Tom, can’t find a link for your lead feeders….. Interested in prices and availability.
On a phone or tablet, tap the video title to open up the description. On a computer, only part of the description is shown. Click "more" to open up the full description. If you still have trouble finding it let me know.
Got it, thanks!
Another good video, I use your first 99% rig. You explain things so well , don't know how well you put up with other people's kids but I think you would be a great teacher.
Kids and adults are the same. Some are nice to be around, and some are obnoxious little brats.
And that is why I like fishing alone most of the time.
Great to see you considering carp safety and fishing ethics in your video mate. Good work.
Super simple and effective setup. This is my 100% rig. I did change to silicone beads from Amazon because my cheap plastic beads cracked one time.
I really like your channel. Very good content.
Glad you enjoy it!
🤘😎🤘🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣 2023 upgrade!! Beautiful video!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really informative video. I'm hoping to begin carp fishing this fall in the Ohio River near Louisville. Due to knee issues, I need an accessible bank. Thanks for the how-to of assembling a carp rig.
Glad you found the video useful!
Good stuff Tom! I went out this morning,and I think I’m going to head back out. I appreciate your no nonsense approach to simplifying catching carp. Your jig tool is pretty smart. 🙏❤️😎👍
Good luck!
Very informative Tom
Nice job explaining your set up tom!
I tie a small knot of rubber band around my hair loop .And just slide it for different size hook baits
That's a great idea!
@@OutsidewithTom bobber stop will work also.
I really like your channel and had to subscribe. You are really good at teaching. I mostly fly fish for carp and I do it enjoy that style but I like gear fishing as well it’s just that i am a beginner when it comes to carp.
Thanks, welcome aboard.
Good tutorial Tom.
Excellent video!
Thanks Jack.
Okay I’m sold just put in my first order Thanks
Thanks, Matt.
I like your rig. And... you are the 1st onest fisherman 😂😂😂. O just order those sinkers. I believe are the best in the field. I’ll try and let you (everybody) know. Thank you! .. .. onest fisherman
Right on, thanks!
I don't know if you get in in your area but cloves also make a good bate stop.. They say the scents help a bit but I don't think it's enough to make a difference though
Interesting idea, thanks for sharing.
Which one is more effective for carp on the hook? Tiger nut , fresh corn ?
Very good rig I use a different type of hook mine are wide gap with a 15degree inward turn but my rig is the same concept
Nice 👍
What’s your thoughts on those spring feeders from china? Did you experience the pack bait getting stuck inside?
Yep
Hi Tom, is there a reason why your leader is stronger than your main line? Wouldn't using a stronger leader cause line breaks to happen on the main line (losing the method feeder)? I haven't used a leader for fishing before so I don't know better, but I'm hoping to get a Carp setup for next year!
The weight rating is irrelevant to me, the diameter is why I use 30lb braid. Braid is much smaller in diameter than mono, and cuts much more easily. I use 30lb braid because it is thicker and has more abrasion resistance than 20lb braid. I don't subscribe to the idea of planning for break offs. I like to use strong enough main line so that break offs almost never happen unless I want it to. Good question, I like the way you're thinking.
@OutsidewithTom Thanks!!! That makes a lot of sense. The abrasion resistance will be important for me since the river banks here in NH can be really rocky (it's the granite state for a reason). I really appreciate your insight. Hopefully I can use what I've learned from you to catch my first Carp next spring 🤞
During the spring i wasted alot of time using 8,10, 12 and by the time i got the 15lbs on the mail i was so frustrated of fishes breaking my line i bought the cheapest strongest rod i could find to start using 30 lbs line. I think i over did it because I've seen the big fishes he gets with less. Sadly my Potomac area is dead right now 😢😢 all i have are the happy but sad, frustrated days of me fighting with the carps and probably a few catfish 😂...
Not time wasted, lessons learned. Good luck out there!
@@OutsidewithTom so, so much!! I gave up on fishing years ago, when i heard there were dead fishes bloating in the Potomac for unknown reasons, (and i stopped catching fishes in the fall/winter) i didn't even bother to renew my license and gave my fishing stuff away for free. This is a great channel , when i was fishing all i could think was don't complicate ****, remember how angry tom gets when people make a big deal about little things/details that are not really going to make a big difference 😅
Hi Tom
Ever tried spicy corn? If so, how was it?
Yep, see for yourself. ua-cam.com/video/8IYLH2GcDjw/v-deo.html
@@OutsidewithTomMany thanks!
Worked for me as well
