Cannot thank you guys enough. You are half my age but your experience and knowledge yesterday helped me catch my personal best of 17lb 5oz Mirror Carp using this method. I used a Crafty Floater Salty Tuna and in 3 casts I landed 2 fish including my PB. For someone who only started fishing again 4 months ago after a 35 year “break” I’m chuffed. Great channel, great advice and so easy to understand. Thanks again.
That 17lb 5oz still a PB pal?
6 months into carp fishing and everything I know is from Alex and Carl. Can't thank you guys enough ❤
So happy to hear this Ben! Big love!
Me too. It was never this technical before when I was a kid but these guys make even an old git like me look good.
So simple, can't fault these boys
As a 51 year old man who has rediscovered his love of fishing, yours videos are quite simply brilliant! Excellent content that is easy to follow, and very well articulated verbally and visually. This old dog has certainly learned some new tricks. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
I love your tutorials, you explain everything very clearly & easy to understand for people who are just getting into carp fishing.
Happy Christmas & all the best for all your plans in 2020.

Carl Alex pls can you make a tutorial on how to set up a rod i know its east but im 13 and dont know how to do it thank you
Its pretty simple what do you need to know.
Open the bail arm on your reel and put the mainline through the eyes
Great tutorial! You explain it very clearly. Here in the US we sometime don't need complex rigs, but i do like to know how to tie the latest ones that the anglers in the UK come up with. Great channel keep up the excellent work guys!
Great video guys, I've been looking for a video that explains the Chod rig in more detail. Very thorough and helpful. Top job 👍
I see you are using a barbless hook. is that required in the UK or is that a 'technical' decision?
Some venues have a rule of barbless only in England
Hello my friend I have tips! If you can Comment on all the tools used for yarn I want to use yarn. Your fan from Iran 🌹🇮🇷
Thank you! :)
You need to up grade your filter on your tank if you got carp in it tropical set up wont be enough Carl hence the green tinge in water
Hello, can you use a shot instead of putty? Thanks lads
Great video. Honestly guys you’ve nailed it with these tutorials. It’s bizarre that with so many rig tutorials on UA-cam for so long and yet, yours are buy far the easiest to follow. My 8 year old fishing addict son can really start to make his own rigs 🙏😁
Fantastic video it helped me out loads because I've only really got into carp fishing last year I used to just do float fishing but now I want want something bigger my pb carp what I court last year is 18lb and my pb pike is 12lb I want beat that next year and merry Christmas
An excellent tutorial. I was able to make my very first chod rig following your video, thank you! I have a question though. I used the naked variant for my mono main line. What do you do when the session is done and you need to transport the rods home. Before I just cut the knot and took all from the main line so I was able to transport the rods home. But now there is the barrel and chod sleeve. If I take it out from the line, I won't be able to put it back. How do you handle this? I don't want to have the chod system only for one-time use.
Great video. Would you always use a ring and bait floss, or would you also consider bait screws?
Hi is there a quick way of being able to change my rig on heli setup? At the moment I have mounted my rig with a ring swivel, my rig is now blunt and want to change my rig without having to take beads and lead off!
I’m using the first method cuz looks easier to me. But if I decide to change the rig I’m left with parts that I cannot use anymore cuz I won’t be able to put them on the line again , is there a way to use them again somehow?
would using a back lead work with the setup that doesnt use leadcore? instead of a really slack line
Guys I hit subscribe button in the middle of the film, then you start talking about how to feed with chod rig. I'm so happy that I found you channel. Great work!
How on earth you put the barrow and chod sleeve on the needle, it’s like impossible to me
Guys, I just stumbled accross your channel, after a video was randomly suggested by UA-cam.
I do want to thank you for all the videos, everything I watched so far is very well produced, organized, and everything makes sense. I am very engaged in your tutorials. Before I moved to Ireland and started to focus a lot on sea angling, I was an amateur carp and tench angler myself. Your videos re-ignited that forgotten passion I had a long time ago. So thank you for that!
I am amazed you don't have a lot more subscribers, to be honest. This is not a 50k subs channel, by any means. Here's hopping for you to get to the million soon, you very much deserve it.
Cheers!
Thank you so much for watching! :) Very kind of you to leave a nice comment!
Great video, very useful please do more carp rig videos- Ronnie rig, Zig rig etc.
I'm going to make a few naked chod rigs for a holiday in Suffolk and there's 2 weedy lake's that have Carp to 40lb and I think the Chod could be just what I need will tell you how it goes on my return Crazy Carper.
