Really enjoyed these podcasts great insight into chods. Just a bit of constructive criticism instead of asking questions when the guest is halfway though explaining something maybe wait until he has finished because quite often they never go back to explaining what they was originally on about before being asked another question. Apart from that great stuff 👍🏼

Excellent video. Another great one from Gardner. Matt Eaton is definitely in “chodfather” territory. I’ve inadvertently been doing a similar thing using very light leads but using a very looping cast to get the lead and leader to drop in vertically then I’ll let the line sink itself back to the rod. However, I’ll be trying Matt’s approach as I think it has more finesse to it.

Some good information here. Been using chod rigs a lot the past few months. Not really been confident on them due to not catching on them. Maybe it was a quiet spell with the weather change. But i wasn't confident at all due to the chod going so close to the lead if I hooked one! Anyway, today I caught my first chod rig carp, and it was well hooked right in the scissors!! Thanks for the tip of extending the helicopter so the lead is away from the chod, it definitely gave me more confidence with the rig! Great all round podcast 👏🏻

Great insight from a real thinker. Would like to have heard how he stops his top bead coming off the lead core and onto mainline on the cast though.
@matteaton7427 Жыл бұрын
Hi Simon. Sorry I didn't cover that aspect. I use one of Gardner's chod beads that I had a hand in designing. The bottom half of the Y shaped hole grips the leader whilst the wider top half enables them to slip over the leader knot. I've actually manged to see one working in action when I went out in a boat to free a snagged carp. The wide bore is the one for lead core. It's essential to have the larger hole facing the rod tip.

Hi Matt said that he wouldn't use the chod while feeding particles, could I just ask why please? I'm pretty new to all out proper carp fishing so I'm trying to gather knowledge for any given situation 😎
@jimwocha49493 жыл бұрын
Because of the different way in which carp feed on particles as opposed to boilies. Particles they tend to grub around close to the bottom so you want a rig on the bottom. When feeding boilies, especially in weed like Matt does a child is the best option. In essence use a rig that suits your feeding situation. Chods work well over a spread of boilie.

Inspiring demo, thanks. I'm curious about your knot for the swivel attachment. Are you suggesting a simple overhand knot is strong enough not to slip? My tests do feel less tight than a blood knot.

Did we establish how far away the top should be in deep weed?
@matteaton7427 Жыл бұрын
Top bead would be about 6" from the top of the leadcore regardless of how deep the weed is. The only time I'd move it down would be in water shallower than my leadcore ie 6ft.

thanks for making the video. very interesting. I don't use the chod much so hope this isn't a daft question. what are the advantages of the chod leader extension as opposed to just moving the bottom bead 12 inches up the leader?
@matteaton7427 Жыл бұрын
Hi. Thanks for the question. The reason I use an extension is to keep the lead away from a carp's mouth during the fight. If I just moved the bead up a foot then it would slide back back down once a fish was hooked. Hope that helps. Matt

Great stuff, but interviewer needs to just let Matt flow, because I’m missing out on bits because he is being talked over. It’s like a competition over who knows the most down the pub. Sometimes it’s like “mate shut up a second”. Bit of insecurity going on with the host I think 🙄
@samwright85593 жыл бұрын
9 minutes in and I turned off, there's absolutely no need to cast out and then wave your rod around like a wally so you can 'lay your leader out' just cushion the drop of the lead like every one else does, the chod will be at the top bead when you cast out and the force pushes it back and also when it hits the water the bait pops ups, hence why you use a pop up lol
@Hutch35723 жыл бұрын
The pop up doesnt automatically make its way up to the top of the leader, hence the same method is applied by multiple chod anglers ie Terry, Nige and Matt. He didnt say you need to wave the rod about, you just have to life it up to a 90 degree angle and then feel the lead down as normal. You stick to half-arsed chucks, Matt’s results speak for themselves
@samwright85593 жыл бұрын
@@Hutch3572 pull you're tongue from their arses, of course the pop up hits the top bead its the force of the cast causing it to travel up the leader, when the lead hits the water and you cushion it down your doing the same as this wamble in the video with out waving your rod about aimlessly, go away and come talk to me about chods when your tongues clean 🙄🙄🙄
