That's great to hear mate nice work!

Awesome mate keep up the good work 👌

Cheers fella hope it helps you catch a few let us know how it goes 👌

Cheers fella kind words 👌👍

Thanks mate yes it does test my patience sometimes! Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess

Welcome mate hope it helps 👌

Good man hope it works for you 👌

Cheers mate there's another video coming next week 👌😉

Welcome mate 👌

Cheers fella 👌

Let us know how you get on 👌😉

Thanks mate really appreciate it

Sounds good mate let me know how you get on 👌

Cheers fella I'll definitely be trying it more now 👌

Cheers fella can't please everyone but one day I might make a vid that everyone likes 😅

It's down to confidence I guess find what works for you and stick with it 😉👌

I just worry the extra metal and weight will be detected by the fish. I'll give it a try though 👌

Trying the turbo German today 💪

You don't strip the coating back on a German rig

Simon use a trimmed 12mm pop up to counterbalance the extra weight of the ring swivel

@@SimonDewCarpFishing Obviously what you do obviously works mate 👍

Cheers fella much appreciated yeah I think it's going to be a winner. I've already had a few fish with it 👌😉

Thanks mate much appreciated. Hope it helps you catch a few 👌👍

@@SimonDewCarpFishing got any vids on fishing in silt struggling with a certain venue, deep silt mate

Best of luck mate 👌

@@SimonDewCarpFishing well mate the rig did work. 👌 Il be making some more this week.

Stiff fluoro booms are all well and good if the lake bad is flat with no snags at all but as soon as there’s even a broken twig you run the risk of having a poorly presented rig and you’re not fishing. Keep it simple with a KD - gets um every time 😉

@@SPS_survivor I know what you mean, one day ticket I fish has a ton of trees overhanging about 75% of the lake and the lake bed is a mess of branches so my stiff Ronnie just doesn't work, although getting wrapped up in those branches by fish late at night/early morning is more of a problem for me there, not being able to see the snags until you're pulled in them keeps my visits to a minimum.

Cheers fella much appreciated. Yes I imagine a similar rig mechanics with fluorocarbon. They do work of course but I think there are better options 👌

Sounds good mate I just worry they won't be able to pick it up due to the lack of flexibility 👍

@@SimonDewCarpFishing soft coated hook-links are not that stiff that a carp is not able to pick the bait up in my opinion. The break will help it twist and turn in the carps mouth but it will also make it easier for the carp to spit the whole thing out. Is it because of or despite of you caught the carp? That’s always the question which nobody can answer. I fished with thick amnesia in the past and even that produced lots of carp for me. So many variables in fishing. From which direction does the carp approach the hook bait, Is your hook link straight or not for instance. Coming from the wrong direction it might not be able to pick it up because the hook link is straightened out. Coming from the right direction the carp might hook itself but only if the hook link pulls tight against the lead before the carp can spit it out because it detected something it didn’t like. A carp is a carp but not all carp do feed in the same way. That’s why some get caught very often and some very rare. If you had the opportunity to pre bait and the carp have eaten plenty of your bait without getting hooked it will probably pick your hook bait up with much more confidence than when it has never eaten it before. Nearly any rig will catch in that situation I guess. I really do like your videos especially the one comparing pop-up rigs. It showed that it doesn’t matter what rig you use as long as it is in the right spot it will catch you carp. It’s all about confidence in my opinion. Far to long this answer 😂. Keep on testing and sharing the results mate👍.

Hi mate yes I have I've actually done a video on this I think it's called the rig that caught a 60

That sounds mega mate 😉

😅I know mate always noisy round that lake

I'll try it that way mate 👌

I've not tried the turbo version yet but I'll give it a go 👌

Switched to it about 4 years ago using a stiff boom and spinner swivel, and all I use now,never fails.

@@jason88580 this will only work if the fish approaches the bait from the front side, not from the rear/led side.

@@TheRolf88 It's all I use all my fish in the UK and Europe has come from this rig,so much confidence in it, and if I'm on the fish it hasn't failed me yet.

So you heat shrink wrap the stripped braid?

Sounds spot on mate 👌

@@theharris7207 Hi pal, no just leave 5mm soft section from the eye and slide silicone over this, no shrink tube as this would stop the hook spinning or turning. The hook turns the same as Simon demonstrated but it maintains a semi stiff or stiff hook link depending on what hook link you use.

@@dannywilson9022 I'll give it a go

@@theharris7207 I’ve been using this rig with 12/15mm mainline fruity squid dumbbell wafters or boiles straight out the bag with chops and freebies, just remember to ensure the silicone is the same length as the soft braid so the hook has full rotation and movement, if you need any more help let me know, good luck let me know how it goes

These are the taska ceramic scissors not sure they're still available but search ceramic scissors and I'm sure you'll find similar 👌

This rig is about as simple as it gets mate 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@SimonDewCarpFishing if you believe that I think you are at the stage of over thinking can be an anglers worst nightmare stick to what you know we all have our own variation but don't get sucked in I been on the bank nearly 30 years I've seen it all

Thanks for your comment mate I hope the rig tied in this way makes all the difference. Let us know how you get on 👌

I've not tried it for pop ups but it will definitely work this way with a break in the coating 👌😉

Yes you can mate although if its weedy a pop up might be better 👍

Haha nice one fella 😂

I guess all variations of this rig will work but results with it fishing this way have been really good so far 👌

I love the multi rig too the only thing I find is the upright section can slip or loose shape on big casts etc which is why I prefer a shrink tube upright section like the withy pool rig

Turbo German or something isn't it?

Yea something like that but it works a treat

Kind of but same problem hook can spin on swivel everything else still stiff

I just don't get the appeal if the Ronnie but I still experiment to see if I can improve it 😉

The idea is the hook needs to be hanging down so it's in the right position when it enters the carps mouth therefore more likely to catch hold in the bottom lip. The bait can still be blown back to exactly the same position as the original rig

@@SimonDewCarpFishing It doesn't matter how the hook enters the fishes mouth it won't hook it on the way in. The bait been set so low on the shank it negates the blowback effect

Having a semi buoyant bait near the bend of the hook means it's a lot harder for the hook to turn down and hook the bottom lip. I'm not saying it doesn't work but it's all about percentages. If you can have the hook pointing down to start with then it's already in the right position when it's blown out. The blowback effect relies on the bait being blown back to the eye which it can with my version of the rig 🤷🏻‍♂️

Will try it mate 👌

I'm not say the rig doesn't work I know it does but it's all about percentages, if you add an element of flexibility then the carp can get it in their mouths easier and from any angle. A stiff rig works only if the carp picks the bait up from a certain direction I'd rather have a chance from any direction 👌

@@SimonDewCarpFishing I don’t agree , and let’s face it we don’t know when we land a fish what direction the fish has picked the bait up from do we , some stiff rigs are flexible hinge stiff rig for instance, an spin as there picked up , You rig in question as all rigs hook on the way out not the way in !, by the nature of how a hook works IMO

You're entitled to your opinion and as stated in the video I know the German rig works but in my opinion this version is better. You say no missed takes well you wouldn't know that unless watching the carp feeding underwater. Even the best rig in the world will have missed takes occasionally. Carp don't always move the lead and register on the alarm when they pick up a bait. I'm just trying to show you can tweak rigs to make them more effective and increase the percentages in your favour. For you to say it's absolutely rubbish is a little over the top 🤷🏻‍♂️
