Chodding
a brilliant rig for Carp and Specimen Fishing.
There has been many articles written about
the Chod rig and chodding so here I will just give a brief rundown.
What is a Chod rig and what is
Chodding?
The Chod
rig is, basically a pop up rig, enabling anglers to present bait
over a choddy bottomed lake. The chod has proved to be a very
successful carp rig and has been used by many specimen anglers to
catch a lot of big fish.
Although a Chod rig can be used when fishing for most species of
fish it is predominantly known for its use by anglers when carp
fishing over weedy or silty bottom lakes.
If using the conventional ledger fishing technique on a lake or any
water with a weedy or soft muddy bottom your bait could get buried
and therefore not seen by a carp. The Chod rig was specifically
designed for fishing in this situation. Using buoyant baits this rig
will present your bait above the weed or silt no matter how thick
the weed or how deep the lead sinks into the the soft mud.
The Chod
rig can be adjusted so that the bait can be positioned higher or
lower on the line according to the depth of weed or silt.
I could
write how to tie a chod rig but below is a video that explains what
you will need and how to tie the rig yourself.
For those who don't want to tie their own, ready made Chod rigs are
available to buy in tackle shops.
