Because I am new to carp fishing.
I am bit overwhelmed for rig choices .
So I am looking for some ready made rigs and leader .
what would you recommend my local small water where I will be fishing its pretty weedy and says on the rules only drop off or running rigs .
Been looking at the heli safe leaders at Korda and the Ronnie pre tied rigs would something like this suit ?
Appreciate any help .

This Heli safe things should not be on the market, they are anything but safe.to stick to the rules use a simple running setup, along with whatever rig you want to. A multi rig would be a good choice as it works with popups and bottom baits equally well

Why are you having to use ready tied rigs, are your eyes going? If that's not the case, buy the component parts, grasp when and where you need to apply 'x' rig and go from there otherwise you will not learn a great deal as to why or why not you are not catching.

Buy the separate components yourself and search YouTube and dare I say check out the Korda website and especially their Rigs section ( other companies are available )
Bank tackle
Mosquito and others provide the bits you need at a fraction of the cost of the branded ones.

I have bitten the bullet and started to get the individual bits to make my own rigs like others have said if I want to go carp fishing I should learn how to carp fish . I come from a match fishing background so I know the basics when it comes to knots .
Looking forward to learning and more rewarding to catch on my own rig set up .
Thanks guys

I'll add my tuppence worth...
You can easily find how to tie the following rigs on YouTube:
The Multi-Rig would be my choice for Pop Ups.
The Blowout Tube Rig also known as The Claw or Parrot Rig when using bottom baits.
It's easy to get lost with the amount of rigs available and i can see how it can be very confusing to new carp anglers in knowing which one to use.
Stick with the two i have mentioned and you will not go wrong.

You will also find in time that your choice of rigs will boil down to two or three. One for bottom baits, one for pop ups and maybe one for weed. You will find your favourites of these and get confidence in it. Most presentations are only variants of these 👍
I'd steer clear of Korda, I did try their terminal tackle several years back and binned the lot.
Carp R US Gardner ESP and Kryston are cheaper and far better. Plenty of info on the net for rigs, I've tied mine from the age of 13, so over 36 years. Don't over complicate it a basic running rig a knot less knot and hair catches plenty of fish.
Go on the bay and purchase a second hand copy of Julian Cundiffs Rig book. Frank Warwick Geoff Bowers John Baker Rob Maylin Rod Hutchinson all innovators.

I have always tied my own rigs and rarely buy a ready made one. All of the well known manufacturers produce well tied rigs with quality components. Bad business not to. And that includes Korda and Nash as well as others mentioned.

My mistake I've edited my years post, I wouldn't waste money on Korda terminal Tackle hook links and hooks break that made Drennan super Specialist look like snag hooks.
