Ive gotten away with just using normal mono, checked it in the edge and it all appeared to stick to the deck.

Chatted to a lad who only uses naked chods and I asked him what line he was on and it was just the standard Thinking Anglers mono; he was getting a few bites from a tricky-ish water

3 short lengths of tungsten tubing above top bead works fine. I use them at 2 inches long,they slide up the line during the cast, I put a pva tape stop knot at some point above tubing just to stop them separating to far but that's a personal choice.

Fluro is best. I used X-line.

Mono as the mainline for a naked chod was how I read it....

I'm sure nylon will be fine if you put a few blobs of putty up above the top bead .. that will help sink the line ...

Yep, thats the one but i used rig tubing as i dont use lead core. Seemed to work for me so was happy with the tubing.

Used it in France and caught a few over a slightly weedy patch so was happy with the results. Cant remember the bead moving down the tubing to be honest. Need to set it up again as new lake has low lying weed in places.

It was Elliot Gray as mentioned in another post but i dont use lead core so used tubing instead. Seemed to work fine.

How did you get on with it Paul?? Did the bead on top travel down the tubing on a hooked fish ok??

You haven't got a link for that YouTube video have you.

I saw Luke Stevenson fishing naked chods but with 6-7 inches of leadcore between the lead and bottom bead .
