Rig problem!

[jp]

I have recently tried a no fuss quick and easy rigging up method. I would make rigs of various sizes for various feeding methods at home in the warm, dry, comfort of my own home. Using an 8ld main line i would tie a loop in the end to which i could clip the pre made rigs. The problems i faced were that the main line and the 6lb hook lengths were frequently snapping and the links were giving way. From these experiences i have decided to scrap the link system and use main line straight through and go from there. would this be sensible and what hooklengths and mainlines should i be using? and is braid any good as i have never used it?

cheers.

the answer to ur problem is 2 use a higher breaking strain braid like snakebite or mantis brain and tie a simple hair rig using the knotless knot. htis is ideal for autumn fishing but it the midst of summer try to use a flourocarbon as it is less visible and the the depths of winter use monofiliment as carp do not need to feed as much so if anything looks suspicious to them the wll leave it. hope i helped