I have to ask, do you guys actually use these rigs? I ask because you say your mainline is 12lb bs, buy the rigs/hook lengths you're making are using heavier materials, like 25lb bs on one of your videos? I thought we used lighter hook lengths?
Hey, could you allow shipping to Belgium/The Netherlands aswell? I'd like to buy this book but it cannot be shipped to my location. Thanks in advance
I was just thinking there how you said it’s mainly fished on a slack line couldn’t you use drop backs and fish it tight or would it not work
Hey Logan, the reason for suggesting a semi slack line is to ensure the hook doesn’t get pulled down into the weeds. You can still clip on a bobbin normally and a bite should still be registered as usual, you just don’t want to pull the line really tight or else the hook gets pulled downwards into the weeds :)
@@fishingtutorials cheers i am newish to the Chod rig and trying to build more confidence using it but been trying to find videos of them landing in the water on weed or the bottom on different situations to see exactly how they would sit as wouldn't want to fish it first time in some low lying weed and it get messed up cheers for the reply
It could just be me as I’m very new to carp fishing but how would you a find the leader/line material that this is being built on and once you’ve made the rig how would you attach it to your normal fishing line?
Bro chod definitely means something else where I am from lmfao!! This video plays like an April fool's joke.
Didn’t work for me and I followed it step by step but good vid though enjoyed watching it 😁
Just a quick question, I am using the lead clip system that you have done a video about, I have tried it on the canals but not had a take... could this just be down to the fact that their is not as many carp / tench on the canals - am I better trying on a lake over the weekend?
Can I use second option on mono mainline ? Or have to be leader
I noticed my boyfriend was wearing my wife’s thongs to bed what should I do about this?
First, you need to answer 1 question: is your boyfriend your wife? If yes, problem solved. If no, answer a second question: is it hot? If yes, problem solved. If no, couples therapy is always good, but loud screaming matches about the ethics of wearing your boyfriend's wife's thongs to bed are more fun. Keep all these things in mind, and then address the problem in the way you feel best. Remember, this is a common problem, and there's no need to feel embarrassed.
I am a salt water fisherman and i do like to feel the experience of carp fishing
I don't know if this rig working or not but the way you secured rig ring makes me really unsecured
I also think that you use a large diameter of fishing line and this results in the bait not having a normal movement in the water
I have noticed the places i fish have rules against using any lead core or leaders and also not allowing naked rigs only tubing does that make this process much harder?
Hi carl, what knot do you use to tie your main line onto ur leader
Carl can I use a PVA bag with my Chod rig? Thanks for the effort in doing the video
Do I have to keep buying safety systems because I can’t find barrel beads for sale
Great video but I’m wondering when the fish is hooked will the chod rig slid down to the lead?
It would be to see how to do this without spending so much on such specific expensive tackle.
Can you use the korda heli safe leader and then attach a chod rig to it, rather than a heli rig. Would it still work the same as the naked chod?
Great video, can I use Durakord leadfree-leader for the leadcore safety system?
Can you just use two pieces of split shot instead of the bead things as I don’t have them
If I was using this for a 15lb mainline what lb hook length is needed?
Is it possible to use coated braid for the rig instead of mono. Thanks.
would this work with a heli safe?
Yes mate works fine
Absolutely :)
when would I use the short chod rig and when would I use the long chod rig?
What are the best uses between a naked chod system and a leadcore chod system?
What Leadcore Leader are you using?
Nice rig I don't think any of my local tackle shops carry anything like that unfortunately though
Well said and great tips bro. One thing I would like to ask you why these days carp hook points are slightly band towards it's eye why not straight pointed hook. Is there pros and cons of this band point hook. Kindly clear my doubt bro.
Great vid boys would to see a video on the difference in different prepared baits like different types of pellets and boilies as an American It’s really confusing learning the differences when trying to up my game from just fishing corn and maize
Do u have to use the beads I can’t find them anywhere
Hi guys! I was searching for a good chod rig tutorial, and - of course - I found this video. Another great instructional video. I'm going to use this info very soon, ordering materials first. Thanks again!
Does this pass the no fixed leads or naked rigs rule ?
If your not sure of the bottom is it a good idea to literally make this your default rig on all rods on the day? Unless you have time to lead around? And then maybe use different setups but have this as a default ?
Hi there, yes if we’re going somewhere new or somewhere weedy/silty then chod rigs are a great bet.
