I've been trying to get on board with helis as like the fact I can change to a chod easily if need be which suits a lot of my situations. I've been getting plenty of tangles and was thinking of moving over to a stiffer hook link material to see if that helps

Anyone have any information on this lake? Pm if you'd rather

So I've got a set of Aircurves 12ft 3.25 tc and I've been casting to about 120/130 yards with a 3.5oz lead. I've also inherited a set of soniks sk3 xtr's 12ft but 3.5 tc. My question is would they be better for casting a slightly heavier lead and would I gain much distance? I realise the Greys aren't top end rods but are probably better than the soniks so would probably have a better blank. I remember watching a casting film on Youtube and the guy managed slightly further with a 3.5oz lead instead of a 4oz. Curious as to peoples thoughts?

Do you use slack lines, tight lines or in between ?

What are peoples thoughts on fishing chods at range, 100 yards plus? I've got a situation where I could do with using them at that distance due the bottom being, well, covered in chod. I am concerned about line lay and tow in the water. Obvs at shorter range you can just let it sink slowly and settle on the top and present it self with being dragged about or fishing right lines.

cheers guys. I couldnt really see a problem but thought I'd just see what other peoples thoughts are.

Anyone used maggots on a chod mounted above a piece of foam or pop up?

It's it possible to use a chod setup on leadcore with both top and bottom beads and a quick change ring swivel? I am thinking this will allow a quick change not only in chod rigs but you could also change to a bottom bait rig and fish it heli style?

Ive been using Live system for a while and done ok with it, my current water it just isn't working at all so looking at a change. I am sure its not the bait but it maybe that its just not suited to my water........ I am no bait expert though but trying to learn.
