little slit)
What a cluster fuck that was.....same swim revenge asap...get the boat overloaded with bait, 3 rods at range and wait. Probably duff advice though. But as always fantastic viewing from a fantastic venue, well done and thank you for a good hour of viewing.
When me and my m8 fished there the bailiff was more interested in his own fishing then anything else . I was fishing over the back of a bar that came out from the bank to my left and just lost a fish , I went round and fed a bit of bait, cast out and after 20 minutes i started to get some funny occurrences so I lent out from my swim to see what was happening only to see someone stood on the bar , it turned out to be the bailiff, i wound in and went to see him and told him that he was actually stood on my line to which he laughed that I wouldn’t be catching any from there . Then later in the day he was seen walking along the length of the rushes in between two swims and started to fish the margin floater fishing. A guy with his son who was in the next swim up started to obviously remonstrate with him and he then hooked a fish and said he would give the rod to the guys son . Both myself and my m8 packed up in disbelief and so did the father and son . Hopefully they have a different bailiff now . The one funny memory I do have was two young lads in their mid teens who were doing a couple of nights for the first time and they bought connect 4 with them and you could here the discs as they fell in there columns into the late hours and not a mobile phone in sight 😀
Not definitely the line, I've had similar issues in the past and now never use the knotless knot to tie hooks to long lengths of mono (I've tried zig/floater line from several manufacturers and have tried different hook patterns). I use a whipping Snell knot and the line doesn't go through the eye at all and almost never have the issue now. Enjoy the vids tight lines
Excellent video again mate,unlucky with the zig line 🥺. Anyways hope you’re well and fine. What braid are you using on your spod rod by the way? Thanks again and see you on the next vlog 👍👍👍💥💥💥👻👻👻
You are bang on, I had the same problem with the line breaking at the knot change my knot to the Palomar knot and I have catch carp up to 32lbs on 10lb zig line definitely the type of knot
Yea the knotless knot is only really good with braided lines Palomar has always been my choice but a lot of carp anglers might not use it if they haven't grown up match fishing
The Palomar knot is the only knot that breaks at a higher breaking strain than the lb line, you will never change my mind that its the best knot to ever use it will never let you down,
Hi Chris that is hard to take for sure, I've had issues with Koda stuff in the past so switched to Fox and not had any problems since. Anyway buddy as they say a bad days fishing is better than a good day at work. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.
@@clivewelch1025 cheers Clive. Yeah deffo a hard blank to take when it's through no fault of ya own. After this session bought the rig marole specimon zig line again. That's never let me down!!
@@MrCarpking71 korda is terrible quality for the price stopped using them when one of there hooks bent in half and lost a big fish always hearing complaints on quality of korda over priced rubbish
@@chipnroll to be fair I use a lot of korda gear and mostly I think it's good stuff, the is the 1st time in a very long time I've had anything from them let me down. Buts enough to not use that particular line again!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey pal great vid gutting bout losing the fish I have used korda line before fucking shit pal I have moved on to nash love it so much better even the lad in my tackle shop said stay away from korda line
Cheers buddy. Yeah very gutting knowing this should of been a 2 fish blog!! It surprising how many other people are now letting me know how shit that line is after similar occurrences!! Yeah I've heard good reviews on the nash line but I've gone back to my old favourite zig line... the rig marole specimon line. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MrCarpking71 sorry to pester you I seen you use the pva nuggets on your hook what do you think to them just bought some never used them before thanks mate
Hey Chris buddy just about to watch buddy much love from Birmingham everyone 👍👍👍
Unlucky Chris.. but still a very enjoyable vbog 👍
Cheers Jon 👍🏼👍🏼
Great vlog Chris.You did the right thing with that korda zig line straight in the bin
Cheers buddy. Yep I think so too!!
Ah man. Unlucky on the 2 lost fish. Can you remember if the name of that swim was called Woods.
I've honestly no idea mate
Hi Chris
Still enjoyable blog despite the Korda line .
Till the next time tight lines & can’t wait until the next blog mate
Cheers buddy. Was editing next blog today. That's a much better video! 😉
Great video mate really enjoy watching your videos im a big believer of spoding (ringing the dinner bell) over a bait boat
Cheers buddy.
Great video Chris, I felt your pain with the 2 lost fish due to line fail, best of luck at the islands mate pretty sure your going to do ok on that trip 👌👍🎣

Good watch mate, better luck next time, tight lines 👍

Great watch as always chris unlucky on zig loss🙈🙈 defo cant take a blank on fish loss 🤔🤔
Cheers buddy. No an outright blank is no takes what so ever!
Unlucky mate ive just bought myself that Korda zig line this doesn’t fill me with confidence in it 🤣 looking forward to the island blog looks to be a good one from the amount you caught

I agree, I use a lot of korda gear and it's all very good stuff. But I deffo won't be using their zig line again!!
Yes Chris that landing pole on the corner of the reeds is so you can fish along the margin... Instead of having your rods far out in the water
Great video Chris ! Question to everyone - can you recommend a decent bait boat that won’t break the bank? What are the £100-£150 boats like ?? Any suggestions be appreciated! Tight lines

@@waynehopkins1040 I doubt korda are watching me to know mate 🤣🤣
@@MrCarpking71 lol maybe not buddy lol but least the words out tho there products are not so gd buddy 👍👍👍
ive had zigs do this before - its normally when the line rubs back on the eye on the hook where it folds back on the hook to create the loop eye (the little slit)
That's not gonna happen tho when a zig aligner is on the hook.
@@MrCarpking71 bit of a odd break what knot did you use? i always use a palomar knot for my zigs and surface fishing never had one fail me
@@chipnroll the good old knotless knot.
Put the line in the bin hard luck better luck next time Chris 👍🍷
I did at the end of the video! Lol
I was the right thing to do, I will be watching next week 😷👍🎣
Unlucky mate!
Chris could that be Mr Pike or are there none in Mallard...?? But all the same a sickener.Neil
Once maybe... not twice in exactly the same place. But yeah gutted!!
What a cluster fuck that was.....same swim revenge asap...get the boat overloaded with bait, 3 rods at range and wait. Probably duff advice though. But as always fantastic viewing from a fantastic venue, well done and thank you for a good hour of viewing.
Cheers buddy. Yeah just nor sure when I'll be back up this way..
The tackle box have a pdf with line tests available to download worth a look
I've already learnt enough from this session to know what i need to know mate!!👍🏼👍🏼
How do you get the d rig kickers over the fluro by the hook eye? I've never been able to
You mean the zig aligners that I was using here?? If so then I use ones from bank tackle, they're a lot softer and easyer to slide over the hook.
There’s a very nice lake in Norwich called cobbleacre has a speci lake with a good head of large carp and cats should give it a try
Byrobills thats not to far from me i might look it up

Could have been a pike biting through those zigs.
If it had only happened once I would of put that as a possibility!! But not twice at exactly the same spot!! 100% line is weak!!
Unlucky on the losses! Shit when tackle let’s you down! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ What knot was you using?
