Catch Carp With Chods! Rob Burgess Shows You How
Winter carp fishing can be a tricky affair, where the bottom is often covered in leaf litter, dying weed and debris. Couple that with deep silt, as Rob Burgess was faced with in this video and… well, you could struggle to present a bait! That is until you adopt Rob’s super easy Chod Rig tactics which he uses to overcome a potentially tricky situation! Not only does he catch a carp for the camera, but he also reveals everything you need to know when it comes to Chod Rigs; from hooks to baits, Rob explains all in this must-watch, easy-to-follow guide to fishing with Chod Rigs!

'Rigs… A Load Of Old B******s!’
“If there are a thousand things which are important to me in carp fishing, then rigs come around number 937 on that list; there is simply too much crap talked about them,” boldly states carp fishing legend, Ian Chillcott. “I have only ever found one style of fishing Hair Rigs, and that came from Lenny Middleton in 1980. Everything ‘invented’ since, is just an adaptation of the original. It was the rig that I would use, and I am sure, very effectively too." In this video, Chilly goes into depth about the fundamentals of a carp rig and why you shouldn’t be led by fashions, as he wonderfully sums up… “There is no denying that the mechanics of the Hair Rig should never have to be as complicated as some would have you believe.”

Guide To Zig Rigs
Catching a carp from the 62-acre Carp Society Horseshoe Lake at the end of November could seem pretty daunting, especially when the lake’s been fishing poorly. Despite this, Ches Boughen was able to catch a couple of carp for the camera using Zig Rigs - in fact, he was the only carp angler on the lake to catch during our stay! In this short film, Ches shows how he went about his session, from picking the swim to the rigs and methods he employed. Watch the video now.

Tom Maker: Winter Day Sessions
If you look on any social media site, you’ll be very aware that Tom Maker is having a phenomenal year (head to page 72 for all the stats and a step-by-step guide to how he ties his Fluorocarbon D-Rig). Because of this, we just had to hook up with him for a simple day session at the fabulous Brasenose 2 on the Linear Fisheries complex to capture exactly what his secrets are… ‘Golden bollocks’ is our conclusion after a new lake record slipped into the net! Tom covers everything from his session prep to wafter rigs and how making small hookbait changes can result in big outcomes (read: in Tom’s case, a 46lb+ mirror in his landing net!).
