Nice opinions but I have NEVER had 1 issue with this rig and I have been using it for over 20yrs........

Started off paternoster style and still my favourite method today, more direct contact with the fish for me. Played around with lead clips and I find they have far too much movement before a fish hits the lead, beep, beep

Run rigs, nothing but tangles for me, sat behind a rod for hours on end you want 100% confidence that you bait is presented correctly. Saying that when I used running rigs I was mainly using long braid hooklinks and had far too many tangles for my liking, thanks, but no thanks,

I tried some of the Korum run rigs recently on my Barbel rods, great big dirty things, removed!

Fox used to make the carp safety beads I think they were? so close but so far for me, too soft but the idea was there, under a certain amount of pressure the ring would pop off the sleeve leaving quite a large ring for the line to run through, but like a semi fixed run rig set up
