yes inline lead every time much easier to load the bag and much neater, plus an inline works very well with a short supple hooklink
You can set up an inline to work semi fixed so once the fish shakes his head it becomes a running rig, you can also set up to work drop off style.

I use an inline based on a 1 and 3/4 oz NGT lead with a 65mm stem. I form a loop inside on either end to connect to the QC swivel and then its loop to loop at the top 👍
I've been tweaking it a while. Shown here but I can't link so you will need to copy this into your browser (perfectly safe)

They look nice and tidy. Can you work out what rig Kev Hewitt is using in that video or article. He doesn't actually talk about how he ties the corn on to the rig. He only talks about the lead setup.
I think it's just a simple knotless knot rig but I'm really not sure as I've only tied Ronnies before. Who better to ask than a RigDemon

I only use a knotless knot on a 5" piece of soft hooklink, with a small shot underneath a wafter just to pin it down.
Not let me down yet 👍

Where do you get your mixed pellets from? Doesn't look like aller aqua does any.

What do you guys use in your PVA bags? Where do you get your mixed micro pellets from?

Haven't fished bags for a while but when I did I'd use mainline pva pellet mix, bit pricey but I had good results with it

Best advice I could give you is use a combination of crushed boilie, some pellet, 1 or 2 boilies and some liquid additive injected in to your bag, anything that is good quality should work but IMO the liquid is a big edge.

What liquid specifically have you used that doesn't dissolve the PVA bag?

Most liquids these days are PVA friendly, so just check before you buy.
I only use two manufacturers, CC Moore and A.S Baits and both do PVA friendly liquids.

Do you use leadcore leader?

Yes with the lead core removed.

Probably explained a bit easier. 45lb lead core with the inner removed. It starts at just under 6 inches and the final length is 4.5/5" inches. The loops are spliced in as usual but the ends are blobbed with a lighter so they dont pop back through opening up the loop.
This then fits perfectly into the in line and 65mm stem with just the loop popping out of the top - see below
Everything pulls through the stem if there's a problem and the swivel at the base is only partially fixed.
Yes you can buy the ready made stems, but I've never liked them with the metal loop inside, typically a cheap mastic type stem which falls apart and there's never any QC swivels on them. Much prefer to make my own.

Do you not like using premade leadfree leadcore like Gardner camflex? I've never used an inline lead before only a running rig and heli lead. I thought the idea of inline lead was that they can run up and down the line?
Is the inline lead fixed in this rig?
