Carp Fishing – Guru Micro Lead Clips

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

The Guru Micro Lead Clips provide a fish safe anti tangle option for the Match/Pleasure angler thats suitable for fishing with either leads or feeders. The design of Guru Micro Lead Clip  ensures that your lead or feeder can be released should it become snagged. 

Guru_Micro_Lead_Clip1

Guru Micro Lead Clips

The leads I used for the purpose of this demonstration were the Guru Square Leads.

Step 1.

Thread your mainline through the tail rubber and then the lead clip.

Guru_Micro_Lead_Clip3

Step 2.

Double over the tag end of your mainline and pass the loop through the eye of the size 11 swivel provided.

Guru_Micro_Lead_Clip4

Step 3.

Now tie an overhand knot with the doubled over section of your mainline but don’t tighten it yet.

Guru_Micro_Lead_Clip5

Step 4.

Pass the swivel through the loop created by the overhand knot.

Guru_Micro_Lead_Clip6

Step 5.

Now moisten the knot and gently tighten it down.

Guru_Micro_Lead_Clip7

Step 6.

Pull the lead clip down over the swivel until you hear it click into the clip.

Guru_Micro_Lead_Clip8

Step 7.

Now clip your lead/feeder on and slide the tail rubber over the lead clip so the angled edge sits the right way on the clip.

Guru_Micro_Lead_Clip

All you need to do now is tie on your rig and your ready to cast out. But before doing so make sure the clip is working correctly and the lead will discharge easily. You are now fishing a carp safe set up.

Frozen In

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

I’m sure this weather is driving all you fisherman out there mad, I know that it’s driving me round the twist. A good use of time in these circumstances is to sort your kit out ready for the coming thaw. Go through all your carryalls and rucksacks and give them a good spring clean. Clean your rods and reels, if your reels need a service now is the ideal time to get them done. Also sort through your tackle box and top up on anything you’re short of. Now is also a good time to tie up lots of spare rigs in the warmth of your living room rather than when your hands are cold and chapped on the bank. Roll on the thaw !!!!

How To – Solar Quick Change PVA System

Friday, January 15th, 2010

The Solar Quick Change PVA Bag System is ideal for anglers who use PVA bags for the majority of their angling. The system will ensure you don’t lose the bag on the cast while improving casting distance and accuracy. The system is designed to be anti tangle and works with any inline lead.

For the purpose of this demonstration I used a Korda Flat Pear Inline Lead, Solar Contour Super Supple Rig Tubing and Korda Size 8 Ring Swivels  was used between the helicopter beads for the rig to be attached to.

Solar_PVA_System1

Step 1.

Thread your mainline through your desired length of the Solar rig tubing.

Solar_PVA_System2

Step 2.

Now thread 1 of the beads provided with the Solar PVA System onto the rig tubing followed by the Korda Ring Swivel followed by another bead. If you’re using mainline straight through there is silicone tubing provided for the beads to the grip. If you’re using leadcore then please ensure all beads can be pulled free of the leader to ensure the lead will be lost in the event of your line breaking. Tie or loop your hooklink to the ring swivel.

Solar_PVA_System3

Step 3.

Now thread on one of the sleeves provided and push the tubing securely inside.

Solar_PVA_System5

Step 4.

Then gently push the insert out of your choosen inline……

Solar_PVA_System4

…..and thread it onto your mainline.

Solar_PVA_System6

Step 5.

Tie a Figure Of Eight Loop Knot  in the end of your mainline and attach the Solar quick change PVA bag clip like so.

Solar_PVA_System8

Step 6.

Now pull the lead over the clip followed by the sleeve and rig tubing. The finished setup should look like this.

Solar_PVA_System

All you have to do to attach a PVA bag is to pull the clip out of the bottom of the lead and hook a PVA bag on before pulling the clip back inside the lead. Then just thread the hook through the mesh of the bag and your ready to cast out.

Solar_PVA_System9

Solar_PVA_System10

Solar_PVA_System11

Solar_PVA_System12

Solar_PVA_System13

This set up is particularly well suited to adding freebies with the Mag Aligner Rig and really comes into it’s own during the winter months.

Give it a go.

In this Carp Catchers Blog we have the new Nash Indulgence Air-Lite Bedchairs. The Nash Indulgence Air-Lite Bedchair has shorter legs and a lower profile than the standard Indulgence bedchairs so that it can fit right at the back of a brolly. It is also ultra lightweight giving the mobile angler the ideal comfort bedchair. The Air-lite has a mesh mattress for those muggy summer nights and a detachable double depth fleece mattress for when the nights get colder. The Nash Indulgence Air-Lite Sleeping System Bedchair is a real innovative first. It has all the benefits of the standard Air-lite with the added advantage of a true all season sleeping bag system which actually zips to the bedchair itself !!

How To Set Up The MCF Dumper Lead Clip

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

The  MCF Dumper Lead Clip  is a very clever and innovative lead clip that is guaranteed to drop the lead in the event of a fish snagging or weeding you up. The tapered sleeves incorporated in this lead clip system help to minimise tangles. This Carp Catchers Blog will show you step by step how to set it up.

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip1

These can be set-up with any form of leader or tubing but for the purpose of this demonstration I used a ready spliced leadcore leader.

Step 1.

Using a bait needle thread the small rubber sleeve onto your leader or tubing.

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip2

Step 2.

Now you need to pass your spliced leader loop through the metal loop on the lead clip. Or tie on your mainline with your rig tubing already threaded on (Miss steps 3 and 4).

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip3

Step 3.

Then pass the lead clip through the loop in the end of your leader.

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip4

Step 4.

Pull the leader to secure the loop around the metal loop.

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip5

Step 5.

Push the small rubber sleeve over the metal loop.

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip6

Step 6.

Now push a baiting needle through the longer sleeve from next to the metal hook out of the tapered end and latch the baiting needle onto your choosen rig.

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip7

Step 7.

Once you’ve pulled your hooklink through loop it over the metal hook.

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip9

Step 8.

To finish the setup pull the hooklink tight and clip on a lead.

MCF_Dumper_Lead_Clip

The lead should not eject on a normal force cast, however if a distance cast is required I would suggest securing the lead in place with PVA tape.

If you are using rig tubing then adapt the instructions accordingly.