Once you’ve leased around and found clear areas then you can fish normal rigs but if you wanna just cast out three rods to showing fish or stay mobile the chod rig is great.
Fishing Tutorials thanks very much! And would
You say definetly used with a heli lead setup? Or maybe a hinged stiff on a lead clip? Thanks again for the reply
Can you fish with corn/ fakecorn or only boille
Any tips I can’t get my mouth trap line back through the eye of the hook for 3rd time for the d shape once I’ve put the rig ring in place?
Apologies if it’s a stupid question I’m using a choddy krank hook could that be why? Is the hook eye smaller? I’m new to specimen fishing your videos have encouraged me to have a go many thanks!
Thanks guys used your tutorial to make this had 4 screaming runs on a new water landed 3 lovely carp and lost one but it happens, cheers lad 💪
When you say a heavy floro or mono for the naked chod rig what would you say is heavy 20lb or higher ? Many thanks 😊
They're referring to the type of material, not the breaking strain. Some mono, e.g. Korda Subline, is designed to sink better than others as it's "heavier"
This is the best fishing channel on YT! Been watching your videos since you started out! Bought me back to fishing. Clear and simple and not trying to get us to pay ridiculous amounts of money for rigs lol.. Thanks boys :0) hope you and tye family have a great Christmas.
General question on chod rigs. With the hook length being so short, if you don't ditch the lead isn't it going to be hitting the fish during the fight? I use helicopter rigs and it's very similar and I'm worried I'm damaging the fish. Thanks!
American here all the carp rig videos from across the pond are super complex I catch them here for fun with a Carolina rig and corn. Are they just supper picky there or something?
I didn't use a chod rig but caught my pb common carp in MA today. 15mm boilie on a hair rig in a river, probably wouldn't even be carp fishing if it weren't for your channels
Great video, as you know Carl I love your videos. Would it be a good idea to promote the helisafe system so you can drop the lead if needs be …. Hopefully sending the carp up into the water making it easier to land the fish.
I hate dropping leads as much as the next guy but I’m a firm believer that it can mean landing a fish or losing it. Just a bit of food for thought for people.
Will the rig be allowed in a no fixed lead lake ??? ( As the quick change swivel will open up under pressure allowing the lead to fall off) also will this mean it is a semi fixed lead?
Best fishing tutorial videos guys!! Keep up the good work.
After tying the leadcore leader what’s the best way to join it to the main line?
How would this work with a lake that only allows safezone leaders
So does it matter if your main line is 12lb when the rigs are 20-30lb plus with dark mater etc? Bit confused
Do Chod rigs avoid tench and bream?
Can you fish a chod rig with a bottom bait?
Nice vid guys!
The rig is quite interesting.Got the whole ideea of the mechanics of this rig. Not fishing for carp alot my self but here is my question: whats the diference betwen this rig and the zig rig.
Maybe you will go through the zig rig some day.
Have a nice weekend!
I’ve been carp fishing 4 times with out landing a single carp only catfish. It’s definitely an obsession right now. I’ll give it a shot and update
Its not only helpful to fish slackline, its really really important, otherwise the whole system would be useless!!Great input to fish it with a boilie spreaded area feeding spot!!sounds logic and I always wondered
Could u do a vid on how to find spots in lake using maker floats and leads , personally that’s my weakest point in carp fishing and I’m sure a lot more carp anglers too, cheers
Great video lads very clear and we’ll put together. I have stayed away from fishing the chod as I was always paranoid that my bait is off the bottom specially if I was trying to fish a slack line on a windy day. Can you take me through the process of how you guys fish your main line after you cast the chod out please. Do you just let of loads of slake then put it on your alarms? Would be great if you could talk me through your way after you cast the bait out.
Why advertise Korda? You are ex Nash boys surely Nash do choddys And rig bits?
Hello young professor, very excellent, interesting and informative content
Guys if i was fishing over silt would you reccomend a Leadcore leader or just fish it naked
Hey guys love the video! On the helcopter could i fish with the stiff hing rig not the chod rig?
These guys know their carp fishing and their tutorials are very welcome to watch and try out keep it up lads your doing a great job.l
Same here only a few months into it and a very empty pocket afterwards 😂 but I am the same I couldn't of made it this far without my two favourite brothers. Carl & Alex. Give yourself a good pat on the bk from us all nuff love Jamie hope I see you one day.
