I thought it was just me that didn't get why he posted the pics.

The bottom one is actually a load of bollox

That's a bit harsh... you need to get out more 👍

The Double Bollox was posted elsewhere as a spoof. I was then contacted by a guy who said he had smashed a local "hard" water using it. I have not had the courage to use it myself!

The top rig was my contribution to an old thread looking at spoof rigs/April Fool's rig. It has been archived but it's on here somewhere. Trouble is a lot of the then posters were banned when they left here to form another Forum. Older members will know the posters I am referring to.

I posted them to try to bring a little lightness to the forum at these awful times.

Keep safe, keep well, keep SANE!!!

I thought you'd be to busy repelling coronaidiots to answer mate 😷 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🪕

Hi Magoo! We've not left the house (and gardens) for over 4 weeks now, mate but as far as I am aware the Covidiots have stayed home this Easter, thank God. In the meantime I am keeping myself busy watching old WHUFC vids on the Tube. We had some great players back in the day, but crap managers!

@ Duane: You can only glean so much information from the 'Net and as so much of it is contradictory you end up dazed and confused (as Robert used to sing). Keith's rig video shows what I consider to be the definitive running rig set up but it will not work as intended unless you are using a dense main line, fluorocarbon of sinking braid. Nobody has explained the reasons why and how this works better than Keith so check out that vid, learn and inwardly digest, as they say.

I fished a fixed heavy lead as a matter of course until I came here in 2006 and read Keith's words of wisdom. I have used his light running lead ever since after seeing for myself just how effective it can be. To say it changed my life is perhaps going a bit far, but it certainly changed my carp fishing life!

I love Robert singing that Ken as well as the slack line running rig

In reply to Post #24
watched Keith Moors vid
Maybe im watching the wrong one because he doesn't explain to much in it
Is it the vid where he caught the 50lb at the of the vid

Just use 17lb x line, it will sink lovely on a slack line, use the smallest lead you can get away with to cast to distance required, a buffer bead to protect the knot, then put your rig on mate, you're over thinking it. You don't need to drop the lead all the time, if you're using the smallest lead you can it won't pick up to much weed the fish on the end will. If you feel there's too much weed use a lead clip and drop the lead. Fish to The situation you're presented with. Fish a nice light bobbin on a slack line with a running rig and indication will be great. Don't ever fish a slack line to snag.

dont fish a slack line to snag?

great advice though thanks

I mean if you decide to fish a run rig on a slack line, don't Ever do it if you are intending to fish up to a snag. The fish will have too much lime to play with and will be dangerous.
