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 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.

Step 2.
Double over the tag end of your mainline and pass the loop through the eye of the size 11 swivel provided.

Step 3.
Now tie an overhand knot with the doubled over section of your mainline but don’t tighten it yet.

Step 4.
Pass the swivel through the loop created by the overhand knot.

Step 5.
Now moisten the knot and gently tighten it down.

Step 6.
Pull the lead clip down over the swivel until you hear it click into the clip.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Step 3.
Then pass the lead clip through the loop in the end of your leader.

Step 4.
Pull the leader to secure the loop around the metal loop.

Step 5.
Push the small rubber sleeve over the metal loop.

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.

Step 7.
Once you’ve pulled your hooklink through loop it over the metal hook.

Step 8.
To finish the setup pull the hooklink tight and clip on a lead.

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.

We have had some more Rapala Lures delivered and again they look absolutely superb. In this blog we’ll look at the best way to use them.

Rapala Deep Tail Dancer Lure
The Rapala Deep Tail Dancer Lure is best trolled from a boat but can be cast from the bank. It is designed to go deep between 4.5 – 9 metres to really search out those big pike. The Deep Tail Dancers action can be greatly improved by using different boat speeds.

Rapala Minnow Rap Lure
The Rapala Minnow Rap can be either cast from the bank or trolled. To achieve the maximum depth (4.5m) use the thinnest line you can, braid if possible. Varying the retrieve can bring outstanding results.

Rapala Super Shad Rap Floating Lure
The Rapala Super Shad Rap Floating Lure will dive to about 1.5 metres, but is best fished just under the surface over weedy or shallow areas. It fishes best with a fairly slow retrieve, but varying the speed will impart different actions which may just give you that extra edge.
All the Rapala lures come in different colours and patterns giving you a range of options for differing light and weather conditons.
Best fishes,
John

The Chod rig is a setup that has over the years banked lots of fish, it works so well due to the hooklink being extremely stiff and its ability to be cast long distances without tangling. Another big advantage of The Chod Rig and the reason it got it’s present name is its ability to present a bait cleanly over a choddy bottom ie. weed, silt, leaves etc.
Part 1 will demonstrate how to set the leader and lead up using ESP components.


Step 1.
Splice the ESP Leadcore with a loop in one end and an ESP Clip link on the other. (See picture below)

Step 2.
Now slide on an ESP Helicopter rig sleeve and push it down to the clip link. (See Picture below)

Step 3.
Then thread on two 3-4mm lengths of 0.5mm ESP Silicon tubing. (See picture below)

Step 4.
Followed by two 5mm ESP Rubber Shock Beads with an ESP Big Eye Swivel in the middle. (See picture below)

Step 5.
Now you need to decide on a lead, most people prefer a distance lead for this setup the lead shown is a grippa lead. Once you’ve choosen the lead, you need to remove the swivel with a pair of wire cutters or pliers. (See picture below)

Step 6.
Now clip the lead onto the clip link. (See picture below)

Step 7.
Then push the helicopter sleeve over the clip and loop at the top of the lead, slide one of the pieces of silicone down to just above the sleeve and push the first rubber shock bead over the top then position the other piece of silicone an inch above and do the same with the last rubber shock bead.
So far it should look like this.

The beads and swivel can be positioned at any point along the leadcore to compensate for depth of weed or silt.
