I'm newish to carp fishing
And with all this time on my hands at present, i thought i would educate myself in the art of carping
Mostly on Utube i must add.
I saw a video on the running lead set up. And i thought that's a good set up i'm going to use that
I liked the running set up using the lead clip
Then i saw a thread on here, about the the lead clip version and the online lead version
Both are a bit dangerous if the lake is not mostly weed free
I like the idea of the fish picking up the bait and feeling no resistance
I would just like to know is there a safe version of this set up
Cos in my eyes both are a bit dangerous if you need to drop the lead
Like i said though, i'm a beginner at carping and i might be seeing this right

Enterprise run rings are the best I've found.
Google/YouTube search Keith moors running rig
There's probably about 10,000,000 posts on here to trawl through if you have time, which none of us are short of right now!

So what are the advantages of a running lead rig
Should the lead be fixed to start with,or should the lead be completely free running as Keith Moor
I thought i had it sussed, i'm not sure now lol

Theoretically. improved indication, removes the fishes ability to ‘throw' the hook, no resistance when the bait is picked up, large bore bead increases safety.... that's not to say it's a presentation for all situations.
Those lead clip running rigs are pants in my opinion, but each to their own

The biggest advantage is hardly anyone else uses it.

So it's all about having a good run ring
if the lead gets caught up,you want the run ring to eject the lead when your winding in so it frees the line up
What makes the run ring better then the lead clip
I'm a beginner im just trying to understand all this lol
