Avid Carp Mega Sight Stops
Total Carp Staff  |  Sep 21, 2012  |  0 comments
The addition of a coloured topper to a hook bait is undoubtedly effective and these stops from Avid combine that with the hair stop. I only started using them when Avid produced the buoyant version. If I have a ‘sighter’ on the bait then I want it sat proud so that the carp can actually see it!The large versions are ideal for tipping a trimmed, barrel-shaped hook bait; something that I use a lot inside bags. So far they’ve worked, particularly the yellow ones, and I like the fact that they sit nice and flush with the baits once the small ‘hook’ is drawn inside.

Avid Carp In Line Inserts
Total Carp Staff  |  Aug 23, 2012  |  0 comments
I have used the long versions when fishing with PVA bags, in conjunction with Avid’s excellent In-Line Groove leads and they work pretty well. The longer stem gives something to work with when tying the bags off, but I have found them to be quite a loose fit. This is a problem if I have to push the lead down into the bag once filled because the insert simply pushes through the lead rather than taking the lead with it. They also do not really suit many leads other than Avid’s, which is fine because I guess they’re not designed to.

Korda Kable Leadcore
Total Carp Staff  |  Jul 18, 2012  |  0 comments
I am a huge fan of leadcore and, when employed correctly, I have no issues with its use. I’ll use anything when making up my really short (10in) leaders for use when PVA-bag fishing, but my helicopter rigs demand something a little longer, normally around three to five feet. In this situation the Kable has fast become a favourite, thanks largely to how supple it is. I have no fears that it is not sitting nice and flush to the lake bed.
