Fishing Rigs Fishing Knots Fish Species Fishing Tips Fishing Videos Fun Fishing Quiz The resistance-free running rig has to be one of the simplest leger and feeder rigs a fisherman ought to know how to tie, and its deadly too. It will work on rivers, lakes and canals, for almost all British freshwater fish, and below you'll find out how to tie it... This rig can be used with a groundbait feeder, a blockend feeder or a straight lead, and it can be used with a very short hooklength or a really long one the choice is yours. This rig is ideal as it allows the angler to swap and change the weight, style of type of leger/feeder being used in seconds.

Here s how to tie it

A Your mainline needs to be strong enough to cope with the fish you are likely to catch. An average day on an average stillwater will require 4-6lb line. B Thread a Korum Feedabead or snap link swivel onto your mainline and follow this with a small bead. C Now securely tie on a micro swivel. Micro swivels are tiny and therefore they weigh very little , so a fish that takes the bait won t be able to feel the weight of this tiny swivel. D Clip your chosen weight onto the Feedabead or snap link swivel. It could be a groundbait feeder, a blockend feeder or a straight lead. E Your hooklength choice will again depend upon the size of fish present in the venue. The best hooklengths are high-tech lines as these offer great strength for a reduced diameter, meaning you ll get more bites and stand a better chance of landing the fish you hook. A good starting point for general fishing will be 0.10 mm, but step up to something like 0.16 mm if you are hittinginto lots of big carp. F Your hook needs to match the size of your chosen bait .
