I managed to get myself banned for a month from my club lake for using a naked chod this morning. The bailiffs that banned me said we can only use chods with tubing to protect the fish no leadcore or naked is allowed. I've never used a chod with tungsten tubing before how do you go about setting it up so it's safe. I'm going need to use around 3ft of tubing.

I have trouble threading 18inchs of tubing let alone 3 ft...
I have the same issue with my club water. Leaders are band and we are required to use tubing at all times when fishing on the bottom. So effectively ruling out Chods...
The only way I've thought to get round it. And bearing in mind I haven't tried it. Is to use a short length of tubing ( compling with club rules ) down by the lead with a large bore bead sitting on top of the tubing for the chod section to sit on. I've seen simular rigs with a short section of leadcore. What in theory should happen is that when playing the fish the bead and chod section will slide down to the lead the same as when using any other version of the rig.. That's the theory anyway..

Korda do a heli tubing kit but it wont be long enough for the top bead, it will just pull the chod rig down into the weed. It was a bit harsh banning me though, a warning would have sufficed. They took my key and membership card off me and I was escorted off the lake. I might try and knock something up to try and satisfy them but by the sounds of it, it's going to be a faff.

Realistically you won't be able to use Chods running on tubing. Does the club state Chod rigs are banned? What about Zigs? Can't use tubing with those.. in theory you can. But it will serve no purpose.
Does seem a bit harsh banning you. Especially being frog marched of the venue aswell.
At least it was only a month.. appeal it..

So a basic running lead set up, which is as safe as it gets is banned? Really? Where do these idiots dream this stuff up...
The naked chod, along with a basic running lead is about the safest rigs that you can possibly use.
That's absolutely horrific, but a glimpse into the way carp fishing is heading more and more. Clueless joeys with a little bit of power acting like the gestapo. They have banned you at the very best time of year.... You will be allowed back just as it closes for spawning. I feel very bad for you. All that you mention, for using pretty much the very safest rigs that you possibly could for their fish.
Normally this sort of caper is reserved exclusively for people catching far to many. You been hauling?

I've not used it myself, but I would be looking at that steel cored tubing, is it Rigmarole, in your situation. I'm pretty sure that it could be used as a leadcore replacement for a chod.
I would add that I think you've got away lightly with a months ban. When you join a water you know the rules and if you choose to break them, no matter how daft they seem to you, then you can expect nothing less than being kicked off.
Anyway I'm sure you'll get this situation sussed and be able to enjoy the rest of your season.

It's well annoying, My spot was just getting going I've had 3 fish in 3 trips off of it using chods including a stunning 25 lb mirror yesterday morning before I got kicked off. They even said we need tubing if we are going to be surface fishing. The rules state tubing must be used but I did not think that was with chods. There are no warnings given with this lot it's an instant ban, the bailiff said he hates having to kick me off but he has no choice, surely a warning would have been OK for a first offence. He said you have tubing to protect the fish when playing it but not one piece of damage was done to any of the 3 fish I've caught over the last 3 weeks. I'm lucky I have another club to fish otherwise I'd be stuffed for the next month.

If he worked for Nash though, it would be fine I'd guess wouldn't it.
He got off lightly did he??? Spoken like a true new age lake owner with a bit of control over others. Even when it's absolute crackpot lunacy he deserves it does he? Well done you. Glad that I would never fish somewhere like your lake. How comical that in your rush to berate him for his interpretation of the rules... You're own holier than tho suggestion to him would see him (or yourself) banned as well.

There is your answer. 3 fish in 3 trips and the one with a bit of power does not like it. The stunner you had upset him.
People like this should not be in control of lakes.
It's similar to a traffic warden.
If you were putting the fish in danger, I could understand. Surface fishing with tubing? Hahahaha. Using tubing on a chod makes it far more dangerous than naked. If that tubing comes detached from the lead end it's never passing over the top bead of the chod. The ring swivel no matter how large is getting tangled behind that tubing.... Leading to a tethered/dead carp.
Absolute lunacy. Tubing when surface fishing, I've never heard such crackpot ideas in my life.
It's got to be about you catching.

Tubing when Surface fishing.. they winding you up...
Someone on the committee got shares in a plastics moulding company or something...
There be banning you for using it when float fishing for Silvers next..
I see from your profile your from the kent area Glen. Think I no what club your a member of. Especially when you said the Rigmarole wired tubing is banned aswell. Apparently the wire in it can unravel leading to tethered fish.. This same club at one point also banned Unhooking mats and umbrellas..

It's their rules at the end of day so no choice really, I don't surface fish there anyway far too many ducks and seagulls. I'll knock the chods on the head when I'm back on there and try and get another spot going before they start spawning. I don't think I'll be rejoining next year , I've caught most of the fish from there over the years anyway, there is just one that I really want to get before I leave.

I use ronnies for 99 percent of my fishing there and they work well. I only had a chod on one rod to fish a weedy corner and had a bead set around 3 feet. I'll give it a try but not too confident it will be presented. I never thought id ever get banned using a naked chod though, it's hardly a death rig.
