I'm going to use the running lead system with slack line and light lead
I'm going to do it the Keith Moors way
He told me he doesn't use any tubing on the line
I'm basically a beginner to carping well ish anyway
Every where i read use tubing because it protects the fish
I just wondered what other people thought about using or not using tubing
Is tubing usable when fishing slack lines

Hi
I've been using running rigs almost exclusively for the past few years. My preferred set up from rig upwards is
Rig with loop attachment attached to;
Quick change swivel rammed into an Osprey tulip bead (on offer on tackle box)
30-45cm of Korda tungsten tubing, rammed inside the tulip bead
Enterprise snag safe run ring kit on the lighter clips
Personally, Always use tubing for fish protection where possible, and I know it will pin the last foot or so to the deck. Having the tubing rammed into the tulip bead means it won't slide up, unlike when fishing lead clips, it often comes up if the lead drops out.
Hope this helps.

Do you use a light lead and slack line
Keith Moors swears by it, and he's caught 50 50lb carp

Keith swears by it because of safety reasons clearly.
To protect the fish in his lake in case of a line breakage.
But it's pretty clear his running rig set-up works a treat.

No I meant he swears by using the running lead with slack line and a light lead.
He doesn't use any tubing. He says he's never damaged or lifted any carps scales

A lot of people use a heavy lead with the running lead set up
Keith reckons a heavy head is just a hindrance. He says the lead is only needed to help you cast out. His way of thinking is a leads not needed to help make a carp take the hook.

Do you think I shouldn't use any tubing then
So should I use main line right up to the hook link.

Personaly i wouldn't use tubing when using a running rig, same as Keith.
I would use a big diameter fluocarbon mainline.

I don't use tubbing but I only fish in the edge

Keith Moors catches fish, that much is obvious, on his tubeless light running lead approach.
I use a running lead as much as I can, either with or without tubing. Tubing if the bottom is a little bit snaggy or rocky, if it is clear I go naked.
The only difference is I prefer a heavier lead, around 3-3.5oz

Keith moors way of thinking is a heavy lead only helps the carp.
He says when playing the carp the lead is bouncing about to much
He also says with a heavy lead the line comes off the bottom at strange angles when the bait is taken
Wheras with a light lead the lead is more likely to lift off the bottom when the bait is taken
Keeping the line lay more natural

I fish it the same way as Keith, as do many others.
It's not relying on the lead to drive the hook home, just heavy line and a tight set drag.
The lead is purely to get a rig to the fish.
You're overthinking possibly the simplest method of angling, just take the advice (word for word if I was you) and worry about finding carp

I can't wait to try this method out