Thanks so much for watching dude! :)
so the first ones just tied on the mainline
Thank you for your explanation of the chod system, I found your narrative to be very easily understood, I have used standard hair rigs on a swivel allowing movement between 2 tungsten shot for many years and found it to be a different and effective way of catching carp, but your system is much more fish friendly and more importantly precise(that came out wrong fish welfare is paramount and precision is secondary 😓!) I used your account of use on YT.
It’s been invaluable to myself as I was using a method which was far less savvy on all aspects of safety and success I just wanted to thank BOTH of you as your method feels and is far superior,sorry I have taken this long to express my appreciation (I used method feeders for carp and did not explore the chod system) I was very happy to use feeders as they seemed to suit all my needs as well as the other well known systems,believe it or not I was blissfully using most of the other systems and did not consider using the chod until coming across a situation where it was the “go too” choice!, I didn’t want to leave this unsaid as you and your brother are admirable in the way you approach the sport I wish happiness and success in your endeavours in the future from one more informed angler yours Jammin.
Ah that's great :) Really glad to hear the videos have helped with your fishing! Thank you so much for your comment. ❤️
Any tips for using the chod rig with tubing ? As leader ban on the waters I fish
I'm fairly new to carp fishing, you say choddys should be fished with slack line, what if you are fishing in strong gusty wind do you use a different set up for that?
If it’s quite windy, then I’ll put my rod tips as low as possible, even a little bit beneath the surface. You don’t need to fish really slack, just enough that the line isn’t pulled up off the bottom. :)
Great video but you can buy all of this from the tackle shop pretied with the beads allready on the leader👍
Super never been to sure how to fish over weed and never used a chod set up .
Let's go and have a go ..
Cheers lads great video
Perfect, but dam, so much prep... I just need to tie a hook to the line with bait 😂
can u show us how to tie a zig rig
Great video mate. One question, the fish hook themselves due to the weight of the lead upon taking the bait? Or do you still need to wind down the slack line and strike?
Yes its the weight, no need to strike
Thanks for the great tips! I usually fish a variant of this, just a helicopter rig with sinking baits (boiled feedcorn, balls of white bread, a maggot clip, a fake crayfish etc.) in combination with a method lead. However, I have also experienced those hesitant bites when fishing pop-ups, and I think that might be due to them being fished over a ball of bait. Maybe I'll put more distance between the hooklink and the packbait when fishing pop-ups next time :)
I’m yet to have a fish on a chod everyone says it such a good rig but is it in fact even a good rig compared to the Ronnie rig just seen strange that a Ronnie rig can do the damage and a chod won’t get a run strange old creatures lol
When you get confident using the chod rig it’s a hard rig to beat in my opinion. the rig is so versatile you can use it in most fishing situations, you can fish it naked or on a leader to suit venue or lake bed and it comes into its own on weedy waters or waters that are highly pressured as you know that you only have to cast once and 99% of the time the rig is fishing, Instead of marking around to find spots and spooking fish. Give them a go 👍
Peaky Carperz I’ve fished them for years and haven’t even had a bleep on them pre tied and made my own just doesn’t seem to get picked up I’ll keep bashing away with them but not got the confidence I used to have
Kaylum Harrison that’s strange pal, try going to a runs water and have a go there to see if you get pick ups and to build your confidence back up. A must with choddys though they have to be fished slack lined to allow the bait to sit correctly. 👍
Peaky Carperz I don’t like fishing runs waters pal not being a fussy get lol just I prefer to fish for older carp park lakes I always fish super slack lines never fish tight lines just strange how I’ve never had a pick up
Kaylum Harrison I’m the same mate old estate/park lakes and the syndicate but I’ve had some decent fish off the choddys and the ronnies to be honest.
The only youtube video on chod rigs you will need. Excellent.
Really really really good advice. Thanks for explaining so much about choddies. Hardly any shoutouts on your regular channel towards this channel!
I use a baitscrew (nash) instead of the rigring. Easy as pie!
Could you fish the chod rig with a bait screw instead of bait floss and rig ring?
Cheers
Liam
Yes mate just buy a bait screw instead of the ring :) good luck buddy!
I use a baitscrew (nash) instead of the rigring. Easy as pie!
On the naked chod, what is the use to the clip? Why not just tie it straight to your lead?
So that you can change lead if you need to cast further :)
@@fishingtutorials ah that makes sense cheers lol.
Also I've been watching other videos on naked chods and some people are saying to have a extra foot for the lead incase of hookpulls, is that really necessary?
Just started carp fishing thanks for helping keep it up 👍
